Fifth-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers are seeking a third consecutive win for the first time this season.

Sheffield United, one place and one point below Wolves in the table, are aiming to make it seven away matches without defeat.

Ryan Bennett (groin) and Morgan Gibbs-White (back) continue to be assessed. Willy Boly (fractured leg) is a long-term absentee.

Sheffield United's John Egan has recovered from a calf injury and could be in contention, while Lys Mousset has recovered from a muscle problem.

On-loan goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who was ineligible to face parent club Manchester United last weekend, is available for selection.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League encounters, winning four. They last had a longer run in the top-flight in April 1973, going nine matches without defeat. 

Wolves have lost just one of their last seven league meetings with Sheff Utd (D2), with these matches played in the Championship and League One between 2008 and 2018.
