Wolves will look to continue with their decent run of form when they take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium today.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side picked up a 2-1 against Aston Villa right before the international break, and are in the top half of the league table, level on points with Manchester United and just a point behind Sheffield United, who are fifth.
Wolves managed a draw when they last travelled to the south coast, and will look to better that result and make it two wins in as many league games.
Wolves Team News
Willy Boly fractured his fibula last month and underwent surgery three weeks ago. The defender is expected to be out of action until mid-December.
Morgan Gibbs-White and Adama Traore are also doubtful, and might not be rush back into the Wolves lineup.
Predicted Wolves Lineup vs Bournemouth
Defence
Rui Patricio has claimed 3 clean sheets from 12 league outings so far. The 31-year-old custodian has been a safe pair of hands in goal, and is set to keep his place in the Wolves XI.
Conor Coady averages 1.3 tackles and 4.4 clearances per game in the league, and he is often one of the first names on the team-sheet. He should line up alongside Romain Saiss and Ryan Bennett
Wing-backs
While Jonny is expected to get the nod to start at the left-wing-back position, Matt Doherty is likely to keep his place on the opposite flank.
Doherty played an instrumental role against Villa as he won 6 aerial duels, and made 2 tackles. He will be key once again against Bournemouth.
Midfield
The midfield pairing comprising of Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho have injected a lot of grit as well as quality to Wolves side, and will look to control the game once again.
Neves and Moutinho will have to exploit the gaps against Bournemouth as the Cherries like to attack at home.
Attack
Having bagged 5 goals and 2 assists in 12 league appearances so far this term, Raul Jimenez is in a rich vein of form and is likely to lead the line.
Espírito Santo could go with Diogo Jota and Pedro Neto as his side’s wingers. It remains to be seen if Traore will be fit for the game.
