Wolverhampton Wanderers are already back in action this week, just a few days after salvaging a point at Molineux.

Though, the quick succession of matches is merely a reminder of just how hectic December can be in English football.

Last time out against Sheffield United, the west Midlanders needed second-half heroics from Matt Doherty to scrape a draw to keep them in the top six in the Premier League.

Now they host a struggling West Ham outfit, but will manager Nuno Santo make any changes considering he failed to use any of his substitutes on Sunday?

We predict that the Portuguese boss will run three changes with Romain Saiss returning to the starting line up following suspension.

He is likely to replace Max Kilman, even despite the youngster impressing on his Premier League debut. Alongside him remains Leander Dendoncker as Ryan Bennett is still out through injury and skipper Conor Coady.

Another switch could be in defence as Ruben Vinagre’s presence hands Jonny a chance for a rest along the left-flank.

Meanwhile, just ahead of him up the field, Diogo Jota is likely to be dropped in favour of Patrick Cutrone, who has shown on international duty he can perform in that very role.

The Portuguese winger is on a barren seven-game run without a goal or assist.

Nuno may keep the rest of the squad the same given the lack of options on the bench last time out – two academy players featured and the time to rotate could come in a week when they play a dead rubber game against Besiktas in the Europa League.
