Wolves will look to continue their mini spurt of good form when they host Bournemouth at Molineux on Saturday.

Gary O'Neil's men have won the last two games, but face a Bournemouth side that have recently defeated Arsenal and Manchester City.

Match Preview

Wolves Recent Form

Wolves are unbeaten in four games, drawing with Brighton and Crystal Palace and defeating Southampton and Fulham in the Premier League.

Wolves Injury News

Yerson Mosquera, Enso Mosquera and Sasa Kalajdzic are long-term absentees for Fulham but the Austrian striker should make his return in January.

Santiago Bueno and Craig Dawson missed the win over Fulham but both should be fine for this one.

Last Wolves Lineup

Here's how Wolves lined up against Fulham.

Bournemouth Recent Form

Bournemouth may have claimed the scalps of Arsenal and Manchester City recently, but they've actually lost their last two games against Brentford and Brighton.

So, it is tough to predict exactly what you'll get from the Cherries in any given match.

Bournemouth Injury News

Julian Araujo and Alex Scott are definitely out, while Luis Sinisterra remains a major doubt.

Antoine Semenyo is suspended following an accumulation of five yellows.

Last Bournemouth Lineup

Here's how Bournemouth lined up against Brighton.
