Wolves face West Ham United on Saturday as they seek their first win of 2026.
Currently at the bottom of the table after a winless start, the atmosphere at Molineux has improved slightly following a spirited draw against Manchester United. Manager Rob Edwards aims to build on this momentum to avoid falling too far behind the 17th place team. He is likely to field a strong lineup to take advantage of West Ham’s recent defensive struggles.
Wolves Team News
Rob Edwards gets a boost in midfield with André returning from suspension. Santiago Bueno is expected to recover from an injury that sidelined him on Tuesday, allowing him to join Yerson Mosquera and Ladislav Krejci in defense. However, Toti Gomes and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde remain unavailable due to long-term injuries. Marshall Munetsi is not yet fit for the squad, even though he has started light training.
Wolves face challenges with squad depth because of international commitments. Emmanuel Agbadou is still with the Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations, while young winger Tawanda Chirewa is back after Zimbabwe’s exit from the tournament. Edwards will likely turn to Jorgen Strand Larsen and Tolu Arokodare to spearhead the attack, especially since Wolves have scored the fewest second-half goals in the league this season.
Wolves Predicted Lineup
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted XI: Sá; Mosquera, Doherty, Krejčí; Tchatchoua, Arias, J. Gomes, Mané, H. Bueno; Arokodare, Strand Larsen
