West Ham vs Wolves team news: Lopetegui and O’Neil name lineups for ‘El Sackico

Ready for the game that has been dubbed ‘El Sackico’ given the pressure on each manager’s shoulders, Julen Lopetegui and Gary O’Neil have named their lineups for tonight’s clash at London Stadium.

Both in desperate need of a win to buy more time to turn their clubs’ fortunes around, Lopetegui and O’Neil will be doing all they can to secure a positive result. West Ham are currently 14th despite being tipped for Europe before the start of the season, while Wolves are four points deep in the relegation zone.

Lopetegui knows Wanderers all too well from his time at Molineux and he’s named a lineup to counteract them, starting Jarrod Bowen as the main striker with Mohammed Kudus and Crysencio Summerville on the flanks. Former Wolves defender Max Kilman lines up in defence.

O’Neil has made three changes from Wolves’ embarrassing 4-0 defeat away at Everton, swapping in Nelson Semedo, Sam Johnstone and Toti Gomes for Craig Dawson, Jose Sa and Goncalo Guedes. Here are both teams in full.
