If West Ham United score a win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, and other results fall the Hammers way, they could see themselves complete this weekend sitting sixth in the Premier League table. Not bad when you consider the ups and down that this campaign has brought so far. Other than Michail Antonio (still recovering from a knee problem), manager David Moyes has a fully fit squad to choose from.
So the Irons have got to like their chances tomorrow against Wolves.

Team News for Both Sides
As for the visitors, they have a list of potential absentees that runs four deep. Jonny is suspended here, not by the English Football Association, but due to internal discipline via the club. Meanwhile Joe Hodge is out with a shoulder injury while Rayan Ait Nouri (ankle) and Pedro Neto (thigh) are both doubts for this one.
And that covers the totality of the fitness situation for both sides.
