West Ham United failed to change the situation against Leicester City as they faced a 3-1 defeat in the Premier League. Their next challenge lies against Wolves at home this week and they will look to return to winning ways.
The Hammers are 14th on the points table and they cannot afford to keep dropping points so regularly. They need to do well against similar sorts of opponents to stay away from the regelation zone. It will be a good opportunity to do so.
4-2-3-1 West Ham United Predicted Lineup Vs Wolves
Defence
Lukasz Fabianski has been decent but he can surely do better. He will be operating between the sticks once again. Aaron Wan-Bissaka was surprisingly used as the left-back in the previous game buthe should return to his original right-back position.
Amid injuries don’t expect anyother centre-back duo other than Dinos Mavropanos and Max Kilman.Notably, Jean-Clair Todibo is also doubtfulto be available for participation. Emerson Palmieriis likely to walk back into the XI and field as the left-back.

Midfield
Edson Alvarez and Carlos Soler are likely to take the field as the midfielders once again. They will have the duty to control the tempo of the game.
Thomas Soucek isoperating as the attacking midfielder in the lineup, providing a bridge between the midfield and the attacking line.
Attack
JarrodBowen operating on the right wing with Mohammed Kudus taking care of the left flank.
Michail Antonio suffered a car incident but luckily, he is nowin a stable condition. As Danny Ings is doubtful for this fixture, Niclas Fullkrug should be ready to take up the duties of a striker. It will be interesting to see how he flairs under pressure.
