The Korean striker failed to assert himself last week against Spurs but will be match-fit and ready to go in the Sunday lunchtime fixture. Elsewhere, Joao Gomes has put in a series of excellent performances and scored a brace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last week. He will doubtless keep Tommy Doyle out of the starting 11. Manager Gary O&#8217;Neil was full of praise for the bullish midfielder, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LiamKeen_Star\/status\/1760657067453317572\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">saying<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;He has ability to score goals. He has enough quality and good understanding.

We can expect fullbacks Nelson Semedo and Rayan Ait-Nouri to bomb up the line to create width and Pablo Sarabia to sit just behind the strikers as an advanced playmaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Watch:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2Dm0rGhwyO4?si=urH645UtQr7rfEp1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wolves Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Black Country side are in reasonable form, completing the double against Chelsea and Spurs recently. However, their last two home games saw them lose to Manchester United and Brentford. The home form had not previously been an issue, and it is unlikely to turn into a long-term trend, but O&#8217;Neil will be mindful that the Molineux faithful have been deprived of a win in recent weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although the Blades look nailed-on for relegation, it has been matches like these that unstick the old gold side. The Yorkshire side secured their win of the season back in November at Bramall Lane in the reserve fixture, as Oliver Norwood scored a last-gasp penalty, awarded in exceptionally dubious circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/02\/20\/devastating-acl-injury-to-wolves-striker\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wolves&#8217; Enormous Target Man Suffers Third ACL Injury in Five Years<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In fact, Wolves have struggled against the low block a great deal this season. Their midfield strength lies in disrupting play and recycling it while lacking the technical creativity to unlock a dogged defence. For all the titanic wins against the top four, The Wanderers have dropped points to Crystal Palace, Luton Town and Brentford this season, which belies an inability to get through two banks of four.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In recent weeks, the West Midlands side have relied on the pace and power of Neto, in particular, to hit sides on the counter-attack, but those opportunities will be few and far between in Yorkshire on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wolves Injuries to Consider vs. Sheffield United<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The only notable injury Wolves are dealing with at the moment is the hamstring injury to Cunha.<\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wolves Predicted Lineup<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jose Sa &#8211; GK<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rayan Ait-Nouri &#8211; LB<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Toti Gomes &#8211; CB<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Max Kilman &#8211; CB<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Craig Dawson &#8211; CB<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nelson Semedo &#8211; RB<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mario Lemina &#8211; CM<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Joao Gomes &#8211; CM<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pablo Sarabia &#8211; CAM<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pedro Neto &#8211; FW<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hwang Hee-Chan &#8211; FW<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wolves currently sit 11th in the table and know that a win could potentially have them knocking on the doors of the European places as they host a Sheffield United sit rooted to the bottom of the table.
