To describe West Ham United’s meeting with Wolves on Friday as a must-win would be quite the statement.
If West Ham have any hope of staying in the Premier League this season, they simply have to claim three points against the division’s bottom side.

How can he save his West Ham career?
This really is make or break for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side. West Ham are currently slight favourites for relegation this season, but a positive result would see them plunge bitter rivals Tottenham into the bottom three.

West Ham vs Wolves latest team news
Several of West Ham’s key players are expected to be fit in a major boost for Nuno.
Indeed, all of Crysencio Summerville, Mads Hermansen, Jean-Clair Todibo, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Adama Traore, Axel Disasi and Konstantinos Mavropanos were pictured training before the game.
Alphonse Areola and Callum Wilson were not seen training earlier this week, though that clearly doesn’t mean they won’t be involved.
Wolves, meanwhile, are likely to be without Enso Gonzalez. Sam Johnstone has been carrying a knock.
West Ham vs Wolves prediction
West Ham’s reasonably good run of form since mid-January will count for nothing unless they win this. They have been building up to this point.
Winning this game alone won’t keep West Ham up but losing it could send them down.
Wolves aren’t the pushovers they were only a few months ago, and supporters of a West Ham persuasion will not need reminding of what happened the last time these two met…
Still, West Ham have significantly improved since then and potentially having Summerville back is huge.
With that in mind, a home win does not feel out of the question.
Score prediction: West Ham 2-1 Wolves
