West Ham preview: Fighting Hammers

West Ham United come into this one on the back of an entertaining 2-2 draw with Leeds United in their FA Cup quarter-final at the London Stadium last weekend, eventually losing on penalties against another side in the relegation battle.

The Hammers head into this weekend with an opportunity to, for about 40 hours or so at least, climb out of the bottom three and the relegation places; putting Tottenham Hotspur into the danger zone.

Wolves preview: Restoring pride

Wolverhampton Wanderers have shown real fight in the last month or so with Rob Edwards at the helm. The visitors do remain 13 points adrift of safety, though, with just seven games of the campaign to go.

They most recently fought back from 2-0 down to share a 2-2 draw with Brentford a few weeks ago, backing up back-to-back victories against Liverpool and Aston Villa at Molineux, showing signs of life.

West Ham vs Wolves prediction

Wolves need a miraculous escape of the likes that have never, and probably will never, happen. They are becoming difficult to play against and earning some pride back, though. West Ham have performed well in 2026 but have dipped in recent outings, with a woeful performance in a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa before the international break. The Irons remain slight favourites with home advantage but Wolves are expected to make it awkward for the desperate east Londoners.

West Ham vs Wolves tip: West Ham to win & under 3.5 goals
