West Ham v Wolves

West Ham vs Wolves Preview

After putting together a solid looking four-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, there weren't have been many people that would have predicted a landslide 5-0 victory for Fulham over West Ham in last weekend's all-London clash at Craven Cottage but this is exactly what unfolded alongside the Thames last Sunday while Wolves gained a point with a 1-1 draw at home with Nottingham Forest.

West Ham had previously racked up three wins within their preceding four games in the form of victories over Nottingham Forest 3-2, Burnley 2-1 and a 2-1 win against Tottenham while also gaining a point by way of a 1-1 draw at home withy Crystal Palace, so to suffer a 5-0 hiding at Fulham last weekend was almost inexplicable and a result that will still have manager David Moyes scratching his head.

Overall results so far this season in the Premier League have been pretty inconsistent where West Ham have been concerned as The Hammers have registered seven wins, three draws but lost six games as well, so the prospects of a home win here seem to hang in the balance.

However, goals do look likely here as seven of West Ham's last 10 games overall have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Wolves grabbed a point last weekend when west met east in the midlands clash against Nottingham Forest which helps keep Gary O'Neil's side comfortably away from the relegation zone as the visitors possess a healthy looking 10-point cushion above the bottom three clubs.

After making a shaky start to this season's Premier League campaign which saw the west midlands club secure just one win from their opening five games which was a 1-0 win away at Everton but also slipping to four defeats as they incurred losses against Manchester United 1-0, Brighton 4-1, Crystal Palace 3-2 and Liverpool 3-1, Wolves have since staged a stubborn looking rear-guard action.

Wolves have suffered just a further three defeats within their subsequent 11 games overall whilst also picking up four wins in the process including notable wins against Manchester City and Tottenham, both by 2-1 margins and both on home soil at Molineux.

However, results away from home continue to be a major concern for O'Neil and his side as the visitors have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 16 outings on the road along with being handed 11 defeats along the way, so the likelihood of a Wolves win here does seem slim at best, but goals have featured as seven of Wolves' last 10 games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals.
