West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
West Ham United have not looked impressive under David Moyes, and much of the focus has been on the potential departure of star midfielder Declan Rice to Chelsea. The absence of Issa Diop could prove to be crucial, while Felipe Anderson and Sebastian Haller could get a chance up front.
Wolverhampton Wanderers announced the signing of Nelson Semedo from Barcelona a few days ago, and the right-back could start this game. Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore will have to be at their very best, now that key forward Diogo Jota has left the club for Liverpool.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have built a good squad, and have added strength and depth this season. They look the superior side, even though David Moyes could very well produce a trick or two of his own.
Prediction: West Ham United 1-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
