Wolves have put some distance between themselves and the drop zone, and with survival looking more secure, they’ll aim to unleash some attacking flair when they welcome West Ham on Tuesday.
Before the international break, Vitor Pereira’s squad dug deep for a gritty 2-1 victory over struggling Southampton, with Jorgen Strand Larsen delivering both goals in a crucial win.
That result gave Wolves a comfortable cushion above the bottom three, and at this point, it would take a dramatic collapse — paired with a remarkable resurgence from Leicester and Ipswich — for them to be dragged back into the relegation scrap.
Meanwhile, West Ham may sit just one place above Wolves in the table, but their eight-point lead gives them a bit more breathing room. Graham Potter, however, is still searching for consistency, having managed just three wins in his nine Premier League games at the helm.
The Hammers missed out on an extra two points before the break after conceding a stoppage-time equalizer in a frustrating 1-1 draw at Everton.

Wolves vs. West Ham predicted lineups, team news
Wolves will have to make do without Matheus Cunha for two more matches as he serves his suspension, while attacking options remain thin with Enso Gonzalez, Leon Chiwome, and Sasa Kalajdzic all sidelined for Tuesday’s clash.
With that in mind, Vitor Pereira is likely to stick with the same front three that delivered against Southampton—Jorgen Strand Larsen, Marshall Munetsi, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde should once again lead the charge.
At the back, Matt Doherty, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Toti Gomes could hold down the fort in central defense, especially with Yerson Mosquera out until August. The trio will likely form the defensive shield in front of midfield duo Andre and Joao Gomes as Wolves look to keep things steady on home turf.
Wolves predicted XI (3-4-2-1, right to left): Sa (GK) — Doherty, Agbadou, T Gomes — Semedo, J Gomes, Andre, Nouri — Munetsi, Bellegarde — Larsen.
Injured: Enso Gonzalez, Leon Chiwome, Sasa Kalajdzic.
Suspended: Matheus Cunha.
West Ham will have to navigate Tuesday’s showdown without strikers Michail Antonio and Niclas Füllkrug, who remain sidelined with injuries. Adding to the Hammers’ attacking woes, Crysencio Summerville is also unavailable.
With options up front limited, Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen are expected to form an improvised strike partnership, with midfield maestros Lucas Paquetá, James Ward-Prowse, and Tomáš Souček providing support just behind them.
At the back, the trio of Jean-Clair Todibo, Konstantinos Mavropanos, and Max Kilman are the likeliest picks to stand guard in front of shot-stopper Alphonse Areola, as West Ham look to keep things tight at the back.
West Ham predicted XI (3-5-2, right to left): Areola (GK) — Todibo, Mavropanos, Kilman — Wan-Bissaka, Paqueta, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Emerson — Kudus, Bowen.
Injured: Michail Antonio, Niclas Füllkrug, Crysencio Summerville.
Suspended: None.
