Wolves have the chance to put themselves above the 20-point mark against West Ham on Sunday afternoon.
Gary O’Neil‘s Wolves side will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest last weekend as they head South to the London Stadium.
Here, Old Gold will have the task of piling the misery onto David Moyes’ West Ham side who were thrashed by Fulham 5-0 last weekend.
It’s a game which pits two sides vying for midtable against each other and with a win Wolves could move just two points behind The Hammers.
So the stakes are high which means team selection is vital, so here’s our predicted line-up.
Wolves predicted XI v West Ham
So after much conversation before the Forest game, ultimately Jose Sa started ahead of Dan Bentley. This is something we expect will continue here against the European champions despite Sa conceding to Forest.
In central defence, it’ll be the usual three of Toti Gomes, Max Kilman and Craig Dawson who all start with the hopes of adding another clean sheet.
At right-back, Nelson Semedo starts as he has been almost undroppable for O’Neil of late. His left-sided counterpart should be the returning Rayan Ait-Nouri who is back from injury.
Moving into midfield, Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes are inseparable for Wolves with both absolutely pivotal to O’Neil’s gameplan, particularly Lemina who’s become among the club’s best.
Going forward, Pedro Neto remains out of this one and so the front three will stay the same, with all three members in top form.
Matheus Cunha on the left, Pablo Sarabia on the right and then Hwang Hee-Chan up front for Wolves, a deadly combo that should be able to punish West Ham.
Sa; Kilman, Dawson, Toti Gomes; Semedo, Lemina, Joao Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Hwang, Cunha.
