The West Ham starting XI selected by Graham Potter may come back to bite him. Or it could serve him very well indeed.

Sure, we have nothing substantial to play for between now and the end of the season, but winning is a habit, and it would be great to head into next season on the back of a decent run of form.
West Ham starting XI vs Wolves confirmed
Potter desperately needs a win tonight.
There have been small improvements under his stewardship, but this is a results business.
Here’s how he’s lined up for tonight’s clash with Wolves, as confirmed via the club’s official X account:
Alphonse Areola, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Max Kilman, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Aaron Cresswell, Ollie Scarles, James Ward-Prowse, Lucas Paqueta, Luis Guilherme, Jarrod Bowen, Evan Ferguson
That team should be good enough to get all three points against Wolves.
The fact that Matheus Cunha will be missing through suspension for Wolves will be a big boost for the Hammers.
However, the starting XI could have been stronger if you ask me.
Huge mistake by Graham Potter with West Ham starting XI
Potter has made some bizarre calls since taking charge of the Hammers, when it comes to his starting lineups at least.
His refusal to play Evan Ferguson from the start was quite simply mind-boggling.
There should also be big questions hanging over his head regarding his continual use of Konstantinos Mavropanos.
From the starting XI vs Wolves, the central midfield department just doesn’t have the right dynamic as far as I’m concerned.
Leaving Jean-Clair Todibo out is a really bold call as well.
More energy will be needed against Wolves, but it remains to be seen whether Potter will be proven right.
