After winning the Championship last year, Wolverhampton Wanderers have established themselves as a force to reckon with in the Premier League this season. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are in red-hot form currently and are unbeaten for the last five games in the top-flight, three out of which were victories.
And they must come out all guns blazing when they make the trip to Selhurst Park to face a rather inconsistent Crystal Palace side that went down 2-1 to Bournemouth in their previous outing.
One of the most impressive things about Wolves has been their levels of fitness. Barring Helder Costa, who picked up a knock in the last game, Nuno Espirito Santo will have his entire squad of players to select from.
The veteran Portuguese has been in scintillating form this season and has established himself as a reliable presence between the sticks with some crucial saves.
He has been solid and composed at the back and should start on Saturday.
He has been rock-solid at the back and has moved the ball around with his tidy passing. The former Liverpool man should be one of the first names on the teamsheet.

He has made a name for himself with his tireless contribution to the defence and the attack and there is no reason why he shouldn’t retain his place.
The youngster has been the standout performer in the midfield with his passing, long-range shooting and has contributed equally on both ends of the pitch.
He has contributed a lot with his experience and technical abilities in the midfield and he must come good on Saturday.
The Irishman has been a lively presence down the right and has impressed with his work rate and link-up play.
He might not have the numbers to speak for his performances but he has worked relentlessly in the final third.
He has shown what he can do with his lightning pace and smooth dribbling abilities. The injury to Helder Costa should open the door for him to get his first start in the Premier League this season.
The Mexican has been impressive in the final third with his ability to link the play with his teammates and has put away the chances that have come his way.
