Wolves' performance in their draw with Manchester United underlined what I already thought.
Yes, they have lost a couple of key players in Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri, but they have still got enough in their squad to have done far better than they have this season.
This is a massive week for West Ham, with their relegation rivals Nottingham Forest up next after this game.
The Hammers are looking pretty desperate, but their recent away record actually is not too bad. They were well beaten at Manchester City but, before then, they drew three in a row at Bournemouth, Manchester United and Brighton.
They probably feel under less pressure when they are on the road but I am still reluctant to back them to win anywhere at the moment.
I feel the same way about Wolves, who have now gone half the season without a victory. Let's call this one a draw.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Wolves will attempt to win for the first time in the Premier League this season against a West Ham United side who have not won away from home since August.
BBC Sport examines some of the key themes going into Saturday's meeting at Molineux.
Can Wolves end winless run?
Wolves begin the new year having earned their first point since 5 October at Old Trafford on Tuesday to end a wretched run of 11 defeats, although the Premier League's bottom side remain in dire trouble with half of the campaign remaining.
Rob Edwards said his players deserved more following the 1-1 draw and while Wolves' head coach praised a "good performance and progress" after winning the first point of his tenure, drastic improvement in terms of results is needed in short order if the West Midlands side are to mount any kind of realistic challenge at avoiding relegation.
Wolves are only the second side in top-flight history to fail to win any of their opening 19 matches, and the first since Bolton Wanderers more than a century ago.
Wanderers have drawn their opening league game in three of the past five calendar years, but Edwards' men simply must start taking three points as soon as possible and a home match against a West Ham side beset by struggles of their own is surely a must-win fixture.
Wolves started 2025 with a home match against a team managed by Nuno Espirito Santo but on that occasion, they lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest.
Such a result against a relegation rival would feel almost terminal this time round, particularly against a visiting side who have failed to win any of their past eight league fixtures – their longest run without victory in the competition for nearly 15 years.
West Ham's struggles under Nuno
West Ham's struggles are longstanding, although their prevailing issue so far this season has been an inability to keep clean sheets. The Hammers have done so on just one occasion in 2025-26 - against Forest on 31 August when Nuno was the opposing manager.
That 3-0 triumph at the City Ground was also the only time this season that West Ham have gone on to win a Premier League match in which they have scored the opening goal (D3, L2) and Nuno's defensive approach when in a winning position has regularly attracted the ire of supporters in this campaign – a tendency compounded by a drop-off in most metrics since the former Wolves boss replaced Graham Potter in September.
West Ham's switch to a counter-attacking approach is yet to pay off, with the Londoners averaging fewer points per game, scoring fewer goals and conceding more on average under Nuno than his predecessor.
West Ham, though, tend to start the calendar year in a positive fashion.
The 4-1 defeat by Manchester City at the beginning of 2025 was their first opening defeat in the past eight calendar years, while the Hammers have not lost their first fixture in consecutive calendar years since 2008.
West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Wolves at Molineux Stadium (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On opponents Wolves: "They are tough, every game in the Premier League is tough so we expect at Molineux a very tough game. Both teams in need."
He said he wants to see his side "perform, compete and make the point [against Brighton midweek] really valuable".
He described the forthcoming fixtures as "huge" as West Ham face Nottingham Forest, who remain above the drop four points clear, just three days after Wolves.

Image source, Getty ImagesWest Ham have confirmed striker Niclas Fullkrug has joined Serie A side AC Milan on loan until the end of the 2025-26 season, with an option to make the transfer permanent.
The 31-year-old Germany international joined the Hammers for £27m from Borussia Dortmund in August 2024 but has struggled in England, scoring just three goals in 29 appearances.
Fullkrug posted on Instagram: "The past one and a half years didn't go as I - and surely you all - had imagined. Above all, I want to thank you for your support, even when things weren't always easy.
"There are truly special people at WHU, and I am very grateful for everyone I met and the relationships I was able to build. Wishing you all the best for the rest of the season."

