TEAMS PREVIEW

West Ham United FC Preview

Under Nuno Espírito Santo, the Hammers have only won seven of 31 games, leaving them stuck in the bottom three as we hit April. 

They can clearly find the back of the net, averaging 1.16 goals a game, but they just can't keep them out at the other end. Conceding 1.84 goals per game is a massive problem that Nuno hasn't quite fixed yet.

Looking at their last five outings, it’s a mixed bag. They scored six times, hitting two against Leeds and Brentford and picking up a gritty 1-0 win over Fulham, but they also fired blanks against Villa. 

The seven goals conceded in that time show that the defence is still a work in progress, even with Nuno trying to tighten things up. 

Jarrod Bowen of West Ham is the heart of this team. With 14 goal involvements this season, he is the most likely player to break the deadlock. If West Ham are going to win, it usually starts with him.

The injury list isn't helping. Crysencio Summerville and Łukasz Fabiański are out, and Jean-Clair Todibo is still sidelined with a calf issue until mid-month.

West Ham United (4-3-3): M. Hermansen; K. Walker-Peters, M. Kilman, A. Disasi, E. Diouf; S. Magassa, F. Potts, M. Fernandes; J. Bowen, V. Castellanos, Adama 

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

It’s been a season to forget so far, with just three wins and 20 defeats from 31 games, leaving them rock bottom. Their biggest issue is obvious is that they can’t score. With just 24 goals all season (0.77 per match), they have the worst attack in the league. Their defence hasn't been much better, shipping 1.74 goals per game.

In their last five matches, Wolves actually scored seven times, including a big win over Liverpool and a 2-0 victory against Villa. However, they were also shut out by Palace, proving they are still inconsistent. While Edwards has definitely made them more competitive since taking over in November, they still look shaky at the back. 

Adam Armstrong has scored 1 goal in 7 matches so far in the Premier League 2025/2026 season for Wolves. Moreover, Adam Armstrong's total G/A (goals + assists) is 3 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.47 per 90 minutes. His Non-Penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.14. This puts Adam Armstrong's npxG output at 0.90, which puts him in the top 60th percentile of Premier League players.

As for the squad, Enso González is out with a knee injury until late April. Since Jørgen Strand Larsen left for Palace in February, Edwards has had to rethink the attack. Expect Tolu Arokodare to lead the line, with Jhon Arias and Mateus Mané tasked with providing the creative spark. 

Wolverhampton Wanderers (3-5-2): J. Sá; L. Krejčí, S. Bueno, Y. Mosquera; H. Bueno, J. Gomes, André, J. Bellegarde, J. Tchatchoua; A. Armstrong, M. Mané 

WEST HAM UNITED FC vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS FC
Winning Prediction

West Ham are the favourites here, mainly because Wolves have been so poor on the road. Without González, Wolves look even thinner up front. It might be a messy, nervous game, but the Hammers should have enough to edge it.
