Wolves will attempt to win for the first time in the Premier League this season against a West Ham United side who have not won away from home since August. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes going into Saturday's meeting at Molineux.

The first Premier League side in history to concede 40 goals or more by the midway point of consecutive seasons, their 29 points in 38 Premier League matches in 2025 give them the worst points-per-game ratio (0.76) in a full calendar year of Premier League football since Huddersfield Town in 2018 (23 in 37 outings, 0.62).

Wolves appeared emboldened when Ruben Amorim turned to his bench for fresh legs and brought on 20-year-old Leny Yoro, the most experienced outfield player available, and 17-year-old debutant Bendito Mantato. Moments later, Jhon Arias saw a dangerous shot from 20 yards deflected marginally wide by Dalot’s perfectly-timed sliding block.

On the positive side, Manchester United finish 2025 in 6th place in the Premier League table, but the downside is that a win over last-place Wolves would have put them 4th instead.

The 54-year-old has a tough task ahead of him at Wolves, but those who know him believe he is more than well-equipped

Manchester United will be confident of seeing off Wolves again after already thrashing them earlier in December.
