The Gameweek 32 opener – and the first Premier League fixture since 22 March! – is West Ham United v Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Victory for the Hammers would take them out of the bottom three, at least until Sunday afternoon.

Kick-off at the London Stadium is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo makes five changes to the side that started against Leeds United in the FA Cup.

Mads Hermansen, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Tomas Soucek, Pablo Felipe and Crysencio Summerville are recalled for the hosts.

Alphonse Areola, Soungoutou Magassa, Freddie Potts and Adama Traore drop to the bench, while Max Kilman is not in the matchday squad.

Jean-Clair Todibo and Callum Wilson are back from injury and among the substitutes.

Wolves’ team news is much more straightforward: Angel Gomes comes in for the benched Mateus Mane, so his 14-match run in the starting XI comes to an end.

LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf, Soucek, Fernandes, Bowen, Pablo, Summerville, Taty

Subs: Areola, Wilson, Adama, Todibo, Magassa, Wan-Bissaka, Scarles, Potts, Kante

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Mosquera, S Bueno, Krejci, Tchatchoua, Andre, J Gomes, H Bueno, Bellegarde, A Gomes, Armstrong

Subs: Bentley, Wolfe, Hwang, Tolu, Lima, R Gomes, Toti, Mane, Edozie

    So …
    I only have FH and TC left
    (4 transfers stored)

    Is FH33, TC36 the best and only option ?

    I only have Guehi, Semenyo, Hill and Dubravka as blanks in 34 at moment (and would still have my 4 FT) so the blank isn’t a huge issue to manage

      I think Gabriel/Bruno are in that select SGW bracket of being pretty untouchable. I get its team dependant etc.

      I think any other SGW player is expendable for a DGW roll of the dice tbh

      I was looking at:

      Thiago/Bowen

      Wilson/Gordon/Sarr

      Raya/Henderson

      on WC and I just thought, "tbh they aren't all that reliable so may as well roll the DGW dice"

      Bruno/Gabriel were the exceptions

    I spent half a lifetime comparing stats, planning, constructing the perfect team. Suddenly see Verbruggen on my bench. Too late, pens down.

    Darlow, differential. Hoping for a penalty save or two.
