Wolverhampton to Win

Reason for tip

There haven’t been too many positives for either of these sides to take from their opening couple of games of the season but Wolves did at least show a bit of defensive resolve in a defeat at Bournemouth at the weekend, as they restricted the Cherries to just one goal despite playing for almost the entire second half with 10 men. Wolves may be able to edge out the Hammers as the visitors look incredibly suspect at the back, shipping eight goals across their opening two games.

Wolverhampton 1-0

Wolves are yet to score this season but they should be able to find a way through against a Hammers side who have conceded eight goals in two games. One goal may be enough to win this tie, so a 1-0 victory for Wolves is the pick.

Wolves and Hammers in need of cup respite

Wolves and West Ham meet in an all-Premier League EFL Cup tie on Tuesday and both of these sides may be grateful for an early distraction from the league.

Wolves went down 4-0 to Manchester City in the opening round of games and were beaten 1-0 at Bournemouth on Saturday, playing the majority of the second half with 10 men after Toti was dismissed.

The Hammers have had an even more disappointing start as they lost 3-0 at promoted Sunderland in their opener and were then thrashed 5-1 by Chelsea at home.

The form of these two teams makes this a tough tie to call but home advantage could be the difference so Wolves look the more likely winners.

The Midlands outfit finished last season with a decent run of three wins in their final five games at home, including a win over West Ham.

Wolves at least managed to impress with their defensive work against Bournemouth as they restricted the Cherries to just one goal despite their numerical disadvantage. They may be able to shut this West Ham side out on Tuesday and one goal may be enough to nick this, so take a chance on a 1-0 home win.
