West Ham now know their first three opponents as they resume the battle for Premier League survival later this month.

With English football brought to a three-month standstill by the coronavirus pandemic, the Hammers - who took just five out of an available 27 points prior to the suspension - have not played since their narrow loss to Arsenal on March 7.

16th and out of the relegation zone on goal difference only, David Moyes' side will be desperate to resume on a winning note when they host Wolves at 5:30pm BST on Saturday, June 20 in a match that will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

The visitors will be no straightforward opponents, however, with Wolves occupying a place in the top six and potentially invigorated by the break having played 48 matches already across all competitions before the shutdown.

After the visit of Wolves, West Ham face two difficult London derbies in succession against Tottenham and Chelsea.

West Ham's away trip to Spurs will be live on Sky Sports on Tuesday, June 23 with an 8:15pm kick-off, while Chelsea are due to travel to London Stadium at the same time on Wednesday, July 1. That match will also be on Sky Sports.

The remaining Premier League fixtures will be confirmed in due course.
