Wolves preview: Edwards to make changes?
Still in search of a first Premier League win of the season to narrow their nine-point gap to safety, Wolves are without Matt Doherty Rodrigo Gomes, Ladislav Krejci and Fernando Lopez through injuries.
Predicted lineup: Johnstone (GK); Tchatchoua, Agbadou, Mosquera, Toti, Bueno; Gomes, Andre, Bellegarde; Arias & Larsen
Last five results:
- Aston Villa 1-0 Wolves
- Wolves 0-2 Crystal Palace
- Chelsea 3-0 Wolves
- Fulham 3-0 Wolves
- Wolves 3-4 Chelsea
Nottingham Forest preview: Murillo to return?
Nottingham Forest are again unable to call on Ola Aina, Taiwo Awoniyi, Dilane Bakwa, Chris Wood and Oleksandr Zinchenko, all of whom are confined to the treatment room, while key Murillo and Morgan Gibbs-White should be deemed fit to feature.
Wingers Dan Ndoye and Nicolas Dominguez are fresh doubts after coming off at half time against Brighton.
The Reds sit a point above the drop zone thanks to an upturn in form under Sean Dyche.
Predicted lineup: Sels (GK); Savona, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Sangare, Anderson; Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi & Jesus
Last five results:
- Nottingham Forest 0-2 Brighton
- Nottingham Forest 3-0 Malmo
- Liverpool 0-3 Nottingham Forest
- Nottingham Forest 3-1 Leeds
- Sturm Graz 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Player to watch: Morgan Gibbs-White
Morgan Gibbs-White was somewhat of a fitness concern in the Nottingham Forest camp, but he was fit to start against Brighton and will feature against his former club on Wednesday.
With several attacking injuries, the captain will act as his side's key man going forward having netted four goals in his last seven appearances.
