In what can sum up as another average season in the Premier League, Wolves welcome home Brighton with hopes of a top table half finish. The match schedules for Sunday at the Molineux Stadium with a kickoff at 2 pm.
Brighton – who recently avoided any relegation woes with four games to spare – enter the clash with five points adrift. Wolves come off a disappointing 1-1 draw to relegation-threatened West Brom, whereas Brighton secured an important 2-0 win over Leeds United.
It was an entertaining clash last time out for Brighton, who closely fought for any relegation woes. Leeds United put up a fight, but a 14th-minute goal by Pascal Grob followed by a 79th rocket by Danny Welbeck secured a win.
The win ended the Seagulls stretch of four games without a win, who currently sit ten points off relegation-threatened Fulham. However, Graham Potter will be keen to advise not to take the foot off the gas pedal towards the end of the season.
In contrast, it has been somewhat a disappointing season for Wolves, given their current woes. Last season saw Nuno Espirito’s side feature in a European spot towards the end of the season. Moreover, pressure continues mounting on Espirito, with the fanbase pushing for better prospects with the four remaining games. The reverse fixture was a pure spectacle as Brighton fought back to a 3-3 draw.

Wolves Team News
Rayan Ait-Nouri picked up an injury in their last outing against West Brom, thus paving the way for Max Kilman to deputize him at left-back. After passing a late fitness test, Joao Moutinho pushes for a recall in the middle of the park. Additionally, Willy Boly is an absentee as he continues recovering from coronavirus.
Brighton Team News
Potter will be looking to make few changes to the starting lineup that got the job done the last outing. Unfortunately, the match comes too soon for Adam Lallana to recover from a calf problem. So Alex Mac Allister starts on the bench again.
