Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Nottingham Forest to Molineux this Saturday for a three o’clock kick off.
Wolves will look to continue their home form after beating Burnley, losing just two of their last 12 Premier League games at Molineux.
Forest will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeat against Fulham.
Wolves currently sit 12th, wining two of their last five.
The visitors Nottingham Forest sit 16th winning just one game out of their last five.
In terms of depth, Wolves have some flexibility with Joao Gomes and Mario Lemina coming back into the fold. Gary O’Neil hopes Jose Sa will be fit for Saturdays encounter after Sa was not ‘100% comfortable’ for the recent Burnley game. Pedro Neto is on the grass training, but Wolves are not going to rush the Portuguese’s return to first team action. Rayan Ait-nouri is reportedly set to be on the sidelines for a month after an ankle injury he picked up away at Fulham.
For the reds, former Wolves centre-back Willy Boly was substituted at half time against Everton after picking up a knock. Striker Taiwo Awoniyi is out with a long term injury.
Good news for Forest fans is the return Brazilian centre-back Felipe in recent games. Chris Wood and Danilo were also back in the squad against Fulham and could play a part in Saturday’s encounter.
A few players to keep a close eye on in Saturdays fixture: Wolves academy graduate Morgan Gibbs-White will be looking to get back at his former club, Hee-Chan Hwang has scored six goals at Molineux this season and could add to his numbers Saturday.
The last time these teams faced each other at Molineux, Wolves were victorious after a Ruben Neves penalty in the 56th minute.
