The round 27 fixtures of the English Premier League wrap up on Sunday as West Ham United entertain Wolverhampton Wanderers at the London Stadium.
The hosts have dropped out of the top four as they played out back-to-back draws in their last two league fixtures. In-form Newcastle United equalized in injury time of the first half to take away a point from that game.
The visiting side suffered a 2-1 loss at Arsenal in their previous fixture as Jose Sa's own goal in the dying moments of the game helped the London club overturn Wolves' one-goal lead in the second half.

West Ham United vs Wolves Prediction
There are some injury concerns for the home side as Arthur Masuaku, Vladimir Coufal and Angelo Ogbonna, three key defenders, are sidelined for this game. Michail Antonio has not found the back of the net since New Year's Eve.
Wolves have scored 24 goals, less than a goal per game this season, but have scored 14 in their travels. They have the best dribbles per game ratio in the league, though most of them can be attributed to the current Barcelona star Adama Traore.
West Ham have lost steam in the race for the top four and Wolves might be able to take advantage of that.
