Sunday, 27 February 2022
Kick-off is at 14h00
West Ham will be looking to get their top-four challenge back on track when they welcome Wolves to the London Stadium on Sunday, February 27.
David Moyes' side lost more ground to fourth-placed Manchester United with the 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle at the weekend.
The Hammers are unbeaten in their last three matches, but back-to-back draws have allowed the Red Devils to open up a four-point gap to fifth spot.

Moyes refused to fault his players' commitment against the Magpies, but felt they could have done with more creativity as well as showing more steel in defence.
"The work-rate is there, 100 per cent. There's no questioning anybody [in that regard]. If anyone questioned any of our players on their effort or commitment, I'd back the players up 100 per cent," the Scot said after Saturday's stalemate.
"But what we're lacking at the moment is being more creative on the ball, being correct on the ball, even doing the correct things defensively."
The Black Country club are making a late push for European football after beating Leicester 2-1 at Molineux on Sunday to record their sixth win in eight outings.

Wolves head coach Bruno Lage insists their fine form of late comes down to "hard work" and believes they can achieve "something special" this season as long as their standards don't drop.
"There are no secrets in football, we said to the boys before the game, there's no secret so we need to go again for 90 minutes," Lage said after the Foxes clash.
"We came from a good performance and a good week of training. We can do something special, but only if we continue to work. We analyse this game, look at the problems Leicester did to us, see what we can do better."
