Predicted Wolves XI to face Brighton in the Premier League
A 2-0 defeat at the hands of Watford ended Wolverhampton Wanderers’ winning streak in the Premier League but Nuno Espirito Santo’s men will be the favourites when they make the trip to the Falmer Stadium on Saturday to face Brighton and Hove Albion.
Wolves enjoyed an unbeaten run in the month of September and Santo received the award for the Premier League manager of the month.
Brighton picked up all three points against a struggling Newcastle unit last weekend and the Seagulls will be looking to make their home advantage count on Saturday.
Team News
Nuno Santo has been very consistent with his team selection in the Premier League, fielding almost the same line-up in the nine games. Credit should go to the medical staff as well who have worked hard to keep the players fit.
There are no injuries and suspensions for Saturday’s fixture and the manager will be expected to field the same starting eleven.
Formation: 3-4-3
Manager: Nuno Espirito Santo
Predicted XI
Rui Patricio (GK)
He has been in tremendous form between the sticks since his move to the Premier League this summer and has kept four clean sheets so far.
Ryan Bennett (RCB)
He has been solid at the back and hasn’t been hesitant to put his body on the line to make the blocks.
Conor Coady (CB)
The Englishman has been the leader of the backline. Comfortable in possession and solid with his tackling, an England call-up might not be far away.
Willy Boly (LCB)
The towering Frenchman has stood strong amidst the rough challenges and has used his strength and anticipation to keep the opposition at bay.
Matt Doherty (RWB)
Perhaps one of the most balanced players in the Premier League. Should combine with Helder Costa down the right.
Ruben Neves (RCM)
The youngster has dictated proceedings in the midfield with his remarkable vision, superior game reading ability and powerful long-range shooting.
Joao Moutinho (LCM)
The Portuguese veteran has provided the perfect balance to Wolves’ midfield and he is capable of doing big things once again on Saturday.
Jonathan Otto Castro (LWB)
The Spaniard earned his international debut owing to his consistent form this season and could play a key role against Brighton.
Helder Costa (RW)
He has been a tireless worker down the right and has linked up the play effectively with Raul Jimenez and Doherty. His stocks have soared even higher since his goal on his international debut for Portugal and will hold the key to Wolves’ success on Saturday.

Diogo Jota (LW)
He doesn’t have the numbers to speak for his efforts but he has worked relentlessly down that left-hand side of the pitch.
Raul Jimenez (ST)
With two goals and three assists he has been one of the cornerstones of Wolves’ successful season so far and could play a big part on Saturday.
