Preview

West Ham responded well after going behind in the 19th minute on Saturday as a first-half own goal proved enough to earn a point at Vicarage Road. The London club are winless in three league outings since returning to the second tier for the first time since 2011/12.

Wolves produced the perfect response after going 1-0 down inside two minutes against Stoke on Saturday afternoon as Rodrigo Gomes' four-minute brace inspired a dominant 4-1 win at Molineux. Cesar Peixioto's side have won four and drawn one of their five competitive fixtures this term.
