Wolves will face Brentford on Saturday afternoon in an effort to turn their season around.
Currently, Wolves sit at the bottom of the Premier League, being the only team in the top seven tiers of English football without a victory. Losing this match would be their 10th straight defeat in the league.
Last week, Wolves were narrowly defeated by Arsenal, conceding an own goal late in the game. Despite this, their overall performance has shown slight improvement. They will meet a Brentford side that has struggled significantly on the road, providing a potentially favorable opportunity for Wolves to earn their first win.
The team faces a significant selection issue, particularly in defense. Yerson Mosquera is suspended, and Emmanuel Agbadou is away for the Africa Cup of Nations. As a result, the manager needs to adjust the backline, with Santiago Bueno and Matt Doherty likely to step in.
In midfield, players Rodrigo Gomes, Marshall Munetsi, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are all injured. Up front, Tolu Arokodare, who scored his first Premier League goal against Arsenal, is pushing for a starting spot. He is expected to team up with Hwang Hee-chan, potentially leaving Jørgen Strand Larsen on the bench.
Wolves predicted XI: Johnstone; Doherty, Bueno, Toti; Tchatchoua, Gomes, Krejčí, André, Wolfe; Arokodare, Hwang
The match will take place at Molineux on Saturday, 20 December 2025, with kick-off set for 3:00 pm GMT.
This match will not be shown live in the UK due to the 3:00 pm Saturday blackout. Highlights can be watched on BBC’s Match of the Day.
