West Ham United’s Premier League campaign is almost with us.
The restart following the temporary suspension of the season is a tricky one for the Hammers with a home tie against Wolves at the London Stadium.
David Moyes’ side are preparing for a relegation scrap as they sit 16th in the standings, level on points with Watford and Bournemouth who are currently snaking into the drop zone.
How will West Ham do against Wolves?
Win
Draw
Lose
The visitors are having a strong season as they are 6th in the table and chasing those all-important European places for a second successive season.
With this in mind, football.london journalist Sam Inkersole gave a gloomy prediction on what he expects from West Ham when kick-off comes.
Wolves are a bogey team for West Ham since 2018 – the Hammers haven’t scored a goal against Nuno’s men. This weekend is an early shot at a massive confidence boost in more ways than one. https://t.co/M6EBS8rg9s

He, sadly, has a point. They are without a win against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side since 2016 and have fallen to defeat. as well as failed to score, in their past three encounters, as per 11v11.com.
It will be a huge result and a galvanizing morale boost to the squad if they can get a result in this game, sending a clear message to the teams around them in the standings.
