Southampton played really well when they beat Brentford in midweek, but Wolves have impressed me for a few weeks and have turned into a really good side.
Wolves boss Bruno Lage doesn’t get enough credit for that, possibly because they don’t score too many, but they are a very tidy footballing team and the goals will come.
Lawro’s prediction: 2-1.
S-X’s prediction: This is going to be a tough game and it might be quite open too. 3-2.
S-X on Wolves’ season: Being a Wolves fan you have to be ready for ups and downs, but it feels like we are a solid Premier League club now, rather than worrying about relegation. It doesn’t feel like we are a team that is going to win anything yet, but even when we lose games it doesn’t feel like we are in danger of dropping out. At the beginning of the season I was a lot less certain about that, because we had a new manager and we didn’t know what to expect. It just shows why you have to give these things time. Lage had to find his way with a new team when he arrived, but now he is doing really well.
Can see us drawing this, and it’ll be a decent point if we do. Wolves have looked far more like the side Nuno built at the start lately, but we’ve been looking good too. Goals in this, and I think we’ll get something from it.
