Latest Wolverhampton vs Brighton team news
Wolves' efforts at the Etihad were hampered by the absence of key striker Jorgen Strand Larsen due to a minor groin injury. However, the Norwegian forward is expected to return for Saturday's match.
With Larsen now available, Wolves only have five players still recovering from injuries: Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera, and Leon Chiwone (all with knee injuries), along with reserve goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
Larsen's return to replace Jean-Ricner Bellegarde may be the only change coach Pereira is considering. However, with few objectives left to achieve, players like Pablo Sarabia, Goncalo Guedes, and Rodrigo Gomes could be given a chance to start.
Brighton could also welcome back a key player in attack, as Kaoru Mitoma – who missed the draw against Newcastle due to a heel injury – is likely to be fit in time for the trip to Molineux.
Mitoma and Danny Welbeck both have 9 goals in the Premier League this season – just one goal away from reaching 10, as is Joao Pedro – who is suspended and will miss this match. If all three reach 10 goals, it will be the first time in Brighton's history that multiple players have scored more than 10 goals in a single Premier League season.
Solly March could also return from a minor knee injury, while James Milner (thigh), Georginio Rutter and Ferdi Kadioglu (both ankle injuries) remain unavailable. Joao Pedro will complete his three-match suspension after this round of matches.

Latest football match prediction: Wolverhampton vs Brighton
Southampton, West Ham United, Ipswich Town, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Leicester City all succumbed to Wolverhampton's dominance under manager Vitor Pereira, before that winning streak was halted at the Etihad – where former champions Man City hosted the Premier League's best-performing team at the time.
However, beating Pep Guardiola's side away from home proved to be too much of a challenge last Friday night, when Belgian stars Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne combined for the only goal, ending Wolves' impressive six-game winning streak.
However, the results for the remainder of the season are no longer very significant for Wolves – they are currently 13th and have no chance of finishing in the top 10 as Brighton, in 10th place, are 11 points ahead. Conversely, a slump could see them drop to as low as 17th place in the final three rounds.
However, manager Pereira and his team still have a chance to rewrite history at Molineux. With 51 goals scored since the start of the season, Wolves only need one more to break the club's Premier League goalscoring record in a single season.
The last time Wolves scored 52 or more goals in a single season in the top flight was in 1979-80, with a total of 58. They are also on a run of three consecutive home wins, scoring eight goals – a historic milestone they are poised to set this weekend.
Meanwhile, Brighton are facing serious defensive problems, having failed to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive matches. Last weekend, despite having home advantage, Fabian Hurzeler's side suffered a painful defeat against Newcastle.
Former Newcastle player Yankuba Minteh opened the scoring in the first half, but after Yasin Ayari handled the ball in the box in the final minutes, Alexander Isak scored the equalizer from the penalty spot, bringing his total Premier League goals this season to 23.
The previous week, Brighton had scored in injury time to beat West Ham, but this time they were the ones suffering the consequences. In their last eight matches across all competitions, Brighton have only won once, but they still have a chance to compete for a UEFA Conference League spot.
The team currently sits 10th only one point behind Bournemouth, who are in 8th place, a position that could secure them a European spot. However, having only earned one point in their last three away games casts serious doubt on those ambitions.
However, the exciting 2-2 draw in October showed Brighton have a good record against Wolves – they are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches against them. Furthermore, Wolves also lost to Brighton 2-3 in the League Cup earlier this season.
