Match Facts
West Ham have won their last three Premier League home games against Wolves, their longest winning run against them in league competition since their first eight such meetings between 1920 and 1961.
Having won their first four Premier League games against West Ham following their return to the division in 2018, Wolves have now lost four of their last six against them (W2).
Wolves are without a win in their previous 10 Premier League games played on a Sunday (D3 L7), while on the road they’ve lost their last six such games.
Since a 2-0 win over Sheffield United in September, West Ham are without a clean sheet in their last nine league games, conceding 20 goals during that time; they last went 10 games in the competition without a clean sheet in May 2021.
Wolves are without a win in their previous 13 Premier League away games in London (D3 L10), losing each of the last four; they last endured a longer such losing run in the top-flight between September 2010 and November 2011 (6 games).
David Moyes’ next defeat in the Premier League will be the outright most for a manager in the competition (239), against Wolves, though, he’s only lost one of his eight home Premier League games (W5 D2), losing 2-0 in June 2020 with the Hammers.
Only Brighton, Liverpool and Tottenham (all 16) have scored in more different Premier League games this season than Wolves (15). Indeed, the last time they failed to score in the competition was their opening game against Manchester United in August.
Jarrod Bowen has scored nine goals in 15 Premier League appearances for West Ham this season; should he score against Wolves, he’d be the second-quickest Hammers player to 10 Premier League goals in a season, after John Hartson in 1997-98 (15th appearance), though just two of Bowen’s nine in 2023-24 have come at home.
Wolves (21/21) are one of only two sides in the Premier League this season who have seen 100% of their goals come from inside the penalty area, along with Crystal Palace (15/15). Indeed, only Sheffield United (37) and Luton (31) have conceded more goals inside the penalty area in the division this season than West Ham (27).
Matheus Cunha is just the fourth different Wolves player to either score (3) or assist (2) in five successive Premier League appearances, after Hwang Hee-chan in November 2023, Steven Fletcher in August 2011 and Henri Camara in May 2004 (7 games). Indeed, it’s as many goal involvements as he recorded in his first 28 games in the competition (4 goals, 1 assist).
