The hungry Wolves will take on European hopefuls Brighton in a Premier League clash on Saturday.
Wolves had been on a tear—six wins on the bounce—until City reminded them what elite looks like. But back at Molineux, where they’ve netted eight across three straight home wins, there’s history on the line: one more goal and they break their all-time Premier League scoring record.
Vitor Pereira’s men may be parked in 13th, but they’re playing with swagger and purpose, and Brighton’s shaky defence offers a golden chance to make it 52 and counting.
Brighton, meanwhile, are still sniffing around for a European spot, but their road form has been dreadful as they are one point from the last nine available.
They’ve gone six games without a clean sheet, and their habit of conceding late is becoming a real problem. Still, Fabian Hurzeler’s side has Wolves’ number. They are undefeated in six league meetings, including a wild 2-2 draw earlier this season and an EFL Cup win, against the Wolves. Europe’s in reach, but they’ll need to steady the ship fast.

Wolves vs. Brighton predicted lineups, team news
Wolves are set to welcome back Jorgen Strand Larsen after a groin issue kept him out against Manchester City, likely at the expense of Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
The injury list remains otherwise unchanged: Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera, Leon Chiwone, and Sam Johnstone are all still sidelined. With little left to play for, Vitor Pereira may rotate, with Pablo Sarabia, Goncalo Guedes, and Rodrigo Gomes pushing for rare starts.
Wolves predicted XI (3-4-2-1, right to left): Sa (GK) — Doherty, Agbadou, Toti — Semedo, Andre, Gomes, Ait-Nouri — Munetsi, Cunha — Larsen.
Injured: Kalajdzic, Gonzalez, Mosquera, Chiwone, Johnstone
Suspended: None
Brighton could also be boosted by the return of Kaoru Mitoma, who missed the Newcastle draw with a heel issue but is expected to feature. Solly March is another possible returnee, while Danny Welbeck remains one goal shy of double digits for the season.
Joao Pedro is still suspended, and James Milner, Georginio Rutter, and Ferdi Kadioglu remain unavailable. Fabian Hurzeler will need to balance ambition with caution as the Seagulls chase a European spot.
Brighton predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Verbruggen (GK) — Veltman, Dunk, Van Hecke, Estupinan — Baleba, Ayari — Minteh, O'Riley, Mitoma — Welbeck.
Injured: Milner, Rutter, Kadioglu
Suspended: Pedro
