Match preview

As the hunt for their new manager continues, struggling Wolves lock horns with another confidence-sapped side in Nottingham Forest this weekend and the clash at Molineux is unlikely to be a classic.

Under-18s coach Steve Davis is once again set to take charge of Wolves, having overseen their 3-0 defeat away to Chelsea last week, and the pressure to put points on the board is intensifying.

Wanderers have been terrible going forward, scoring only three goals in their nine Premier League assignments this season, and they will once again be missing Raul Jimenez and Sasa Kalajdzic for this match.

The return of Ruben Neves in midfield will be a plus but goals could be at a premium when Wolves take on Forest, who limped to a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa last time out, have scored only seven league goals themselves this term and are also in the bottom three.

Key stat

These sides have scored only ten goals between them in a combined 18 Premier League matches this season.
