Latest Wolverhampton vs Brighton team information

Wolves' efforts at the Etihad were hampered by the absence of key striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who is out with a minor groin problem, but the Norwegian is expected to return for Saturday's game.

With Larsen available, Wolves have just five players still nursing injuries: Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera and Leon Chiwone (all knee injuries), along with reserve goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

Larsen's return and replacement for Jean-Ricner Bellegarde may be the only change coach Pereira is considering. However, in the context of not having many targets, names such as Pablo Sarabia, Goncalo Guedes and Rodrigo Gomes may be given the opportunity to start.

Brighton could also welcome an important return to the attack, with Kaoru Mitoma – who missed the draw with Newcastle with an Achilles injury – likely to be fit for the trip to Molineux.

Mitoma and Danny Welbeck are both on nine Premier League goals this season – one short of 10, as is Joao Pedro, who is suspended and will miss this game. If all three reach 10, it will be the first time in Brighton’s history that multiple players have scored 10 or more in a Premier League season.

Solly March could also return from a minor knee injury, while James Milner (thigh), Georginio Rutter and Ferdi Kadioglu (both ankles) remain sidelined. Joao Pedro will complete his three-match suspension after this round.

Latest football commentary Wolverhampton vs Brighton

Southampton, West Ham United, Ipswich Town, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Leicester City all fell to the might of Wolverhampton under Vitor Pereira, before that run of form was halted at the Etihad – where former champions City hosted the Premier League's most in-form side at the time.

However, beating Pep Guardiola's side away from home proved too much of a challenge last Friday night, as Belgian stars Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne combined to end Wolves' impressive six-game winning run.

However, results for the rest of the season are of little significance to Wolves – who are currently 13th and out of the top 10 with 10th-placed Brighton 11 points ahead. Conversely, if they fall short, they could drop as low as 17th in the final three games.

However, coach Pereira and his team still have the chance to rewrite history at Molineux. With 51 goals scored since the beginning of the season, Wolves only need one more goal to break the club's record for goals scored in a Premier League season.

The last time Wolves scored 52 or more goals in a top-flight season was 1979-80, when they scored 58. They are also on a run of three consecutive home wins, scoring eight goals – a milestone they hope to achieve this weekend.

Meanwhile, Brighton are having serious problems in defence, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 6 consecutive matches. Last weekend, despite having home advantage, coach Fabian Hurzeler's team painfully dropped a victory 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 equalised from the penalty spot, taking his Premier League tally this season to 23.

Brighton scored in stoppage time to beat West Ham last week, but this time it was them who were hit by the “karma”. After eight games in all competitions, Brighton have won just once but still have a chance to compete for a UEFA Conference League spot.

The 10th-placed side are just one point behind eighth-placed Bournemouth, and that position could be enough to secure a European place. However, having picked up just one point from their last three away games puts that ambition in serious doubt.

However, an entertaining 2-2 draw in October showed Brighton’s good record against Wolves – they are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games against the side, while Wolves also lost 3-2 to Brighton in the League Cup earlier in the season.
