Wolves preview: Hoping to extend their good run of form
It seems that managerial change has been just what Wolves needed to snap out of their poor form this season since we saw a different team ever since Vitor Pereira took over the reins from Gary O'Neil. Granted, it's only been three games since that happened, but Wolves have managed to win seven points from those three matches, while before that they had nine points from 16 games.
However, Wolves will have to deal without a lot of injured players for this match, which includes the likes of Sasa Kalajdzic, Pablo Sarabia, Enso Gonzalez, Mario Lemina, Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore, and Toti Gomes. On top of all that, they will also be without their top scorer this season Matheus Cunha due to suspension.
Predicted lineup: Sa (GK), Doherty, Bueno, Dawson, Semedo, Doyle, J. Gomes, Ait-Nouri, Hwang, Guedes & Larsen

Nottingham Forest preview: Their fairytale season continues
With five wins in a row, Forest have been on a truly impressive form lately. However, this isn't an outlier from the rest of their season since Nottingham Forest have been impressive since the first round of the Premier League. After all, they are currently third in the standings, only behind Liverpool and Arsenal, so it's safe to say that we might see the Garibaldis in Europe next season, if they can keep this pace up.
Another positive for the team is their short injury list with only Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare on it at the moment.
Predicted lineup: Sels (GK), Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Yates, Anderson, Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi & Wood

Player to watch: Chris Wood
While many of the Nottingham Forest players deserve a mention in this section, Wood is probably the player that has exceeded the expectations the most. The New Zealand forward has 11 goals in 19 Premier League matches this season, which is impressive for a player whose record is 14 goals in one season in this competition.
