Wolves travel to Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday night as both teams aim to bounce back after losses in the division last time out.
Brighton were beaten 1-0 by Arsenal on Tuesday as the visitors fought their way to a narrow victory, courtesy of an Alexandre Lacazette goal, while Wolves were also 1-0 losers that same evening – defeated after an injury-time strike from Marcus Rashford. The results left Graham Potter’s Seagulls 17th in the table, two points off the drop zone, and Nuno Espirito Santo’s Wolves in 12th.
Wolves could narrow the gap to the European spots with three points at the Amex, but even a win would only do so much for Brighton as they look to claw themselves up a tight table and away from their relegation rivals.

What is the team news?
Wolves look set to be without the injured Willy Boly and Leander Dendoncker here, while Jonny Castro and Raul Jimenez also remain sidelined. Jonny is edging closer to a return to action but is not expected to recover in time to feature at the Amex.
Similarly, Tariq Lamptey is unlikely to be fit for the game, although his recovery from a hamstring issue is progressing well, and Jose Izquierdo and Florin Andone could miss out. In a boost for Potter, however, Adam Lallana and Danny Welbeck could start.
Predicted line-ups
Brighton: Sanchez; Webster, Dunk, White; Veltman, Bissouma, Propper, Lallana, March; Maupay, Welbeck
Wolves: Patricio; Coady, Saiss, Kilman; Ait-Nouri, Neves, Moutinho, Semedo; Podence; Neto, Silva
Odds
Brighton: 6/4
Draw: 11/5
Wolves: 15/8
Prediction
Wolves have been in inconsistent form this season but should have the quality to edge this one against a Brighton outfit that will no doubt be spirited and come to play. Brighton 0-1 Wolves.
