West Ham United will be hoping to kickstart their season with a victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the London Stadium today.
Both sides have had difficult starts to their respective campaigns, with the two previously tipped to challenge for European places at the start of the season.
Wolves sit just two points above the relegation zone on six points, a place dwelled in by David Moyes’ Irons on four points alongside fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest and Leicester City.
The two have each only scored three goals in their opening seven matches and picked up one win.

Moyes’ men have won two out of two in their Europa Conference League campaign but have failed to score in the opening half of any game at all this league season.
They will hope to get Italian frontman Gianluca Scamacca firing into form as a match-filled October awaits domestically and on the continent.
Wolves have added Diego Costa to their ranks to help with Raul Jimenez out injured. He will compete with Goncalo Guedes and Hwang Hee-Chan for a starting berth.
Here is everything you need to know about West Ham United v Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The clash of the strugglers will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports HDR. Sky subscribers will also be able to access the game via the Sky Go app.
The match will kick off at 5:30 pm from the London Stadium, as the traditional Saturday teatime kick-off.
David Moyes will be without defenders Nayef Aguerd and Ben Johnson this afternoon, but will hope to see them return soon as they are in light training.

It is thought that Maxwel Cornet, who has impressed in patches, will displace Pablo Fornals out wide.
Bruno Lage confirmed that Costa would be in the squad for the battle against the Irons - however, they will be without Nathan Collins after he was sent off against Manchester City. Chiquinho and Sasa Kalajdzic are out for the long-term.
