Sheffield United have enjoyed a far better start to the season than they experienced last season, but Chris Wilder still wants more from his group of players.
The expectation for the Blades, more often than not, is to compete for promotion, and that is no different this year, even if their squad of players is perhaps below the required level.
A big win against Wolves, who are expected to be among the top few teams in the Championship this season, could really instil some much-needed belief in the squad and fanbase.
Sheffield United have beaten Wolves just once in the last six years.
Wilder will be without the injured quartet of Harrison Burrows, Femi Seriki, Tahith Chong and Ryan One on Sunday.
As for Wolves, their bright start to the season has come to a grinding halt over the last couple of weeks, with the Old Gold losing to West Ham before Birmingham City held them to a 2-2 draw.
Those two results have seen them slip out of the top six, but given how much football is still to be played, there won't be too much concern in the Wolves camp.
Only West Ham have scored more goals than Wolves this season.
Manager Cesar Peixoto has excited fans with his expansive football thus far; however, he may need to work on his defensive shape, as Wolves are conceding far too many goals at present – six across their last two matches.
Peixoto will be without Rafiki Said, Kieran Trippier, Yerson Mosquera and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde on Sunday.
