Wolves head to the London Stadium tonight with history in their sights, aiming to secure a rare league double over West Ham. Despite their position at the foot of the table, the mood in the camp has been transformed by a resilient run of form, losing just four times in their last 13 matches under manager Rob Edwards.

That resurgence was highlighted by a dominant 3-0 victory over the Hammers at Molineux earlier this season. To pull off another crucial win and climb closer to safety, they'll need to replicate that clinical edge, having scored exactly two goals in each of their last three league games.

Team news is largely positive for the visitors, with the squad nearing full fitness at a pivotal time. The only outfield concern is Matt Doherty, who is sidelined with a minor issue. His absence could open the door for Tolu Arokodare to start after the striker found the net off the bench in the last outing.

In goal, José Sá will continue as the last line of defense, with Sam Johnstone's shoulder injury likely keeping him out for the remainder of the campaign. The midfield battle will be key, with the industrious João Gomes—who has won possession a remarkable 164 times this season—tasked with disrupting West Ham's flow and sparking counter-attacks.

Up front, the in-form partnership of Adam Armstrong and Arokodare, responsible for six recent goals, will carry Wolves' main threat. Expect a disciplined, counter-attacking setup from Edwards as they look to frustrate the home side and seize their moments.

Wolves Predicted XI (3-5-2): Sá; Mosquera, S. Bueno, Krejci; Tchatchoua, J. Gomes, Andre, Mané, H. Bueno; Armstrong, Arokodare

The Premier League action kicks off at the London Stadium tonight (Friday) at 20:00 BST. UK viewers can catch all the buildup and live coverage on Sky Sports Premier League from 19:00 BST.
