Wolves come into the match after their midweek win against Liverpool, where a dramatic late goal secured all three points at Molineux. This result was another sign of improvement from Rob Edwards’ side as they attempt to build momentum during the final months of the season.
José Sá will be rested for this game as he battles with an ongoing ankle injury. André is suspended for this fixture after accumulating too many yellow cards. When speaking about facing Liverpool again, Edwards had this to say: “They’re a brilliant team. I don’t anticipate loads of change tactically, but they’ll look to do things quicker and better, and we have to be ready for that.”
