Julen Lopetegui has selected his West Ham starting XI for tonight’s clash with Wolves.

The West Ham starting XI chosen by Julen Lopetegui owe him a big performance, in spite of his obvious faults.

The Spaniard will lose his job if West Ham lose against Wolves tonight.

And Graham Potter and Michael Carrick are apparently leading the race to replace the beleaguered 58-year-old.

The Hammers have been absolutely woeful this season, and it’s a huge shock that Lopetegui is still at the London Stadium.

However, a win against Wolves tonight may well significantly change the narrative.

So how has Lopetegui set up his team?

West Ham starting XI vs Wolves confirmed

Nothing less than a comfortable win and a convincing performance will do from the players tonight.

We need to see so much more from all of them.

Our team should have more than enough to give any side a proper game on their day.

Here’s how Lopetegui has set up his team, as confirmed via the club’s official X account:

Lukasz Fabianski, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Emerson Palmieri, Max Kilman, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Edson Alvarez, Tomas Soucek, Carlos Soler, Crysencio Summerville, Jarrod Bowen, Danny Ings

So it seems as thought Kudus or Bowen will play through the middle as the main striker, and that’s a big call, with Danny Ings set to warm the bench yet again.

I want to see a fully committed performance from the boys tonight.

A high-octane display with real quality inside the final third will be the oder of the day.

However, is this team capable of putting in performances like that anymmore?

That remains to be seen.

What I do know is that the West Ham starting X selected by Julen Lopetegui should have mroe than enough about it to beat Wolves tonight.

I’m going for a 3-1 Hammers win.
