Wolverhampton Wanderers go into this fixture at Molineux following a disastrous start to the season. New manager Rob Edwards has been appointed to steady the ship and will be hoping to build some momentum in his first game in charge, while Crystal Palace come into the game hoping to continue their solid start. With both teams needing points for very different reasons, this fixture has all the ingredients to be a tight, competitive contest at Molineux. Here is our Wolves predicted lineup.<\/p>\n

Wolves vs Crystal Palace as Edwards Returns To Molineux<\/h2>\n

How Wolves Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n

Last time out in the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea<\/a>, Wolves lined up in a 3-5-2 formation. Sam Johnstone started in goal with a back five of Hugo Bueno, Toti Gomes, Ladislav Krej\u010d\u00ed, Santiago Bueno, and Jackson Tchatchoua.<\/p>\n

Jo\u00e3o Gomes and Andr\u00e9 returned to the midfield alongside Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, while Hwang Hee-chan and J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen led the forward line.<\/p>\n

Wolves Recent Form And Tactics<\/h3>\n

Wolves’ recent form has been poor, with no wins in the opening 11 games and just two points on the board. Edwards has a job on his hands to turn things around.<\/p>\n

The expectation is that he will try to solidify the defence and push for more high-energy pressing, especially in the final third, as he tries to reshape the club’s identity.<\/p>\n

Injuries To Consider<\/h3>\n

During the pre-match press conference<\/a>, Edwards said: “Everyone has come back, some arriving today, and they’re OK. Doherty has progressed well, but won’t be ready for tomorrow. Bentley has an ankle issue and will be out for a couple of weeks.” Rodrigo Gomes is also unavailable due to injury.<\/p>\n
