Wolves
Gary O’Neill has done a stellar job at Wolves, with the side from the West Midlands fully immersed in the mid-table Premier League battle this term. However, forcing their way into the mix in a cup competition would be a huge achievement and there will be an expectancy from the crowd here at Molyneux, as Wolves look to book their place in the quarter finals.
Team news: Star striker Matheus Cunha remains out of action for Wolves here.
Wolves Predicted Lineup:
Jose Sa, Max Kilman, Craig Dawson, Toti Gomes, Nelson Semedo, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Mario Lemina, Joao Gomes, Pablo Sarabia, Pedro Neto & Hwang Hee-chan.
Brighton
With a Europa League campaign to manage too, Brighton have been hugely impressive once again this season, even if they haven’t managed to hit the heights of last season. Fighting on three fronts is never easy and manager Roberto De Zerbi will be desperate to improve upon last season’s run to the FA Cup semi-finals. They will enjoy playing away from home here and have the tools to really hurt Wolves in attacking areas.
