Wolves v West Ham preview: More selection decisions ahead of 'huge' game

The head coach must now decide whether to reward the players that got him a point at Old Trafford, or bring back one of his better footballers in Andre to start against the Hammers.

The easily solution could be to play Andre but start Arias and Mane further forward and drop Hwang Hee-chan, who gave the ball away for United's goal on Tuesday.

Whatever route the head coach takes, he must find a way to maintain the performance levels at Molineux amid Wolves' struggles at home, and against fellow relegation battlers West Ham, Wolves may not have a better chance to get their first win of the season.

"We know we've got to perform and get points at home," Edwards said.

"The challenge to the players is that everything we do now, everything in terms of recovery and preparation, is about trying to win a game of football at home. 

"The challenge is to try and perform as we have in the four away games since we've been here, at home.

"Against four top teams we've played really well away from home in all of those games and could have taken something from every one of them. We've got to produce that level of performance at home.

“We know there’s more expectation, the atmosphere is difficult at times, but we’ve got to blank that out, and we’ve got to perform as we have away from home at home. We’ve got to. End of story. That’s what we’ve got to do. But hopefully, we can get some belief and confidence from the actual result.

“It's a big game, it’s a huge game. I’ve just challenged the lads in there now, everything we do from this moment, all the recovery, is aimed at winning a game of football on the weekend. We all know it’s a big game.

"We need to go and produce that at home, simple as that, that's what we've got to do."

With no wins and just three points from 19 matches, Wolves still have a way to go to ensure they are not statistically the worst team in Premier League history.

Edwards has never shied away from the scale of the Wolves task and admits they can focus on ensuring they are not remembered as a history-making side for all the wrong reasons. 

"We've got half a season to make sure it's not the case," Edwards said.

"There'll be a lot of noise around at the moment, but I suppose points-wise, it'll be justified. 

"When you come and watch and you see this, then you're probably looking at it and thinking, 'they are better than three points'. 

"We are, but the reality is that's what we're on, so we've got to work extremely hard, stick together, keep fighting. 

"We're going the right way about getting points on the board.

"We've responded well with a couple of good performances. 

"Points have been really difficult for us to come by, but the performance level's there. The commitment has been there, which is all we can ask right now. 

"We can't guarantee the results, which I know I've said a lot, but the lads are giving us everything, which is pleasing."
