England – Premier League | West Ham VS Wolverhampton; Sunday, 17 December at 22:00 GMT +8

West Ham, despite finishing 14th in the Premier League last year, has been performing well in Europe, winning the Europe Conference League title and securing a Europa League appearance. This season, they secured the 1/8 Finals of the competition and are a favorite to win the title. In the Premier League, they are currently 9th with 24 points in 16 games, five points away from Wolves.

Wolves have been a stable team in the Premier League since returning in 2018/19, consistently finishing between 7th and 13th place. However, the departure of key midfielders Matheus Nunes and Ruben Neves led to a poor start. Despite this, Wolves have since improved and are now in 13th place with 19 points in 16 rounds. It is predicted that Wolves will return to the middle of the league’s table.

David Moyes, the coach of Freiburg, expressed satisfaction with their 2:0 win and emphasized the importance of securing first place in the group to avoid two extra games in the Europa League knockout phase. He praised Edson Alvarez, who scored and assisted once but had to leave due to a minor injury. Michail Antonio, the only injured player, suffered a knee injury while playing for his national team and is expected to be sidelined for one or two weeks.

Mario Lemina, a key midfielder, has suffered a knee injury in the Nottingham game and is not expected to play against West Ham. Joseph Hodge and Pedro Neto will remain sidelined due to previous injuries, while Rayan Ait Nouri should be ready after missing three games with an ankle injury.
