Only Liverpool are on a better unbeaten run than Wolves.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have not been toppled in any of their past matches but they have some way to go until they match Liverpool’s – match Premier Leaguerecord. The lightning Adama Traoré v 6ft6in Dan Burn is an intriguing match-up.

and the Brighton head coach knows the size of the task at hand. “We have to start again,” says Potter, who confirms Connolly misses out with a dead leg. “We had a good evening but it doesn’t count for anything now and we are playing against a team in really good form that are really hard to beat. We have to go again and we will do our best.

Team news news:Brighton make one change from that victory over Arsenal on Thursday with Leandro Trossard, who laid on the winning goal for Neal Maupay, replacing Aaron Connolly, who failed to shake off a hamstring issue. In Dan Burn, Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster, they have three defenders around the size of Brighton seafront’s i 421 tower. Nuno Espírito Santo’s Wolves, meanwhile, are unchanged. Oh, and in official news Jon Moss is at the Amex despite his framed match-worn referee shirt from the FA Cup final being stolen from his funky Leeds record shop, which goes by the name of The Vinyl Whistle. So many questions.

Preamble **********************************
Brighton are presumably still bobbing up and down after beating Arsenal in their own back yard in midweek but remain just three points above the relegation zone. Just four points separate ninth-placed Sheffield United and Southampton, who take on Newcastle this afternoon, in 20 th. Graham Potter, for one, is not taking anything for granted and his players must share that mindset after an unforgivingly quick turnaround. “Anything is possible in this league, that’s the way you have to think or else it becomes boring,” Potter said. “We have to keep working towards what we’re trying to achieve and maintain the spirit around the group.”
Wolves are having a better season than many realise, with Nuno Espírito Santo’s side qualifying for the knockout stages of the Europa League without breaking sweat and on a 10 – match unbeaten run in the top flight. Nuno gave his players a rare day off on Thursday as a reward for their efforts in what has already been a marathon season, with this their 31 th match since July. And then they have another five matches before December is out. “I hope [the players] enjoyed their day off,” Espírito Santo said. “It was well deserved and they needed it. It was important they understand it’s a day to rest, recover, stay at home and be with family and join us to be ready for Sunday. ”We’ll soon find out how ready they are.
Kick-off:4. (pm (GMT))
