Wolves are 12th in the form table over the past five games and 15th over the past 10.
They have lost five of their past 15 games in all competitions, a significant upturn after losing 17 of their opening 21 this season.

In Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Liverpool they restricted the misfiring champions to 0.62 xG (expected goals).
Only leaders Arsenal have managed to limit Liverpool to fewer chances in open play, with 0.28 xG in the Reds’ past 16 games.
The Reds gained revenge in Friday’s 3-1 FA Cup victory.
Running stats have also improved considerably and Wolves have outrun Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Everton, West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa since the change in management.
Previously, the squad had managed it only twice, including running only 180m more than Brighton during their 1-1 draw in October.

The squad covered 113,508m in this month’s home win over Villa, the fifth highest of the season, having run 114,427m coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Arsenal at Molineux.
That was the second highest mark of the season and collectively they are running 7.8k on average higher – around an hour for a midfielder – under Edwards.
