Latest Brentford vs Wolverhampton team information
Brentford captain Christian Norgaard missed the West Ham game with a minor injury, but manager Frank said he was "close" to being fit to play against Wolves. Mathias Jensen is also recovering from a calf injury, while Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Gustavo Nunes, Yoane Wissa, Igor Thiago and Josh Dasilva are all still recovering from injuries.
Kevin Schade was forced off in the 60th minute against West Ham with cramp, but could continue alongside Mbeumo, who has just surpassed Ivan Toney's record for most Premier League goal involvements for Brentford.
Meanwhile, Wolves are dealing with a number of injuries, with Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera and Boubacar Traore all out with knee injuries. Bastien Meupiyou is also out for the next few weeks with an unspecified injury.
O'Neil was dealt a further blow when Santiago Bueno went off with a hamstring injury, but the centre-back has returned to full training, along with Craig Dawson, who missed the defeat to Liverpool through illness. Despite Wolves' commendable effort in the previous game, O'Neil is unlikely to make many changes to his squad, but Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who played just 52 minutes, will have to compete with Carlos Forbs, Goncalo Guedes, Hwang Hee-chan and Pablo Sarabia for a place.

Latest Brentford vs Wolverhampton football review
Scoring in the first 30 seconds against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City hasn’t been a successful tactic for Brentford, but their commitment to pressing from the start hasn’t wavered. In their recent game against West Ham, Bryan Mbeumo volleyed home after just 37 seconds, making Brentford the first team in Premier League history to score in the first minute of three consecutive games. However, West Ham slowly got back into the game and equalised through Tomas Soucek early in the second half.
Soucek’s goal was reminiscent of Jack Wilshere’s fine strike for Arsenal against Norwich City in 2013-14, when Brentford were undone by a series of superb one-touch passes in the penalty area. The result extended Brentford’s winless run to three top-flight games. However, Thomas Frank’s side remain in mid-table, 12th, and have the chance to become the first team to score four goals in the opening minute of consecutive Premier League games against Wolves. They are also unbeaten at home in all competitions in 2024-25.
However, Brentford have conceded in four games at the Gtech Community Stadium and have dropped 38 points from leading positions since the start of last season, the most in the league.
Wolves, on the other hand, have had a difficult start to the season, sitting bottom of the Premier League, having picked up just one point from their opening six games and lost their last three, including an EFL Cup defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. Wolves went behind to Ibrahima Konate's first-half goal against Liverpool last weekend, but Rayan Ait-Nouri quickly equalised. However, they were unable to hold on for long, with Mohamed Salah scoring a penalty to hand Liverpool the win.
Despite Wolves having faced the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Aston Villa in the early stages of the season, O'Neil's side have still had bright spots in attack, scoring in their last seven games in all competitions. Wolves beat Brentford 4-1 just after Christmas 2023 and are now unbeaten in their last five away games at Brentford.
While Brentford’s defence can create chances for Wolves, keeping possession without conceding is still a major issue for them. With Brentford regularly losing leads, Wolves will likely take the opportunity to pick up a point, although this may leave them waiting for all three points.
