Wolverhampton Wanderers v West Ham UnitedPremier League, Molineux, Saturday 6 April 2024, 15:00 BST
West Ham United continue their 2023/24 Premier League season with a trip to the West Midlands to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon.
After a 1-1 draw with local rivals Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium on Tuesday night, the Hammers will return to winning tactics in arguably their most vital run of matches in the race for European qualification.
Three problems on Saturday would also deal a blow to their opponents’ hopes of securing continental competition, with Gary O’Neil’s men dropping three points of late, seventh-placed West Ham having played a game less.
The Irons will claim the Premier League double against Wolves, having comfortably won the opposite fixture 3-0 at the London Stadium in December, where a brace from Mohammed Kudus and a goal from Jarrod Bowen sealed the points.
Wolves drew against relegation-threatened Burnley on Tuesday night and are on a three-game winless run in all competitions of late, including a 3-2 FA Cup defeat at the Coventry EFL Championship.
West Ham enthusiasts claim that the Club’s allocation of 3,012 tickets has been exhausted.

Wolverhampton Wanderers could welcome injured duo Hwang Hee-chan and former Hammer Craig Dawson on Saturday, while Jean-Ricner Bellegarde will remain absent due to a knock with Pedro Neto, who will be unavailable after suffering a hamstring injury.
Alphonse Areola may still be out of the Hammers after missing Tuesday night’s draw against Tottenham due to a groin injury. Nayef Aguerd will also be unavailable for this match due to a shoulder problem and will be assessed ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash.
When Gary O’Neil replaced Julen Lopetegui at Molineux as head coach last summer, no-one was sure what to expect. As considerations circulated about his monetary situation, O’Neil hired to bring some stability.
Lopetegui’s nine-month stay in the Midlands ended in a groan after he reached a “separation agreement” on the eve of the new Premier League season, despite the change of course at Wolves. They were at the back of the table when the Spaniard picked up pace from his first adjustment on Boxing Day 2022 and finished the crusade in 13th place.
This season, however, former AFC Bournemouth manager O’Neil has capitalised on that promise, turning his expectations of a relegation war in the Premier League into a genuine option for European football.
After a crisis that saw experienced names such as Rúben Neves, Diego Costa, Adama Traore, Nathan Collins, Raul Jimenez and Matheus Nunes leave Molineux for a combined total of more than £100m, many would have feared the worst.
But their respective departures have provided opportunities for others, and they’ve taken all the credit for them. A new frontline built around Hwang Hee-chan has seen Atletico Madrid’s summer signing Matheus Cunha flourish on the wing, while the return of Matt Doherty and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde has brought stability in defence.
The season didn’t start very well for Saturday’s hosts, but Wolves picked up impressive wins against Manchester City, while also completing doubles in the Premier League against Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
Wolves have 8 Premier League games remaining, adding home games against Bournemouth, Luton Town and Crystal Palace. They will be looking to take advantage of that window of opportunity and, after suffering a 3-0 defeat in the opposite fixture in December, be eager to get revenge.

West Ham United will face Wolverhampton Wanderers for the sixteenth time in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon; a run of matches that began in August 2009 when Mark Noble and Matthew Upson gave the Hammers a 2–0 victory.
The all-time standings at this festival are lately tied: the team won seven times and only one draw. The overall record across all festivals obviously favours the Hammers with 34 wins, while Wolves won 24 times and drew 14.
West Ham have won five of the last seven Premier League games, adding a 3-0 win in the opposite fixture at the London Stadium in December, Wolves reeling off 4 wins in a row against the Hammers in 2018/19 and 2019. 20, winning all 4 games without conceding a goal.
Wolverhampton and West Ham seem to be experiencing periods of dominance in this specific game, with the team winning to nil in nine of the last ten matches.
The Irons’ most notable result in the Premier League against Wolves was our 4-0 win over them at the London Stadium in September 2020.
Prior to that, the Hammers had managed two 5-0 top-flight wins over Wolves in the old First Division, with Bobby Moore scoring victories at the Boleyn Ground in December 1960 and September 1964.
