Wolves XI vs Brentford – Predicted lineup and team news

Wolves travel to the Gtech Community Stadium tonight, aiming to secure their third consecutive Premier League victory and continue their dramatic survival charge under Rob Edwards.

The Old Gold have moved into a positive frame of mind after picking up six points from their last six available, including a landmark win over Liverpool. Manager Rob Edwards has overseen a tactical shift prioritising defensive solidity, resulting in the division’s second-highest tackle rate per game (19.4). Wolves lost this exact fixture 5–3 last season and will be desperate for revenge to close the gap on the teams above them.

Wolves team news

Rob Edwards manages a squad returning to nearly full strength after heavy rotation during the FA Cup. Notably, goalkeeper José Sá has trained and is expected to overcome a persistent ankle issue to start tonight. Consequently, André will also return to the starting XI after serving a suspension.

Notably, André is a vital creative lynchpin, boasting a 91% pass completion rate—surpassed among midfielders only by Chelsea’s Moisés Caicedo. However, both he and João Gomes are just one booking away from double figures for the season.

José Sá will start in goal behind a projected back three of Santiago Bueno, Ladislav Krejčí, and Matt Doherty. Hugo Bueno and Joris Tchatchoua are set to provide the width at wing-back. In attack, Matheus Mane is expected to make his 14th successive start, supporting Tolu Arokodare or Sinclair Armstrong up front.

Notably, Wolves have struggled in early kick-offs but have been far more resilient in night matches, taking 11 points from 11 late games this season. Rodrigo Gomes will likely be ready to impact the game off the bench, having scored 80% of his career goals as a substitute.
