Wolves vs West Ham prediction
Wolverhampton Wanderers comfortably steered themselves clear of the bottom three and the relegation places last season but, after the departures of key men such as Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha, they look set to struggle this this time around with back-to-back to nil losses to Manchester City and then AFC Bournemouth.
West Ham United, on the other hand, have endured a miserable few months under Graham Potter and, after being annihilated in the second-half on the opening day with a 3-0 loss to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, the Irons were then beaten by five goals to one at the London Stadium against Chelsea in a result that arguably flattered them.
Potter appears to already be under immense pressure in east London, and Wolves would have to be viewed as favourites to progress, with their home advantage.
Wolves vs West Ham tip: Double chance – Wolves to win or draw
