The football’s back! After a two week -plus wait, the Hammers are in action tonight away at Molineux against Wolverhampton wanderers. Graham Potter takes a mostly fit squad with Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio the only absentees. Niclas Fullkrug is back in the squad and Evan Ferguson is pushing for a start after featuring and scoring for Ireland during the international break.
Wolves lie one place below West Ham but eight points closer to the three sides in the relation zone, so will be pushing for another three tonight to ease any remaining religion worries.
Potter has to decide upon his set up – three at the back plus wing-backs has been favoured of late whilst considered by many to be excessively defensive: Let’s see what he announces tonight:
The team news is in. The side to play Wolves is confirmed: Changes to the ‘expected’ side – we hear Kudus took a knock in training. No Jean Clair Todibo either. Full debuts for loanee Ferguson and finally Luis Guilherme. Wolves certainly won’t have been expecting that!
West Ham United
Areola | Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Cresswell , Scarles, Ward Prowse, Paquetá, Guilherme, Bowen , Ferguson
Don’t forget to check back at the end of the game for Gonzo’s ‘player ratings’ and Martin’s final whistle – first impressions articles immediately after the game.
Com. On.You.Irons!
Guilherme has impressed Potter in training according to official website. The exact opposite of all the false reports that he hasn’t impressed Potter and will be sold in the summer. Only 19 years old. He’s served his apprenticeship. Let’s hope he takes his chance.
Hope Ferguson and Guilherme have a good first 45 minutes as they will probably be substituted during latter part.
They’ll be looking to impress to ensure being involved for rest of season.
Perhaps staying for 26/27 can only hope.
Surprised Mav has started in front of Todibo unless I have missed something.glad to see Ferguson and Guil get a start also we will never know what he has got sitting on the bench
Looks like a more attacking side on paper. Good luck to Guilherme and Ferguson. COYI
