Wolves Predicted XI (5-3-2): Sam Johnstone; Hugo Bueno, Toti Gomes, Ladislav Krejčí, Santiago Bueno, Jackson Tchatchoua; Marshall Munetsi, André, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde; Jhon Arias, Jørgen Strand Larsen

Rodrigo Gomes remains out with a long-term groin injury and isn't expected back until February, and Matt Doherty's fitness is in doubt for this game.

Crystal Palace Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Dean Henderson; Marc Guéhi, Maxence Lacroix, Chris Richards; Tyrick Mitchell, Jefferson Lerma, Adam Wharton, Daniel Muñoz; Daichi Kamada, Ismaïla Sarr; Jean-Philippe Mateta

Both Cheick Doucouré and Caleb Kporha will sit this one out. Palace also have a handful of players who are in doubt for this game, those being Rio Cardines, Chadi Riad and Eddie Nketiah.

Wolves vs Crystal Palace Current League Standings

It can't get much worse than this for Wolves, can it? Cue the Mick McCarthy reference. In all seriousness, the appointment of Rob Edwards doesn't fill me with much hope for their prospects, in what has already been a bleak and dull season for Wolves. Rock bottom with two points from 11 games, the worst attacking and defensive records in the league, and expected to be relegated already.

You'd hate to be a Wolves fan right now.

Things for Palace, though, are looking pretty rosy at the moment. Progressing in the EFL Cup after a brilliant result against Liverpool, a good start in Europe and looking pretty dependable in the Premier League. As far as stability goes, it's been a good few weeks for Palace. Currently in 10th position, a couple of good results could see them push all the way up into the Champions League spots, such is the compactness of the division at this stage. If the Eagles can turn draws into wins more regularly, then they're in for a really exciting season.

• Wolves 2-3 Burnley (H) - Premier League
• Wolves 0-2 Sunderland (A) - Premier League

There's no beating around the bush with Wolves, they've been appalling this season. Was Vitor Pereira the right man to take them forward? Perhaps not. But their recruitment over the summer was dreadful, as they failed to replace their main departures with any quality and are paying the price for it. Their response has been to enlist Rob Edwards to steady the ship and bring them to safety. Went well at Luton, didn't it...

Crystal Palace Last 5 Matches:

• Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton (H) - Premier League
• Crystal Palace 3-1 AZ Alkmaar (H) - UEFA Conference League
• Crystal Palace 2-0 Brentford (H) - Premier League
• Crystal Palace 3-0 Liverpool (A) - EFL Cup
• Crystal Palace 0-1 Arsenal (H) - Premier League

More good showing from Palace lately, who looked to have finally figured out how to turn draws into wins, until their goalless tie in their derby against Brighton. Three clean sheets in five is a number that Arsenal would be proud of and, ironically, the Gunners are the only side to have beaten Palace recently. Very convincing wins in cup competitions will be great for the confidence, but their focus now will be on putting together a strong points tally in the league.

Key Players to Watch: Wolves vs Crystal Palace

Joao Gomes (Wolves): This was a difficult decision to make, not because there are lots of options, but because nobody has really been any good for Wolves this season. There's been a couple of players that have shown a bit of promise, those being Hugo Bueno and Joao Gomes. The midfielder has been pretty consistent lately and has cemented himself as quite a dependable option, offering decent defensive coverage and looking fairly creative.

Ismaila Sarr (Crystal Palace): There are plenty of exciting players to choose from in this Palace squad, but with two goals against both AZ Alkmaar and Liverpool, it's fair to say Sarr is one of their most in-form players at the moment. He offers blistering pace on the right flank and loves popping up in front of goal, making himself a massive threat for his opposing full-back.
