Team News
Wolves
Vítor Pereira has received a significant boost with key attackers Hee Chan Hwang and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde returning to training and available for selection. Furthermore, striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has also recovered well from his Achilles issue. Matt Doherty and Leon Chiwome remain the only confirmed absentees.
Burnley
Scott Parker welcomes back striker Lyle Foster, who missed the win over Leeds but is now fit. However, the defence remains depleted, with Connor Roberts, Jordan Beyer, and Zeki Amdouni all still sidelined through injury. Lesley Ugochukwu, who has scored in his last two league games, will be key in midfield.
Form
Wolves
Wolves are enduring a miserable run, winless in 12 league games stretching back to last season and sitting bottom with just two points. They have shown some fight in recent draws, but continue a worrying trend of failing to win despite taking the lead in their last three league matches. Significantly, Wolves are winless in 25 Premier League games played across May, August, September, and October since 2023.
Burnley
Burnley’s vital 2-0 win over Leeds last weekend ended a five-match winless streak and lifted them out of the relegation zone. However, their away form is a major concern. Indeed, the Clarets have lost all four of their Premier League away games this season, failing to collect a single point on the road.
Predicted Lineups
Wolves predicted XI: Johnstone; Tchatchoua, S. Bueno, Krejčí, H. Bueno; Munetsi, André, J. Gomes; Arias, Strand Larsen, Hwang Hee-chan.
Burnley predicted XI: Dúbravka; Walker, Estève, Tuanzebe, Hartman; Cullen, Ugochukwu, Florentino Luís; Tchaouna, Anthony; Flemming.