A normal Premier League season may run from August to May, but what happens if we stop the table now? What if it was only what happened in 2025 that counted?
With the calendar flicking over to 2026, this is the ideal time to check back on which teams have had an enjoyable 12 months and see who had a year to forget.
The top five is an accurate reflection of this season's top five (although it should be noted not all teams have played the same number of games).
Arsenal have led the way this campaign and, after coming up short last season, they will be striving to go one better to finally secure an elusive first Premier League trophy since 2004.
If looking just at the past 12 months, the title would be theirs, despite a number of draws early in 2025.
Having gone through their worst run of form under Pep Guardiola late in 2024 and early into 2025, alongside their initial poor start to this season, it may be surprising to find Manchester City so close at the top.
But a feature of this City side under Guardiola is their ability to recover from less than impressive starts and go on winning streaks - they are currently on a run of six wins in the league.
Aston Villa fans can look also back fondly on 2025, having experienced the return of Champions League football, secured more European football again this term and found themselves in a battle for the Premier League trophy.
They may have had a slow start this season but their general consistency in 2025 and a club record-equalling run of 11 straight wins in the final weeks catapults them into the top three.
Having won the title with ease last season, Liverpool fans can still revel in that achievement. But a drop-off at the end of 2024-25 and a poor run this time around leaves them fourth for the year.
Meanwhile, Chelsea made progress in 2025 under Enzo Maresca, with Champions League football and two bits of silverware, but a lack of consistency in a young team prevents them ascending higher than fifth.
When looking at the next five, there are perhaps some surprises.
With their FA Cup win, 2025 will go down in Crystal Palace's history, and their Premier League form has not been too shabby either as they compete with the teams that have occupied Champions League spots in recent seasons.
No Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo or Yoane Wissa? No problem for Brentford. They may have had a summer of upheaval but that has not stopped the Bees buzzing as they continue to perform above expectations.
After a few years of struggles on and off the pitch, 2025 seems to be the one Everton fans can finally start to look up rather than down with the new stadium and return of David Moyes bringing much-needed stability.
Newcastle may have had a few ups and downs, but they have come good when needed and hold their own in the top six, while Brighton continue to establish themselves firmly in the top 10.

Now, what about those who may have had a less enjoyable 2025?
Manchester United continue to try to find their feet under Ruben Amorim. And while there have been glimmers of progress in recent weeks, a torrid first half of the year has left them with much room for improvement (and a draw with Wolves to end 2025 only added to the questions).
Bournemouth and Fulham both seem to have found consistency in their ability to be inconsistent.
There have been bursts of form from both, but also bouts of disappointment they might rather forget.
As for Nottingham Forest, 2025 may have been the year they returned to Europe for the first time in nearly three decades, but when it came to results in the league, particularly this season, it has been more of one to forget.
Under their third head coach of the season, they will hope 2026 does not bring the return of Championship football.
Like Forest, Tottenham's 12 months has been memorable for both the good and the bad.
A first trophy in 17 years was secured in the Europa League, but it has been far from impressive in the Premier League, managing just 11 wins from 37 matches and some pressure already building on boss Thomas Frank.
One of the most notable things about the bottom end of the calendar year table is the presence of all three promoted teams, despite two of the three having played a game less than the relegated clubs of last season.
With Leeds nine points better off and Sunderland 17, it highlights the disparity in how well this year's promoted sides have done in comparison to the previous three.
For the Black Cats, it has been a dream return to the top flight, including a recent win over Tyne-Wear rivals Newcastle, and in this season's table they find themselves just two points off fifth.
After overcoming a difficult patch, Leeds are also enjoying their return to the top table, slowly pulling themselves away from the danger spots.
It has been more of a struggle for Scott Parker's Burnley, but they will not lose hope with still half a campaign to go.
After recent successes with European football, domestically things have become a harder watch for West Ham supporters as they struggle to find the balance between good football and much-needed results
Then there is Wolves - and fans may want to look away.
Despite playing 20 Premier League games more, the West Midlands side accumulated only one point more than Sunderland across the year.
A win this term still eludes them and safety in 2026 appears a distant dream.

Image source, Getty ImagesBest memory and why?
There have not been many good memories in 2025. The only one that really stands out is the 1-0 win at Emirates Stadium in February. It was our second successive season of derailing Arsenal's title challenge by winning in north London against all the odds. It was all downhill for us from there.
Worst memory and why?
Where do I start? The entire year has been one to forget. We're on course to record the fewest number of wins in a calendar year in the club's history and that ha come just two and a half years after lifting a European trophy. Our fall from grace has been monumental, and this year especially has been a complete shambles. We thought we'd finally become a regular competitor in the top 10 of the Premier League and in European competition, but now we are in severe danger of being relegated. How does that even happen in such a short space of time?
If I could drink a New Year's brew with one member of our squad/management it would be...
Jarrod Bowen. I would ask him what it is like to carry an entire football club on his shoulders. I would also ask him what it is like to score the winning goal in the final minute of a European cup final for West Ham United. He has lived the dream of every single West Ham fan on the planet by achieving that and has cemented himself as a club legend by doing so.
The thing that's infuriated me in 2025 is...
All of it. Literally all of it. It does not just infuriate me - it breaks my heart that we have allowed ourselves to fall to where we are now.
My gut tells me 2026 will bring...
More of the same, unfortunately. Until serious changes are made at board level, I fear we are on a slippery slope back to the Championship, and this time there are no guarantees we will come straight back up.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on who West Ham should sign as a striker in January after ending their interest in Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Here are some of your comments:
Ian: Joshua Zirkzee on loan from Manchester United may help us score some goals and actually win some games!
Joe: I think we should go for reliable goalscorers, players like Aleksandar Mitrovic or Divock Origi. Get one (or both) on short-term deals with massive bonuses if the club stay up.
James: I feel like Josh Sargent from Norwich City would be a good signing. Yes, he is playing in the Championship but is a proven goalscorer. Given the position they currently find themselves in, I would expect Norwich to want to keep him but as we know, every player has their price.
Greg: First of all this is classic West Ham and I guarantee on deadline day we will try to get a loan with an option to buy and then be told we tried to get him but couldn't. I'd like them to look at Jonathan Burkardt in Germany as he's been scoring lots lately.
Magnus: Jorgen Strand Larsen would have been an OK choice but there is better out there for West Ham. I think Jhon Duran is a great shout.
Jim: Bring back Michail Antonio!
Mike: Can Geoff Hurst find his boots?
Image source, Getty ImagesWith West Ham feeling top striker target Jorgen Strand Larsen is overpriced by Wolves, their search for forward reinforcements must turn elsewhere.

