West Ham United will be at home to host Wolverhampton Wanderers as the Premier League’s Project Restart takes shape. Going to the game, West Ham have 27 points and in 16th place, while Wolves have 43 points and in seventh place. Hosts West Ham are playing for survival in the league and each of their next few matches mean everything to them. They are just above the drop zone on goal difference. On the other hand, Wolves have their eyes on a Champions League spot and it seems achievable for them. They are five points off fourth placed Chelsea. West Ham go to this game on a really poor form, having won just one of their last 10 matches across all competitions. At the time the league was interrupted, they had lost to Arsenal right after beating Southampton 3-1. West Ham have three wins in the last 15 league matches, and have lost 10 of those. In their last five matches before the break, West Ham had not managed a clean sheet and had conceded at least twice in three of the five matches. They had however done fairly well at home in the league, with two wins, two draws and one loss, and failing to score in just one of those. They have two wins in friendly matches and that should be a good boost towards this match.

As for Wolves, it has so far been a good season by their standards, this being their second season in the top flight since getting promoted back. In their last eight matches, Wolves have lost just one game, but they have managed only three wins. They have one clean sheet in the last five matches but have not lost in their last five league matches. Wolves have recorded clean sheets in four of their last five league matches but have also failed to score in three. They have a run of three unbeaten matches in the league away from home, winning two and drawing the other, which should give them the needed confidence here. They however have just one clean sheet in the last five away matches. Wolves have three straight wins in this fixture and have clean sheets in all three.
