Wolverhampton Wanderers probably need just a couple more wins to secure Premier League football for another season and will be looking to get three points on the board when West Ham come calling.
The Molineux men sit nine points clear of the drop zone with nine games left and the bookies make Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich red-hot favourites for an instant return to the Championship.
Wolves beat Saints 2-1 at St Mary's just before the international break, bringing up two bets for Slips Tips, and boss Vitor Pereira will now be out to take another step towards safety,
West Ham United sit just one place above them in the table and results have been patchy since Graham Potter took the reins from Julen Lopetegui.
The former Brighton and Chelsea boss will need a full pre-season and the summer transfer window to put his mark on an underachieving squad.
But Potter will still be looking for a win here as he bids to move up a few places in the table before the Premier League season finishes.
How the bookies view it: Home fires burning
The bookies reckon Wolves have the edge at Molineux, with BoyleSports pricing the home win at 11/8. West Ham United are 2/1 shots and the draw pays 21/10.
Recent head to head: Hammers bossing it
West Ham won 2-1 when these sides faced off earlier this season, with two bets landing for me. That made it five Hammers wins in the last five meetings, with the only Wolves success in that period coming at Molineux two years ago.
Players to watch: Strand to attention
Wolves are still without star man Matheus Cunha but Jorgen Strand Larsen stepped up with a double last time out against Southampton. The big striker is 11/4 for anytime scorer at Bet365 and that looks a bit overpriced.
West Ham have been relying heavily on Jarrod Bowen for inspiration and he looks their best bet for a goal here. The forward is 14/5 at BetVictor to add to his nine-goal tally this season.
Probable line-ups
Cunha still has two more games of his lengthy ban to serve while Wolves are also missing Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic, Yerson Mosquera and Leon Chiwome due to injury.
All of West Ham's injuries are in attack, with Michail Antonio, Niclas Fullkrug and Crysencio Summerville set to miss out again.
Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa, Doherty, Ait-Nouri, Agbadou, Semedo, T Gomes, Munetsi, Andre, J Gomes, Strand Larsen, Bellegarde.
West Ham United: Areola, Mavropanos, Todibo, Kilman, Wan-Bissaka, Emerson, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta, Soucek, Bowen, Kudus.
Anything else catch the eye?
There's not much between these sides so it should be a close game. The half-time draw came up when these sides last locked horns so backing a repeat could pay off here at evens with BoyleSports.
Both teams to score has landed in the last four games for Wolves and that's why it pays just 3/4 here. But adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 7/5, and that bet has come up in the last two meetings.
The last three games at Molineux have hit double figures for corners and that makes over 10.5 flag kicks another decent option at 13/10 with BoyleSports.
