£15m attacker braced for start as Cunha continues role change - Wolves predicted XI v Crystal Palace - gallery
Here’s how we predict Wolverhampton Wanderers to line up against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are back in Premier League action on Sunday afternoon as they travel to the English capital to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Brimming with confidence after a 1-0 win over Everton and a 5-0 thrashing of Blackpool, Gary O’Neil’s side will be eager to continue the momentum.
Palace are one point above Wanderers after securing a 1-1 draw at Brentford last time out but are struggling somewhat with their attacking output.
Wolves, meanwhile, might be lacking goals in the Premier League but are putting on consistently impressive displays going forward – a notable change under the new manager.
Set up in the 4-4-1-1 formation seen of late, here are the 11 players we think O’Neil will start this weekend, as well as brief explanations for each inclusion.
1. GK - Jose Sa
Put in a brilliant display at Everton and appears to be getting back to his best.
2. RB - Matt Doherty
Scored twice midweek against Blackpool and may have forced his way into the XI for the Premier League.
3. CB - Craig Dawson
Was rested in the cup, likely with this weekend in mind.
4. CB - Max Kilman
Been the best defender so far this season and is likely to start every single game as the new skipper.
