West Ham United welcome Wolves to the London Stadium on Friday evening as they look to get back to winning ways.

The Hammers fell to a 4-2 penalty shootout defeat against Leeds on Sunday, knocking Nuno Espirito Santo’s side out of the FA Cup at the quarter-final stage.

In the Premier League, West Ham are winless since early March, having lost 2-0 to Aston Villa on the eve of the international break.

On the other side, visitors Wolves embarked on their best run of the season thus far, with wins against Aston Villa and Liverpool, followed by a draw with Brentford.

Sitting precariously at the bottom of the standings, Nuno’s former club are looking to end what has been a dismal season on a high, while the Irons are desperate to make use of the opportunity and climb out of the bottom three.

How to watch West Ham vs Wolves

With the Premier League paused for the FA Cup over Easter weekend, it will have been almost three weeks since both sides were last involved in league action by the time they lock horns on Friday.

Nuno’s side will be desperate to bounce back from Sunday’s disappointment, while Wolves’ respective form somewhat goes out of the window given the extended break.

Fans not in attendance on Friday will be able to catch the encounter via Sky Sports and their host of football channels.

Alongside the live showing on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, the option is there to stream the match via the Sky Go app.

Live audio commentary will also be available in the UK on TalkSPORT and West Ham’s official channels.

Wolves will provide a stern test despite table position

Despite Wolves being locked to the bottom of the Premier League standings, they remain a tough test for West Ham, representing somewhat of a banana skin.

Back in January, the Black Country outfit picked up their first win of what had been a dismal year to that point, against none other than West Ham.

Goals from Jhon Arias, Hwang Hee-chan and Mateus Mane saw Rob Edwards earn three points for the first time since his November appointment, while announcing young Mane to the rest of the league.

Since then, Wolves have continued to look much more competitive under Edwards, highlighted by the recent derby win against Aston Villa and late triumph against Liverpool.

Though the Hammers will still be the favourites on home soil, and simply must use the fixture as a springboard, with relegation rivals Leeds welcoming the basement club to Elland Road just a week later.

The Old Gold represent a tougher test than initially expected, but it is still one that the Irons are expected to come away from unscathed.
