PREVIOUS MEETING

It was back in September that we travelled to Molineux and picked up the three points with a 3-0 victory.

Jack Grealish gave us the lead inside 60 seconds before Erling Haaland added a second in the 16th minute.

Wolves defender Nathan Collins was shown a red card for a waist-high challenge on Grealish before we wrapped up the victory in the second half with a third from Phil Foden.

Plenty has changed at Wolves since then with the experienced manager Julen Lopetegui now in the dugout.

LAST TIME OUT

A stunning fightback on Thursday against Tottenham saw us maintain our title challenge after suffering back-to-back defeats.

It didn’t look good at half-time when we trailed by two goals, but a brilliant response in the second half saw us run out 4-2 winners.

Another victory would cut the deficit to Arsenal to two points ahead of their home clash with Manchester United.
