Vitor Pereira can shock Wolves fans at 7pm by naming ‘excellent’ player in his XI vs West Ham
Wolves will be looking to pick up where they left off after the international break when West Ham visit Molineux in the Premier League.
Wolves beat Southampton 2-1 before the international break, sending them nine points clear of the bottom three, and now they’re looking to close the gap on West Ham.

The Old Gold are eight points behind the Hammers, who are just one position above them in the table, with it looking as though a 17th-place finish is the best they can hope for.
Ahead of the clash, Matheus Cunha’s comments about leaving Wolves have upset the fans, with the Brazilian’s potential exit dominating the headlines.
However, Vitor Pereira will also have a big decision to make regarding his team sheet and that could include a surprise start for one player.
Vitor Pereira could hand Goncalo Guedes a shock start against West Ham
Wolves came away from the South Coast with a vital 2-1 victory last time out and the starting lineup from that game shouldn’t be too dissimilar to the team fielded by Pereira against West Ham.
That being said, perhaps the Portuguese tactician will make one change in attack, dropping attacking midfielder Marshall Munetsi for Goncalo Guedes.
