Wolverhampton Wanderers have tasted defeat only once in their last six matches in the Premier League and will look to keep their excellent form intact as they take on Burnley in their next encounter. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men would be bolstered by their hard-fought win against Manchester United in their last match and will look to dish out another exceptional performance against Sean Dyche’s team.
Burnley, on the other hand, will look to return to winning ways after enduring four defeats in their last four encounters in the Premier League. However, it would not be an easy task for the Clarets when they take on the in-form Wolves in their own backyard in their next match.
Team News
Wolves will be boosted by the fact that they don’t have any serious injury concerns to deal with ahead of this crucial clash. However, centre-back Ryan Bennett will miss the next match due to a suspension.
Goalkeeper
Rui Patricio will start in goal for the Wolves. The Portuguese keeper has had outstanding outings against both Cardiff City and Chelsea in the last two matches in the Premier League and would look to replicate his form in the next game as well.
Defence
In the absence of Ryan Bennett, the onus will be on Willy Boly and captain Conor Coady to keep the backline safe against the Burnley attackers. Romain Saiss is expected to start in the three men backline.
Midfield
The two Portuguese midfielders, Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho, would start in the heart of the midfield against the Clarets. The Belgian ace Leander Dendoncker would accompany them in the central midfield. Matt Doherty would begin in the right wing back position while Jonny Castro would put in a shift as the left wing back.
Attack
Diogo Jota has been in excellent form for Wolves and made sure that he was a constant threat against the opposition in the last few matches. He would lead the attack against the Clarets as well. His partner Raul Jimenez notched up his 12th goal of the Premier League campaign in the last league encounter against Chelsea. Jiminez also scored against Manchester United in the F.A. Cup just before the international break and would look to keep his scoring form intact against Burnley as well.
Predicted Formation (3-5-2)
