4543
We have several matches taking place on the 14th of January in the English Premier League including the meeting between Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United.
The game will be played at Molineux Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend in 19th place on 14 points while the visitors are in 17th place on 15 points.
Wolves come into the match on the back of a penalty shootout defeat at Nottingham Forest in the League Cup quarter final.
Having fallen a goal behind in the first half, Wolves equalised in the second period and that saw the game go to penalties. However, it was Nottingham Forest who booked their place in the semi-final.
Despite losing the tie on penalties, the 1-1 draw means Wolves are undefeated in their last 3 fixtures in all competitions.
All 3 games have ended level and in addition to the draw at Nottingham Forest in the League Cup, Wolves held Aston Villa to a 1-1 draw away in the Premier League and Liverpool to a 2-2 draw at Anfield in the FA Cup.
Trends show Wolves have not lost in 5 of their last 6 games in all competitions but have won only 3 of their last 25 Premier League matches. Wolves have lost their last 4 home Premier League games and have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 6 home league matches.
West Ham travel to Molineux Stadium having picked up a 1-0 win at Brentford in the FA Cup last weekend. The only goal of the game was scored in the 79th minute and The Hammers booked their place in the fourth round of the competition.
That win at Brentford in the FA Cup was the first victory for West Ham in their last 7 competitive fixtures in all competitions. They have won only 1 of their 4 games following the World Cup and there have been defeats at Arsenal and at home against Brentford in the Premier League.
Trends show West Ham have failed to win any of their 6 most recent Premier League fixtures and they have lost 5 of those games. West Ham have been struggling on the road and they have recorded only 1 win from their last 10 away league matches, losing 7 of those games.
Team news and Wolves continue without injured forward Pedro Neto. They also have doubts over the fitness of midfielder Boubacar Traoré.
West Ham make the trip without the injured trio of Gianluca Scamacca, Alphonse Areola, and Kurt Zouma. They also have doubts over the fitness of Manuel Lanzini, Vladimir Coufal, and Maxwel Cornet.
This is a huge game at the bottom of the table and we expect see both teams scoring. Wolves have shown some signs of improvement under the guidance of Julen Lopetegui and it could be hosts who come out on top by a single goal margin.
