Crystal Palace v Wolves: match preview

Crystal Palace v Wolves
Crystal Palace v Wolves: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: X

Roy Hodgson has a great opportunity against Wolves to guide Crystal Palace back into the winner’s enclosure after a dismal defeat in midweek. Wolves are winless in seven with their dive down the table coinciding with Raúl Jimenéz’s absence. The striker remains unavailable as he recovers from a head injury. Wolves have not been the same without him and Hodgson will be confident his side can improve markedly on the 1-0 defeat in the Cup. Willian José may be given a larger role to bring some experience into Wolves’ attack. Graham Searles
