Wolves v Brighton: match preview

Wolves v Brighton
Wolves v Brighton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Brighton’s quest for a best top-flight finish continues against Wolves. Graham Potter’s side are only a point above Southampton in 13th so will be hungry to return to winning ways. Yves Bissouma coming back from suspension to strengthen their spine makes this task a lot more palatable. Wolves will look at the table and think what might have been with a little more luck on their side this season but finishing sixth is still within reach. Bruno Lage’s side are six points behind Manchester United but have two games in hand. A win over Brighton could spark a dramatic flurry but that Rúben Neves shaped hole may continue to harm their form. Graham Searles
