Wolves welcome Nottingham Forest tonight for the Monday Night Football game to end the Premier League's gameweek 20. The major narrative going into this one is of course Nuno Espirito Santo heading back to the Molineux, and considering how high Forest are flying right now he is going to want to really prove a point to his former employers.

Wolves Team News

Wolves have won 2, lost 2 and drawn 1 in their recent 5 games, with the draw and two wins coming following the appointment of Vitor Pereira. The side are level on points with Ipswich at 16, so a win here is vital to keep them moving further away from the drop zone, but it'll be tough against a quality Forest side that are consistently hitting it out of the park recently.

The side have quite a few players on the treatment table at the moment, including Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzale, Yerson Mosquera and Boubacar Traore, all due to knee issues.

Pablo Sarabia (calf) and Toti Gomes (hamstring) are also out, whilst Mario Lemina is out but also being heavily linked for a move to Saudi Arabia, so he probably won't be on the pitch again for the relegation battlers.

There really aren't enough superlatives to describe just how well Forest are playing under Nuno at the moment. 5 wins in their last 5, which includes the likes of Man United, Aston Villa and Tottenham, shows that their position in the top 4 isn't some fluke, they're genuine Champions League place contenders come May.

In terms of 100% absentees for the trip to Molineux, it's only Danilo (ankle) and Ibrahim Sangare (hamstring), who are long term anyway.

Murillo (groin) and Callum Hudson-Odoi (knock) should be back in time to face Wolves, whilst Ryan Yates is also back from suspension, so Nuno should have no issues picking an XI.
