West Ham XI vs Wolves: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and latest injuries for Premier League clash

David Martin will keep his place after his dream West Ham debut at Chelsea on Saturday.

Lukasz Fabianski is not expected to return until after Christmas but 33-year-old third-choice Martin has shown West Ham have a safe pair of hands until the Pole returns.

With just four days to prepare after Saturday’s win 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, Manuel Pellegrini could bring back Sebastien Haller for Michail Antonio.

Pellegrini will also be wary of overloading Mark Noble ahead of the busy festive period. The West Ham skipper has played twice against Tottenham and Chelsea since suffering an ankle injury at Burnley last month.

Issa Diop is back from suspension but Angelo Ogbonna is likely to continue alongside Fabien Balbuena following his solid display at Stamford Bridge.

Manuel Lanzini is still three or four weeks away from returning to training after his fracturing his collarbone last month.

Possible West Ham XI (4-2-3-1): Martin; Fredericks, Balbeuna, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice, Noble; Fornals, Anderson, Snodgrass; Haller.
