West Bromwich Albion make the short trip to Molineux for the first Black Country derby of the season on Sunday (ko 12pm).
The Baggies have had their first uninterrupted week in four following Saturday's draw at home to QPR. An unfortunate own goal gave the visitors the lead against the run of play before Callum Styles' curling effort from the edge of the box levelled the match just three minutes later.
Hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers scored a last-gasp winner at Sheffield United last weekend and head into the encounter having collected 11 points from their six second-tier fixtures.
The last time the two sides met at Molineux, it was the Baggies who came out on top. In the Premier League encounter in 2021, Matheus Pereira netted a brace from the spot either side of a Semi Ajayi strike as Sam Allardyce's outfit secured a 3-2 victory.

The hosts
Wolverhampton Wanderers will be targeting an instant return to the Premier League having finished bottom of the top tier last term.
Sunday's hosts are competing in the Sky Bet Championship for the first time since winning the division in 2017/18 and are one of the favourites for promotion.
They've made a solid start to the campaign, beating Preston North End, Stoke City and Sheffield United, while drawing with Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City.
Their only league defeat so far came at the hands of another one of the teams tipped to be near the top of the table come May - West Ham United.
César Peixoto was appointed boss in the summer, taking over from Rob Edwards, who departed after less than a year at the helm. The 45-year-old from Portugal, who represented both Benfica and Porto in his playing career, is managing in England for the first time.
He has previous experience leading teams back in his homeland with the likes of Paços de Ferreira, Moreirense and Gil Vicente.
