Wolverhampton Wanderers will visit the City Ground for an important Premier League match as they face the threat of relegation. Wolves are at the bottom of the table and need to improve their situation quickly. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, will aim to widen the gap between themselves and the relegation zone. Here’s a look at Wolves’ predicted lineup and team news.
Wolves Predicted Lineup As Survival Hopes Hang In The Balance
Recent Lineup Overview
Wolves head into this match following a 3-1 loss to Chelsea, which highlighted ongoing issues both offensively and defensively.
In the Chelsea match, José Sá was in goal. The defense included Yerson Mosquera, Matt Doherty, Hugo Bueno, and Santiago Bueno. In midfield, João Gomes and Angel Gomes played together, while Adam Armstrong, Matues Mané, and Hwang Hee-chan were positioned further up the field.
Tolu Arokodare led the attack, with Wolves primarily looking to counter-attack rather than maintain ball possession.
Recent Form and Tactics
Wolves have struggled to earn points lately, remaining the lowest-scoring team in the Premier League, often failing to convert limited scoring chances.
When playing away, the team is expected to focus on solid defending at the City Ground. Wolves will likely adopt a low defensive block, minimize space between players, aim to frustrate Forest, and attempt to counter-attack using their wing-backs.
Team News
Hwang Hee-chan is sidelined after being substituted against Chelsea. Toti Gomes is unavailable, and André is also doubtful but may undergo a late fitness test. Coach Rob Edwards provided an update during the pre-match press conference:
“Channy is out; it’s his calf. It will take several weeks, and we’ll schedule another scan. We’ll check on Andre’s condition. Toti is making progress.”
