West Ham vs Wolves LIVE!

Jarrod Bowen struck twice as West Ham recorded their first Premier League win of the season with a 4-0 rout of Wolves at London Stadium.

David Moyes was not in attendance because of his positive coronavirus test and instead relaid instructions via assistant Alan Irvine - and whatever he Moyes said over the phone, it clearly worked.

So, David Moyes will not be in charge of the West Ham team tonight after his positive Covid-19 test.

His assistant Alan Irvine assumes control from the dugout but as the line-up shows, it is very much a case of executing Moyes setup and tactics.

Will that have an effect on the Hammers players tonight?

Semedo makes Wolves debut

Nelson Semedo makes his Wolves debut after completing his big-money switch from Barcelona this week.

The Portuguese slots in at right-back, meaning Adama Traore will be pushed further up the pitch to join Pedro Neto and Raul Jimenez in the three-man attack.

Team news coming up!

We're just moments away from the confirmed lineups for tonight's match at the London Stadium.

Stay tuned for all of the news and build-up ahead of kick-off.

David Moyes will know it will be do or die for his side if they end up on the losing side again to Wolves today.

The Hammers certainly didn't deserve to lose when they lost 2-1 at Arsenal last time out but are yet to pick up a point this season.

Moyes will know that the alarm bells will be ringing if they cannot get a result today, even if it is early days in a long Premier League season.

West Ham team news

West Ham are still on the hunt for their first Premier League win of the season and will have to get it without manager David Moyes if they are to take three points this afternoon.

Moyes, along with players Issa Diop and Josh Cullen, is having to self-isolate for 10 days following his positive test for coronavirus this week.

The Hammers have lost both their games in the league so far but, after a change of shape against Arsenal last weekend, were unfortunate to come away from the Emirates with nothing.

They host Wolves at the London Stadium on Sunday and, despite the two absent having contracted Covid-19, Irvine has a full squad to select from.

All that was lacking from the performance at Arsenal was a finishing touch, meaning aside from at the back where a change is required due to Diop's absence, Irvine will likely want to keep things going with the same side that took on the Gunners.
