Wolves predicted lineup vs West Ham - Premier League

Wolverhampton Wanderers host a fiercely in-form West Ham United outfit in the midst of the longest winning run of any Premier League team currently.

Crystal Palace convincingly ended Wolves' burst of positive results from mid-September onwards before the international break, but Bruno Lage's side have won their last two Premier League matches on home soil - as many as in their previous nine outings at Molineux.

Here's the XI Lage may select to secure the club's third consecutive top flight victory at home for the first time since 1980.

Wolves predicted lineup vs West Ham - Premier League

1. Goalkeeper & defenders

Jose Sa (GK) - Given the blessing of the last Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme to take the number one shirt (after it was charitably passed over by Rui Patricio and John Ruddy following Ikeme's leukemia diagnosis) Sa has swiftly settled into his new surroundings.

Max Kilman (CB) - Ironically enough for a former member of England's national futsal team, Kilman's first ever Premier League goal was a header in his club's last home match.

Conor Coady (CB) - Since promotion in 2018, no outfield player has racked up more Premier League minutes than the Wolves captain (11,129) - a tally is his set to add to come Saturday.

Romain Saiss (CB) - The final cog in a back-three that has started each of Lage's first 11 league games at the helm, Saiss hasn't offered any reason to change a defence that only three teams in the division can better (by goals conceded).

2. Midfielders & wingbacks

Nelson Semedo (RWB) - Part of the litany of Portugal nationals peppered throughout the playing and coaching staff at Wolves, Semedo made his Premier League debut against West Ham (though that ended in a 4-0 drubbing).

Joao Moutinho (CM) - The Premier League's oldest outfielder (35) to have appeared in each of the opening 11 matches of the season 'has five more years to play', according to his manager.

Ruben Neves (CM) - Back to dovetailing with his experienced compatriot, Neves has crept slightly up the pitch this season - though remains strictly averse to entering the opposition penalty area.

Rayan Ait Nouri (LWB) - While Jonny Castro Otto is still some way off a long awaited return, and with Fernando Marcal a doubt for Saturday, Lage is likely to once again turn to his French 20-year-old.

3. Forwards

Francisco Trincao (RW) - Only two Premier League players have fired off more shots without finding the net than the Barcelona-loanee who has seen 18 efforts, including seven on target, rebuffed.

Raul Jimenez (ST) - Still yet to recover the clinical edge that defined his first two campaigns in old gold (and understandably so considering his plight), Jimenez remains a key facet of Wolves' attack.

Hwang Hee-chan (LW) - West Ham's Lukasz Fabianski has the chance to become the first goalkeeper to save a Premier League shot from Wolves' top scorer, who has netted with all four of his efforts on target - in stark contrast to Trincao.
