Wolverhampton Wanderers face Burnley at Molineux on Sunday in what feels like a must-win game, even at this early stage of the season.
Vítor Pereira’s side are the only Premier League team yet to register a victory. Furthermore, they are looking to avoid becoming only the third club in top-flight history to fail to win any of their first nine league games in consecutive seasons. Recent draws against Spurs and Brighton offered slight encouragement, but a subsequent defeat at Sunderland highlighted their ongoing struggles.
The team has notably failed to win their last three league games despite scoring first each time. Therefore, finding resilience to hold onto a lead, alongside rediscovering their attacking spark, is crucial against fellow strugglers Burnley.
Wolves team news
Vítor Pereira has been handed a timely triple fitness boost ahead of this crucial fixture. Key attackers Hee Chan Hwang and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are both back available after injury and illness, respectively. In addition, striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has recovered well from a persistent Achilles problem.
With Matt Doherty and Leon Chiwome the only absentees, Pereira has welcome selection options. He is expected to stick with the back-four system that has brought slight improvements recently.
Wolves predicted Lineup
Wolves predicted XI: Johnstone; Tchatchoua, S. Bueno, Krejčí, H. Bueno; Munetsi, André, J. Gomes; Arias, Strand Larsen, Hwang Hee-chan.
