Mick McCarthy's men claimed the Championship title at the end of last term and will now be looking to secure survival in their first top-flight campaign since 2003/4.They have been tipped to struggle but the fixture list looks to have been fairly kind to Wolves for the early part of the season, and they will be targeting a fast start against West Ham.McCarthy, who endured a nightmare spell in the Premier League as Sunderland boss, has strengthened his squad over the summer and a number of players could make their competitive debuts at Molineux.Former Reading striker Kevin Doyle is likely to start on the substitutes' bench after recovering from a groin problem, while goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey (ankle) is also hoping to be fit.Chris Iwelumo (foot) and Michael Kightly (hip and foot) are out, while defender Christophe Berra is also missing.Berra is sidelined with a hamstring strain that he suffered during Scotland's 4-0 defeat in Norway on Wednesday, so on-loan Michael Mancienne should come in.West Ham newsWest Ham will be keen to push on from last season's ninth-placed finish as they start their first full campaign under Gianfranco Zola.Zola came in last September to replace Alan Curbishley and earned good reviews for the way he got the Hammers playing an attractive brand of football.He has signed Luis Jimenez on loan from Inter Milan and the Chilean winger is set to line up against Wolves.Kieron Dyer will be relishing the chance to show that he still possesses the pace and skill to frighten top-class defenders after an injury-plagued couple of years, and is set to support Carlton Cole in attack.Luis Boa Morte is set to miss the first half of the season with a cruciate knee ligament injury, while Dean Ashton is still recovering from a serious ankle problem.Possible starting XIsWolves: Hennessey, Foley, Mancienne, Stearman, Ward, Edwards, Henry, Milijas, Jarvis, Ebanks-Blake, Keogh.West Ham: Green, Faubert, Tomkins, Upson, Ilunga, Noble, Parker, Collison, Jimenez, Dyer, Cole.
