Wolves go into Sunday’s derby with Albion with the long injury list showing only little signs of improving. So most of the players that stood up to the plate against Birmingham last week are likely to be asked to repeat the dose.
Albion go into the game in mid table having done better than many expected in their return to the top flight. Their good league position is largely due to an excellent run through September and October their 7 league games produced 4 wins and three draws. It’s not been such smooth running for them in November and December where they have played 8 Premier League games and recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. They have only once kept a clean sheet in a league game all season and that was their first home game against Sunderland way back in August. So they are in a healthier league position than Wolves but their current form is no better.
Wolves had an immense injury list going into last weekend’s game against Blues and there will be little change this week. Henry, Craddock, Guedioura, Doyle, Mancienne and Mouyokolo are definitely out. Christophe Berra is still troubled by the injury that he suffered when colliding with the post last week, The only bright notes are that David Jones and Matt Jarvis might be ready.
For the starting line up I will predict;
Hennessey
Zubar, Stearman, Berra, Elokobi
Edwards, Foley ,Milijas, Hunt
Ward
Ebanks Blake
That would leave Hahnemann, Jones, Fletcher and Jarvis on the bench along with some of the youth players.
Derbies are always difficult to predict as it tends to be who responds best to the atmoshphere on the day rather than who is the better team. The application Wolves showed last week will serve them well and having some good players ready to come on and make a difference in the last quarter of the game could be crucial. It will be loud and lively and worth fighting through the snow to see. One half of the Black Country will be set up for a merry Christmas come 2 o’clock on Sunday, although a sharing of the spoils would be far from a surprise.
