Pre-match preview

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Raúl Jiménez has been ruled out for several weeks with a knee injury picked up against Everton. Adam Armstrong, preferred up front last time out when Jiménez was left among the substitutes, is expected to start again against West Bromwich Albion.

Jordan James is in line for a rare start in the attacking midfield three, with Sean Neave the alternative there. Ladislav Krejci has started twice in the last five matches and is expected to continue at centre-back, with Nasser Djiga or Toti alongside him.

West Bromwich Albion

Nolan Galves faces a lengthy spell out for West Bromwich Albion with a meniscus injury expected to keep him sidelined for a few months; he had started three of the previous five games before the injury.

Brayann Pereira is available again for selection after suspension. At the back, George Campbell — who started four of the previous five games before coming off the bench against Queens Park Rangers — is competing with Chris Mepham for a starting spot, while Conor Townsend, given his first start at left-back in that same game, is set to keep his place this weekend.
