Former team mates Cesar Peixoto and Nuno Espirito Santo are set to meet up as managers, after their playing spell at Porto over 20 years ago. The West Ham United backroom team has some familiar faces for supporters, too, with first team coach Rui Pedro Silva and goalkeeper coach Rui Barbosa part of the Wolves set up during those great days under Nuno. Meanwhile, in defence Max Kilman could possibly face his former employees.
There will be little room for sentiment in a crucial Championship clash. Despite all the emotions connected with the fixture, Peixoto has insisted that his pre-match preparation will remain unchanged, but appreciates that West Ham will be a tough test for his Wolves side who are currently unbeaten in his tenure.
