It has been a few rounds since Wolves last taste of success in the Premier League and they should expect no presents from upcoming opponents The Irons.

The Irons look to extend their current momentum with another positive result. In their 3 latest outings West Ham managed to get a rather comfortable 2-0 home win to Leeds and went on to a 1-0 defeat against Manchester United. Their latest game produced a 3-3 draw against Arsenal.
It has the look of an equal match up, however West Ham still seem better value for a win here than ill-performing Wolves.
