Wolves Rooted Bottom Of The Table

Rooted to the bottom of the table and already eight points adrift of safety, the Old Gold have failed to win any of their 11 Premier League games this season.

Tasked with turning Wolves’ fortunes around, new boss Rob Edwards knows the club inside out having previously represented them as a player, coach and Under-23s manager.

Edwards will hope to make an instant impact with Wolves this weekend, but success against Crystal Palace is not a given for the Old Gold, who have won just one of their last nine Premier League meetings with the Eagles

After concluding the month of October with an eye-catching 3-0 EFL Cup win at Liverpool, Crystal Palace have since put together a three-game unbeaten run in November across all competitions, with wins over Brentford (2-0) and AZ Alkmaar (3-1) followed by a goalless stalemate with Brighton a fortnight ago.

Head To Head

Palace boast a stronger record against Wolves, though, as they have won 57% of their Premier League meetings with the West Midlands outfit (W8 D2 L4), their highest win rate against any team they have faced more than 10 times in the division.

Possible Starting Lineup

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Johnstone; S. Bueno, Krejci, Toti; Tchatchoua, J. Gomes, Andre, Munetsi, H. Bueno; Arais, Strand Larsen

Crystal Palace: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Kamada, Wharton, Mitchell; Sarr, Pino; Mateta
