West Ham vs Wolves

Minute-by-minute report: Will the goal-shy clubs find their shooting boots in Saturday's late kick-off? Join Scott Murray.

The ball takes a huge deflection and drops to Ait-Nouri, free near the left-hand corner of the six-yard box. It’s tapped to Jonny, who attempts to release Semedo down the wing, but clumsily clanks out for a goal kick. Bowen enters the box and takes a shot. But his shot, from the left-hand corner of the six-yard box, bounces harmlessly across the face of goal and out for a goal kick. The ball balloons up off a defender and drops towards Bowen, just inside the box on the right. Kehrer’s clearance is dismal, the ball dropping to Traore on the edge of the D. 47 min: Ait-Nouri advances down the left and pulls back for Moutinho, who has time and space to shoot … Wolves try to respond immediately, winning a corner down the right, but when Guedes gets the ball at his feet, he dallies and the chance to shoot is gone. But he needs to get a level of fitness to get used to the Podence returns the ball with a whip towards the bottom left. He enters the box and aims a curler towards the top left. We suffered without the ball, we knew that, but we’re a tough group to break down, and you saw the chances we had on the break.

As for the team news, West Ham boss David Moyes makes three changes to the side that started the 1-0 defeat at Everton in Gameweek 8. There is a bit of interest from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective, at least, with some of the Hammers’ assets targets of Gameweek 8/9 Wildcarders due to their upcoming fixture run. The two lowest-scoring sides in the Premier League meet in east London in the final Premier League match of the day, a fixture that doesn’t scream ‘entertaining Saturday evening fare’ on paper.

West Ham vs Wolves: Two sides straddling either side of the relegation zone will be desperate for a victory when they meet at London Stadium on Saturday.

Raul Jimenez, meanwhile, has played just 211 minutes in three Premier League appearances (none since Aug. West Ham and Wolves both rank in the bottom five of the Premier League in expected goals with identical paltry 0.9 xG averages (per 90 minutes). Not so much a midfield muddle as a melee, Neves and Paqueta were kept from their creative best in order to snap into tackles, though Rice stepped forward to seize the day on several occasions Today we worked very hard and made a good victory.” We needed to win. Diego Costa flashes: The big, tempestuous veteran striker still knows where to be on the pitch and was just put off enough on a powerful header that went wide of the goal.

West Ham have Gianluca Scamacca leading the line for this evening's crucial Premier League game with Wolves.

Pablo Fornals drops to the bench as Maxwel Cornet is rewarded for some bright cameos off the bench, and he is preferred to Said Benrahma who is also among the substitutes. I think that is it about them all really.” “Ben Johnson has had a week and a half of training so he is closing in on fitness.

West Ham won 2-0 against Wolves with Gianluca Scamacca and Jarrod Bowen both finding the net as Bruno Lage admitted his team are "under pressure". Scamacca ...

This was a timely performance from Bowen, who caught the eye and looked like a player with a point to prove. Of course, Neves had the class and natural ability not to look out of place in the heart of the Wolves defence but an early booking - his fifth of the season - for a late challenge on Jarrod Bowen didn't help his cause - he now misses the next game against Chelsea. And, although it's probably too late for Max Kilman to make a late surge for the squad, the Wolves defender impressed playing down the left of a back three up against a dangerous attack. West Ham travel to Anderlecht in the Europa Conference League on Thursday at 5.45pm. This means the Wolves midfield will be without his ability to dictate a game yet again. West Ham always looked a threat when breaking up the visitors' possession game and Bowen came to the party for the first time this season on 54 minutes. He's just needed to get a level of fitness for the Premier League. I can say we are a different team when we have a striker. But it happened and we need to move on. In the first 30 minutes we had three good chances. It was a rare moment of worry for a West Ham backline that hardly broke a sweat. The £35.5m signing is off and running in the Premier League.
