While Dexter Lembikisa and Tyler Roberts are due back for Wolves, they will be without central-midfield duo Joe Hodge and Owen Hesketh.
With Wolves possessing a number of injuries, a switch to a back three is not out of the question unless Ollie Tipton or Kem Kandola deputise in midfield alongside Temple Ojinnaka.
