West Ham United will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at the London Stadium this Saturday evening as they look to return to winning ways in the Premier League. The Hammers suffered a poor 1-0 loss away at Everton before the international break, so they would be desperate to put in a much-improved showing versus Wolves this weekend.
David Moyes will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game in front of the West Ham supporters. Hence, we can expect to see Michail Antonio lead the charge for the East London club once again in the final third.
4-2-3-1 West Ham United Predicted Lineup Vs Wolves
Defence
Łukasz Fabiański will play in between the sticks for the Hammers after he conceded a goal against the Toffees in his last league outing. Kurt Zouma will resume his defensive partnership with Thilo Kehrer at the heart of the West Ham backline as they look to stop Wolves from finding the back of the net during the 90 minutes.
Vladimír Coufal will operate at right-back while Aaron Cresswell fills in on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.
Emerson Palmieri will offer cover for the left-back spot on the bench. However, Ben Johnson will definitely miss this contest because of a thigh injury.
Midfield
Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek will assume the duties of the holding midfielders as they look to offer decent protection for their teammates at the back.
The gifted trio of Pablo Fornals, Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen will play just ahead of them as part of Moyes’ attack. Both Fornals and Bowen will be responsible for creating some clear-cut chances from the wide areas.
Said Benrahma will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his opportunity to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if needed.
Attack
Michail Antonio will spearhead West Ham United’s attack in the final third. The English forward has to figure out a way to cause a few problems for the Wolves centre-halves this weekend.
Gianluca Scamacca will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if the Hammers are in need of a goal by then.
