Premier League: Build up to West Ham United v Wolves

  • West Ham have won their last five Premier League home games against Wolves. Only against Blackburn (9 from 1996 to 2008), Middlesbrough (7 from 2000 to 2009), and Sunderland (6 from 2002 to 2010) have they won more consecutively in the competition.

  • Wolves are looking to complete the double over West Ham for the first time since 2019-20. Since their return to the Premier League in 2018, they’ve only beaten Southampton (9) more often in the division than they have the Hammers (8).

  • None of the last 16 Premier League meetings between West Ham and Wolves have been drawn, with both sides winning eight apiece. The Hammers have failed to score in all eight of those defeats.

  • West Ham have lost only one of their last six home Premier League games (W1 D4), collecting more points over that period (7) than in their first nine home matches of 2025-26 (6 – W2 L7).

  • Following a run of 11 successive defeats between October and December, Wolves have only lost four of their 13 matches in the Premier League since MD19 (W3 D6), with only Arsenal (11), Manchester City (11), and Brighton and Hove Albion (12) conceding fewer goals in that time than their 15.

  • Wolves have scored two goals in each of their last three Premier League games (W2 D1), netting just one fewer goal in total (6) than in their prior eight games (7); they last netted 2+ goals in more straight league games in November 2024 (run of five).

  • John McGinn’s opener for Aston Villa last time out was the 17th goal West Ham have conceded from set pieces in the Premier League this season (ex. penalties); no side has conceded more. Indeed, the Hammers have only conceded more in a single campaign in the competition in 2002-03 (18).

  • West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen has more Premier League goals against Wolves than he does against any other side (6), with five of his six goals coming in his last five home matches against them, netting in each of his previous three.

  • Both of João Gomes’ Premier League goal involvements this season have come in his last three games (1 goal, 1 assist), while only Elliot Anderson (259) has won possession more often than the Brazilian this term (164).

  • Tolu Arokodare’s equaliser for Wolves last time out against Brentford was Wolves’ fifth Premier League goal via a substitute under Rob Edwards, and eighth sub goal involvement overall; only Arsenal (9 goals, 16 goal involvements) and Fulham (7 goals, 10 goal involvements) have more since he joined the club.
