Jiménez and Jota lead two-man Wolves front-line as Traoré named on bench

Nuno Espirito Santo has gone with the same 3-5-2 formation used in their last Premier League match as they prepare to face West Ham.

That means starts in the front-line for Raúl Jiménez (£8.1m) and Diogo Jota (£6.4m) at the London Stadium.

However, the reduced number of wide options in the 3-5-2 system has resigned Adama Traoré (£5.7m) to the substitutes’ bench.

Matt Doherty (£6.3m) provides the width on the right, while Jonny (£5.4m) flanks the midfield on the other side.

Meanwhile, West Ham are without Angelo Ogbonna (£4.5m) and first-choice centre-forward Sebastien Haller (£6.8m).

That could be good news for those invested in the Wolves defence, Doherty and Romain Saïss (£4.6m) the most popular in that department, owned by 9.2% and 4.0% respectively.

That said, Michail Antonio (£6.9m), who has been asked to spearhead the attack, is likely to be a physical handful.

He is supported by an attacking midfield of Felipe Anderson (£6.6m), Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.5m).

Tomas Soucek (£4.9m) is back in the frame the Hammers, paired in central midfield with Mark Noble (£5.0m).

Elsewhere, Ogbonna’s injury means Declan Rice (£4.7m) drops into central defence.

West Ham United XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Rice, Diop, Ngakia; Soucek, Noble; Anderson, Fornals, Bowen; Antonio.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-5-2): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez.

      Other than Aguero and Maupay, has any striker scored more than just appearance points so far?

        This has been a truly awful day for my team. Leno, Jota, Auba.

        KDB Salah Son Fernandes Sarr

        Is that too template as a WC midfield? It just feels so good to look at

        1. Dybala10
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Sarr instead of Barnes?

        1. JJO
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          No, The Hammers always up their game when playing Spurs

      11. One More Hit

        Really need West ham to score

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 7 Years

          You’ll be unpopular here then.

        2. Don Van Vliet
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Our fixtures for the next 2/3 look woeful, too. Will no doubt end with a final day defeat at home to Villa to send us down.

      13. FPL Pillars

      17. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Bournemouth with King, Lewis Cook and Brooks back. Interesting to see if the players returning from injury will improve their level.

      18. Don Van Vliet
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Is Antonio playing without shorts?

        McCarthy > Pope
        Cantwell>Guendouzi (for funds)
        Saka>Fernandes
        Aubameyang>Abraham

        Means I can keep Salah, Mane, KDB, TAA
