VITOR PEREIRA'S PRESS CONFERENCE
On Brazil striker Matheus Cunha’s future after comments he made to The Guardian newspaper about being ready to leave the club: “He knows his potential as a top player. For me, it’s normal that he wants to fight for titles. It’s natural. What’s important is that he is committed to helping the club to achieve their targets until the end of the season.”
Pressed on whether this means Cunha will leave in the summer: “Next season, I don’t know [if Cunha stays]. The focus is the next game and the team, and Cunha is a part of the team. In the summer, we will see what happens but in my opinion, it is normal that a player of his potential is ambitious.”
On whether Cunha will still play regularly for Wolves despite being linked to a move away: “If the training gives me the confidence to go with Cunha, I will go with Cunha because he has the quality to help us and he has already helped us a lot with goals and assists.”
Pereira said his squad has “no new injuries” and that the players who have returned from the international break are “all in condition to play”.
On Jean-Ricner Bellegarde: “I’m very happy for him. He’s a team player. In the beginning, I had doubts about his position in the system but now he can play in different positions. He can play in midfield, he can play as a forward and he can play in between the lines. He’s a worker, and I like these kind of players.”
On Wolves’ playing style: “I believe that footballers aren’t machines. I don’t want a robot team – I want a team with brains. There are moments in the game when we need to take risks and there are others when we don’t. I want them to have the confidence to appear on the ball in the box to take risks.”
On West Ham: “It’s a big opportunity to get three points and to keep fighting for our supporters – to make them proud by playing with passion. We will face a strong team, technically and tactically. The work of the coach is very good. It’s a team with confidence on the ball and high quality, but I have a fantastic team in a fantastic city.”

Wanderers are looking to avoid losing consecutive home league games against West Ham for the first time since a run of three between 1920 and 1922.
The Hammers’ record of seven wins in their last nine league games against Wolves is as many as they had managed in the previous 23 encounters.
Wolverhampton Wanderers

However, they have won just two of their past eight league fixtures at Molineux.
Wolves’ Premier League games this season have produced 98 goals (40 for, 58 against), the joint most of any side along with Tottenham.
