West Ham continue their search for a first Premier League win of the season at home to Wolves this afternoon.
The Hammers were unlucky to come away from the Emirates without a point last week, and though defeating Hull in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, they were dealt a blow with David Moyes, Issa Diop and Josh Cullen testing positive for coronavirus ahead of that match.
Assistant manager Alan Irvine has confirmed Moyes will still be in charge this weekend - although from the comfort of his own home.
They come up against a Wolves side with one league win from two after falling marginally short against Manchester City last time out.

West Ham vs Wolves is scheduled for a 7pm BST kick-off on Sunday, September 27.

Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Wolves
Though West Ham backed up an impressive performance against Arsenal with an even better result against Hull, they come up against a very dangerous Wolves side.
Man City were pushed all the way by a relentless Wolves side, who look as if they mean business once again ahead of another long campaign.
The Hammers are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, and with Diop out I'm anticipating a couple goals for the visitors at least.
