Wolverhampton Wanderers are 13th in the Premier League table, and have struggled this season. Nuno Espirito Santo's side have missed star striker Raul Jimenez for a major portion of the season due to injury, and his absence has been clearly felt.
West Ham United, on the other hand, are 5th in the league table. Manager David Moyes has earned praise for his side's consistent performances, with the likes of Jesse Lingard, Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice all performing well.
The Hammers look dangerous and should be able to beat an inconsistent Wolves side.
