Wolverhampton Wanderers v Watford: match preview

Wolves v Watford
Wolves v Watford: probable starters in bold, contenders in light. Illustration: Guardian

Scoring a late equaliser at Crystal Palace last week will have helped to convince Wolves players that they can still finish high up the table despite their lowly position at present. Then again, Watford enjoyed a rousing fightback against Arsenal two weeks ago and then were annihilated 8-0 at Manchester City, so momentum may be overrated. What is certain is that both sides will see this as a prime opportunity to claim their first league win of the season. Paul Doyle
