Wolves v West Brom: Four key battles that could decide the Black Country derby | OneFootball

ExpressAndStar.com highlights four duels that could shape Sunday’s Molineux showdown, the first league meeting with fans between Wolves and Albion since 2012.

Fer Lopez is Wolves’ chief creative outlet, much of their attacking joy has run through the Spaniard this season. The task of tracking him is set to fall on Ousmane Diakite, Albion’s combative midfielder.

On Albion’s left, Isaac Price has been a major threat and that flank has already caused damage this term. James Morrison’s side are likely to field Callum Styles at right-back, an attacking left-back pressed into emergency duty.

Adam Armstrong is now certain to lead the line against his former club with Raul Jimenez sidelined. Albion will be wary of their ex-loan forward, who scored three goals in 16 appearances early in 2025, returning with intent. Nat Phillips’ battle with him could be pivotal.

Jimmy-Jay Morgan, 20, has settled quickly since joining from Chelsea and into the Championship alongside Aune Heggebo. He is Albion’s biggest goal threat. Ladislav Krejci, Wolves’ best defender, will be backed by home fans to contain the visitors’ top scorer.