We asked for your thoughts after Tuesday's Premier League game between West Ham United and Brighton.
Here are some of your comments:
West Ham fans
John: A crazy first half and nobody knew what decision the referee was going make next. At least we started with a striker this time. Unfortunately when Callum Wilson went off we struggled, the bench didn't have any quality to really make an impact. At least we didn't lose. Poor Nuno has a mountain to climb with this rabble of a club.
David: No question we're a better team with Nuno. We could have easily won the Fulham game as well as this one, but for a couple of defensive lapses and some bad luck. If we can get a forward and a centre-back in the transfer window, there's still a chance.
Joe: We truly are our own worst enemy. It's either terrible management by the board or awful on field decisions. Jarrod Bowen is a true Hammer but the rest look uninterested in what happens to the club. Another nail in the relegation coffin, I'm afraid.
Ray: I was OK with the starting line-up and it was great to see Callum Wilson starting and playing with a striker for change. But as soon as Nuno started making changes, especially pulling off Wilson, it all went downhill. Nuno has got to go.
Brighton fans
Rob: How different it looked when Kaoru Mitoma came on. The team has clearly been missing his ability to take on players and create chances from the wing. Time to give Tom Watson a start to show what he can contribute.
Tim: A chaotically entertaining game of very little quality but plenty of commitment and drama. Neither team could defend or gain any sort of control in the game. A draw was probably the right result despite the dubious VAR call for the Lewis Dunk 'handball'. Good to see Joel Veltman back - the only calm head in the Albion team.
David: Good first 10 minutes of attacking play meant we could have been two up but then we conceded a goal and the old mentality returned. We forget going forward, instead backwards and sideways passing prevails which get us nowhere. Forget Europe, concentrate on avoiding relegation, which is where we are heading unless there is a permanent change of attitude or maybe management.
Graham: Bad team selection, slow in making substitutes, lack of motivation and young players not being given a chance. Bye bye, Fabian Hurzeler.

West Ham pushed to limits in confusing and intense game against Brighton - Santo
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo to BBC Match of the Day: "A lot of things happening in the game, the first half was confusing for the players and everyone in the stadium.
"First half was better, we contained, dominated, created a lot of chances. Second half we started well, controlling well with good combinations, but after conceding we went through some troubles, especially when Brighton brought on Mitoma and Rutter, fresh players with such quality.
"After that we were trying to hold on with the young boys. I'm really pleased with what they gave to the team and squad, but we didn't have many situations from which we could counter-attack from. Overall it was an intense game, both teams went to their limits.
"The referees must speak with the players, explain to them what is contact, which is excessive, which is foul, because we se so many things in the box now it can be confusing. Sometimes they whistle, sometimes they ignore it.
On the performance of Ollie Scarles after his mistake against Fulham on Saturday: "It's fantastic to bounce back really well, he knows he has our support and confidence. I'm delighted the fans appreciated it because mistakes are part of the game."
Alex Brotherton
BBC Sport journalist
Image source, Getty ImagesAfter conceding a late winner to Fulham on Saturday, West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo said that everything was going against his side.
He might well be feeling the same three days later, even if the Hammers' misfortune was self-inflicted in their 2-2 draw with Brighton.
Jarrod Bowen's cool finish against the run of play could have been a launchpad - and drew him level with Michail Antonio for the most combined Premier League goals and assists for the club with 101 each.
Instead, Max Kilman conceded a penalty with a desperate last-ditch lunge, before Lucas Paqueta produced a tackle that would not look out of place in the NFL.
The Hammers were fortunate to only be punished once, but lady luck did take kindly to Alphonse Areola flapping at a corner 16 minutes into the second half.
There are certainly positives to take - Callum Wilson and Bowen linked up well in attack, while 20-year-old left-back Ollie Scarles looked solid after his costly mistake against Fulham three days ago.
But with 17th-placed Nottingham Forest losing at home to Everton, this was a chance missed to move within two points of safety.
West Ham must cut out their defensive lapses before it is too late.
