Sitting precariously close to the relegation zone at one stage, Wolverhampton have finally managed to stave off that narrative.
Undefeated in their last four matches, the club finds itself well above the drop. The side’s 1-0 win against Leeds United the last time around was the best showing of the bunch, a display which was reminiscent of the Wolverhampton unit tearing clubs apart not too long back.

Goal-Keeper
Given Darlow’s string of mistakes the last time around, the wordclass Martin Dubravka should finally be reinstated in between the sticks for his club.
Defenders
Newcastle United’s last two defeats in the league have seen them score on just one occasion. The club has clearly failed to compensate for the injured Wilson, a plight which could easily see Wolverhampton record a cleansheet today.
It sees us repose faith in in Nelson Semedo, Roman Saiss, Conor Coady and Jonny Castro Otto for the affair.
Midfielders
Ruben Neves has been the fulcrum of Wolverhampton’s renaissance. The midfielder has not only turned over possession but has netted on four occasions as well.
As ever, he’s been assisted abundantly by Joao Moutinho with the two moving in tandem to control the midfield for their side.
Allan Saint-Maxim’s goal the last time around typified his ability as a player. Miguel Almiron, the side’s top scorer in Wilson’s absence and Jonjo Shelvey will be completing the set of picks from the club.
Strikers
His team’s top scorer this season with the 5 goals and 4 assists, Pedro Neto as ever lines up for us from Wolverhampton.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Ruben’s four goals make him our captain while Neto is the vice-captain.
