Wolves vs Nottingham Forest team news: Pereira and Nuno name lineups in Premier League

Vitor Pereira and Nuno Espirito Santo have named their starting lineups and substitutes for this afternoon’s English top tier clash at Molineux Stadium.

Both teams will be eager to achieve a positive result to kick off 2025 with this the first fixture of the new year for each. It’s expected to be an entertaining affair with Forest dark horses for the Champions League but Wolves revived under their new manager.

Pereira is yet to lose as head coach of the Old Gold, with two wins and one draw in his opening three outings. The victory away at Leicester City in a relegation six-pointer was impressive but the win over Manchester United trumped that. The 2-2 sharing of points at Tottenham Hotspur was also commendable.

Wolves have made five changes from that draw in north London eight days ago, bringing in Jorgen Strand Larsen, Tommy Doyle, Rodrigo Gomes, Goncalo Guedes and Pedro Lima for Matheus Cunha, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Andre, Nelson Semedo and Craig Dawson. Forest, meanwhile, have kept nine of the 11 starters that beat Everton 2-0 away from home on December 29. Here are the two teams in full.
