Wolves got their league campaign on track by claiming a deserved point against champions Manchester City. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo made wholesale changes for their League Cup game on Tuesday night and expect the first-choice line-up to be back in action this Saturday.
Players have returned from injury, which will allow the Portuguese to select the eleven from a fully-fit squad. They will face a West Ham team which is yet to win a point this season.
Loan signing Leander Dendoncker will be available for selection and the Belgian started the League Cup tie to prove his fitness. We might see him in action this weekend in place of Ryan Bennett as captain Conor Coady and Willy Boly have done well for Wolves so far in central defence.
The Portuguese made some very good saves against Manchester City and conceded only one goal. He is certain to be back in goal after a midweek break.
The Belgian may start his first Premier League game this weekend ahead of Ryan Bennett, who has looked a bit circumspect at times.
The captain has been immense in central defence so far. Expect him to start most games to keep the solidity at the back.
Scored a controversial yet vital goal against Manchester City which earned them a point. Was defensively very sound against the champions. Boly looks to have settled down after a nervy first game versus Everton.
Doherty has been a good attacking outlet for the Wolves in wide areas, overlapping and delivering crosses into the box.
The experienced Portuguese was given a game off in midweek. He should be back in the midfield to control the proceedings.
The club’s talisman has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, and at such a young age, he is fulfilling them to perfection. He will be vital to what Wolves do this season.
Jonny hobbled off against City, so his availability is up for a toss. Nuno might not risk him and could start Vinagre instead.
The winger has shown enough promise to warrant a starting spot. He might as well have to improve his final product to really hurt teams.
He’s been a good signing for Wolves thus far, holding the ball up on the break and being a nuisance for the defenders. A sure starter.

The rapid winger has blown hot and cold in terms of his performance level so far. He now has the competition in the shape of Adama Traore. Hence, the Portuguese needs to add consistency to his game or the new signing might take his place sooner than later.
