A bit more on Pablo Felipe, West Ham’s new signing.

• Position: Striker

• Age: 22

• Nationality: Brazil

• Signed from: Gil Vicente (Portugal)

• This season: 14 games, 10 goals

• Form (last 6 games): 6 goals, 1 assist

He’s on the bench this afternoon.

Will today be the day for Wolves? After impressive performances in defeats at Arsenal and Liverpool, plus Tuesday’s draw at Manchester United, it looks as if Rob Edwards is gradually making his team competitive in the Premier League once again.

That first league win of the season is still to be earned but the omens are good. Wolves have already beaten West Ham at Molineux this campaign – in the Carabao Cup in August – and Graham Potter was in charge the last time the Hammers won away from home – at Nuno Espírito Santo’s Nottingham Forest in August.

Edwards spoke to the media yesteday:

The intensity levels are better. There’s more of a confidence and belief but that’s only going to come from more results and more performances and being more consistent with what we do. There are certainly certain things that we’ve improved on, but it’s a difficult league, and we came in at a difficult moment, so it was always going to be hard to instantly get those results. I said to the lads after the [United] game that we need to get that performance level at home. That’s the most important thing for us now.

West Ham and Burnley will be pleased to hear of Nottingham Forest’s defeat at Villa Park. And Wolves, I guess, if we’re being nice.

Transfer news: here is the latest from West Ham

Santiago Bueno is fit enough to start for Wolves – he is the only change from the lineup that got a draw at Manchester United in midweek. Mateus Mané, 18, continues to start in midfield. Jørgen Strand Larsen, a transfer target for today’s opponents, is on the bench.

Striker Pablo Felipe, signed from Gil Vicente yesterday, could make his West Ham debut from the bench. Lucas Paquetá and Jean-Clair Todibo are ruled out.

Charalampos Kostoulas makes his first Premier League start and leads the line for Brighton ahead of Danny Welbeck. Yankuba Minteh misses out after a dead leg with Koaru Mitoma coming in.

Bashir Humphreys replaces the injured Maxime Estève for Burnley, while Jacob Bruun Larsen and Jaidon Anthony come into the front three.

Preamble

Hello and welcome to the afternoon’s clockwatch. Attention in the Premier League turns to the battle for survival, with all of the bottom three in action at 3pm (GMT). Wolves are still looking for their first win of the season and host West Ham, who are four points from safety. Burnley, six points adrift of 17th, visit a Brighton side who are without a win in six.

There’s no EFL action today – a full programme is slated for tomorrow – but we do have Scottish football to keep tabs on. The Old Firm got under way earlier on.

The knockout stages of Afcon kick off this afternoon with a last 16 clash between Senegal and Sudan at 4pm, plus we’ll have updates from league fixtures across Europe.
