Match preview

Wolves' lack of goalscoring threat has landed them in a relegation battle and their chances of staying up may get worse before they get better as they host Brighton.

The Seagulls will be flying high after beating former manager Graham Potter’s Chelsea 4-1 last weekend and face a home side who have lost five of their last seven games.

Managerless Wolves also have a considerable list of absentees, with Pedro Neto, Raul Jimenez and Matheus Nunes all injured and Diego Costa suspended after being sent off against Brentford.

Julen Lopetegui has again been linked with the vacant position but whoever takes charge has some serious work to do to get more out of this team.

Brighton’s Leandro Trossard has scored more goals than Wolves this season and their failure to find the net puts extra pressure on their defence to grind out results.

Take Roberto De Zerbi’s visitors to deepen the woes around Molineux with a win.
