Wolves pair Fernando Marcal and Daniel Podence are fitness doubts for Sunday's meeting with Fulham.
Marcal limped off early on against Manchester City with a calf injury, while Podence missed the 4-0 defeat at West Ham because of a shoulder problem.
Fulham's Harrison Reed could miss a fourth successive game, while fellow midfielder Mario Lemina remains out.
Kenny Tete is also nursing an injury but new loan signing Ademola Lookman will be involved.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION Not on my thread Bouffant boy !
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Wolves have lost only one of the past 10 league meetings, a 2-0 defeat at Craven Cottage in the Championship in February 2018.
There has not been an away victory in their 10 Premier League encounters.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves suffered their heaviest Premier League defeat since March 2012 by losing 4-0 at West Ham last Sunday.
They could lose both of their opening two home matches of a top-flight season for only the third time.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side have lost five of their past nine league fixtures (W3, D1).
Wolves are in danger of conceding three or more goals in three consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since March-April 2004.
They are unbeaten in seven Premier League home games against promoted sides since a 0-3 loss against QPR in September 2011.
Santo and Scott Parker were opposition players when Porto won 2-1 at home to Chelsea in the Champions League group stage in December 2004.
Fulham
Fulham have only once lost their opening four top-flight games of a season - they were relegated at the end of that 1951-52 campaign.
The last four sides to start a Premier League campaign with four consecutive defeats all avoided relegation that season, most recently West Ham in 2018-19.
Fulham have conceded 10 goals in their three matches. The Premier League record for most goals conceded in a club's opening four fixtures of a season is 14, set by Swindon Town in 1993 and equalled by Southampton in 2012.
The Cottagers have conceded at least twice in 17 of their 21 Premier League matches since January 2019.
Fulham and Sheffield United are the only sides yet to take the lead in a Premier League game so far this season.

Always felt the premier league should be 18 clubs personally.

Man Utd and Liverpool have put forward proposals for radical changes to the Premier League. This would include reducing the number from 20 to 18. Other details soon to be publicised
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional proposals include shelving the Community Shield and League Cup. And more games in Europe with the Champions League in 2024.
And in a proposal that would affect Wolves, they are looking to end the one club one vote system and give extra power to the 9 clubs that have been in the Premier League the longest

May as well change to the franchise system in the US and close the shop. That's what the big clubs really want.

Just the next step along the way to a euro super league. Reducing domestic games to make room for European ones

Chinese owned clubs will NEVER be allowed at the top table. The USA runs English football by proxy of Man United and Liverpool.
There will be no European super league - they are planning on going straight to a world league. The TV revenue from South American countries would outstrip the rest of the world combined.
SKY 6
Bayern (plus one other)
Three from Spain
Two from Italy
PSG
Two from USA
One from Canada
Four from South America
Nothing from Scotland.
No promotion or relegation. Closed shop. The rest of the UK game would go amateur, Fosun would have nothing to sell because their investment will be worthless.
Villa, because of their owners, might just be invited ahead of Spurs or Arsenal.

Pretty cynical of United and Liverpool to use the current situation to get the cash starved EFL clubs on board with a £250m sweetener. They can see ambitious clubs like Leicester and Wolves trying to elbow their way in to their cosy club and are trying to pull up the draw bridge.
Will get nasty this, the PL won't have a product if the "big 6" pull away, that threat will be their bargaining chip/ blackmail.

125th cap for Moutinho tonight and a clean sheet for Rui. Impressive performance from Semedo too. And a nice rest for Neves.

Yes there were some good moments from Semedo tonight both in attack and defence. He is going to be a quality signing

let let them sell tv rights for a league of two.

I read this morning that Rick Parry has said to them that if they resign from the PL he'll welcome them back to the EFL. I dont think that's the direction of travel they have in mind Rick.
