    The Hammers' starting XI has been posted on Twitter for more than 60 games in succession, including the four losses since West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini took charge, but the Chilean has more to worry about than a dressing room mole.

    "In every team I have managed, I work on set pieces the day before a match so all of the players know who will play and who won't," he said.

    "The players talk to other players but I'm not worried about that, I'm worried more about trying to win three points."

    The Hammers are bottom of the table and have conceded 10 goals, scoring two, in a pointless campaign so far.

    "It's not the first time I've had bad results. I am not worried about statistics," added Pellegrini, who led Manchester City to the 2013-14 title.

  3. 'It makes me very proud'published at 15:42 British Summer Time 16 September 2018

    Wolves 1-0 Burnley

    Wolves

    Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to Sky Sports: "I am very, very satisfied. We played good football and stayed organised and created chances. Burnley are a good side and stayed in it until the end.

    "If there is a 'but', we could be more clinical. But if we can continue to make these many chances, it makes me very proud.

    "After we scored we conceded more space. But this will come. We kept a clean sheet which is important for us. It is there. It will come naturally.

    On facing Manchester United next: "Now we will rest then focus. It will be a tough game but we will enjoy it. We will go there to compete like we always do."

  4. 'Positive start for Marco Silva'published at 15:41 British Summer Time 16 September 2018

    I think Everton’s start to the season has been pretty decent, they have gone unbeaten into the international break – a win and three draw with what is relatively the same players Everton had last season.

    Richarlison has obviously been introduced but to have gone this far with the team changing the mentality, they are on the front foot, they are creating chances, they are scoring goals. And he’s still got three or four, maybe even five players he has signed in the summer in the back ready to bring in as time goes by. It’s been a relatively positive start for Marco Silva.

  5. 'I was already celebrating'published at 15:38 British Summer Time 16 September 2018

    Wolves 1-0 Burnley

    Wolves

    Wolves defender and man of the match Matt Doherty speaking to Sky Sports: "I don't know how many clear-cut chances we had but it felt like a lot. 1-0 is a generous score-line. We could have had more but we kept a clean sheet and I'm pleased with the result.

    On his missed opportunity: "In my head I was already celebrating before it went into the net. It could have cost us but it didn't fortunately.

    "We played pretty similarly against West Ham. The manager said that was the standard we needed to set."

  6. 'We need to be real with each other'published at 15:37 British Summer Time 16 September 2018

    Burnley

    Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart speaking to Sky Sports: "We took a bit of a battering. Wolves were really on it. We have a lot more to come and a lot more to do. It is what it is so we need to look at ourselves in the mirror and keep going.

    "There is a real buzz around the place [at Wolves]. We need to focus on us. We need to get back to the Burnley that was here before me - the team that nobody wanted to play.

    "The past is the past. We have to live in this squad and move forward.

    On his performance: "I am in this game for team wins and team performances. I am fed up of talking to be honest. I just love the game. We have to move forward from this.

    "We need to be real with each other. We have good quality and good desire. We have good spirit we just have to start translating it."

  7. Lawro's predictionpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 16 September 2018

    Ex-Liverpool defender and BBC football expert

    West Ham are the only top-flight team without a point this season and their manager Manuel Pellegrini has got a few things to sort out right through his team.

    Defensively, the Hammers are abysmal. They were so, so open against Wolves and they have been the same in every other game.

    Without changing the personnel - as in going to get some more players - I can't see what they are possibly going to do to change that.

    Meanwhile, Everton are still unbeaten and have been playing all right but will feel they have dropped points - in their home draw with Huddersfield last time out, or away at Wolves, for example.

    I think they will win on Sunday but there are much tougher tests to come.

    Prediction: 2-1

  8. 'Great experience to score at home'published at 15:34 British Summer Time 16 September 2018

    Wolves 1-0 Burnley

    Wolves

    Wolves goalscorer Raul Jimenez speaking to Sky Sports: "It is a great experience to score here in our home. We worked hard to get three points. Now we are here with that win.

    "Before all matches I imagine that I am going to score. It is my thinking as a striker. Sometimes it goes like this."

    On facing Manchester United next: "It is a great night for us. We are looking forward and will do our best to win the match. We have to enjoy this win. Tomorrow we will focus on the next match."

  10. 'A huge opportunity for both sides'published at 15:29 British Summer Time 16 September 2018

    Both teams should be seeing this one as a huge opportunity.

    For Everton, to maintain their unbeaten start under Marco Silva, against a team that seems to be struggling to adapt to their own new manager. For West Ham, to get their first points under Manuel Pellegrini, against hosts who'll be missing a raft of regulars.

    It is surely too soon to be discussing the Chilean's future, but if it comes to five defeats to start the season for the first time in the Hammers' history, the sound of alarm bells will be deafening.

    It's Pellegrini's 65th birthday on Sunday. His 66th year starts with Premier League games against Chelsea and Manchester United.

    Burnley are one point off the bottom of the table. The only team below them, West Ham, are up next this afternoon when they face Everton at Goodison Park.

    We'll start looking forward to that one, as well as bringing you all the reaction from Molineux.

    That will do nicely for Wolves fans. They had drawn their opening two home games this season so a first home victory back in the top flight.

    Joe Hart made several good saves, otherwise Wolves’ margin could have been more comfortable. The warning signs are going off for Burnley, four losses in a row.

  15. FULL-TIMEpublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 16 September 2018

    Wolves 1-0 Burnley

    Wolves have their first home win in the Premier League this season. Joe Hart's heroics in the first half could do nothing to prevent them eventually taking the lead.

    Raul Jimenez' side-footed effort the only difference on paper but Wolves thoroughly deserved a win.

    A nice little turn from Adama Traore but he's tackled by James Tarkowski. Burnley try to create an attack but Ashley Westwood launches the ball out for a throw-in.

    Adama Traore is up against Ben Mee one-on-one. He beats him, steps inside and lays it off for Leo Bonatini.

    Wolves 1-0 Burnley

    Johann Berg Gudmundsson's free-kick is a good one but Wolves get it clear. Burnley fire it back into the middle and Gudmundsson is following up on the edge of the box.

    He shoots but it's a poor effort and another easy save for Rui Patricio.
