Over their last five fixtures at home, West Ham have drawn all five games: 2-2 versus Leeds United, 1-1 against Manchester City, 2-2 with Brentford, 0-0 facing AFC Bournemouth, and 1-1 against Manchester United.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, meanwhile, have had a mixed run away from home in recent weeks. Their last five away matches include a 2-2 draw at Brentford, a narrow 1-0 win at Grimsby Town in a cup competition, a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest, and defeats at Crystal Palace (1-0) and Manchester City (2-0). Wolves have shown moments of competitiveness but also inconsistency, struggling especially against strong opponents. This game presents an opportunity to improve their away record and pick up crucial points.
