West Ham United desperately need their first Championship victory of the season when in-form Wolves visit the London Stadium on Tuesday night.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have collected just two points from their opening three league games, while Wolves arrive unbeaten after taking seven points from nine.
However, West Ham’s remarkable recent home record against Wolves gives the Hammers reason for optimism.
West Ham vs Wolves prediction
Wolves enter the game in considerably better form.
César Peixoto’s side thrashed Stoke City 4-1 on Saturday and have now gone five matches unbeaten in all competitions. Sky Sports’ form guide shows Wolves have scored 14 goals across those five games.
West Ham were far less convincing in their 1-1 draw at Watford, but Nuno has received some positive news.
Pablo Felipe is available again, while Wolves confirm Tomáš Souček is West Ham’s only current injury absentee.
New signing Edvin Austbø could also feature after completing his move from Viking.
There is another major reason to believe West Ham can respond.
The Hammers have dominated this fixture at home in recent years, winning their last six meetings with Wolves in east London.
