Albion are the only Premier League team without a victory in 2020 and hover just one point above the relegation places.

A 1-0 home defeat last Saturday against old rivals Crystal Palace was a huge blow for Brighton and head coach Graham Potter faces the tricky task of boosting morale before their tough assignment at Molineux Stadium.

Nuno Espírito Santo's men are sixth in the Premier League following their thrilling 3-2 triumph at Spurs and are pushing hard for a Champions League spot with 10 matches of the season remaining.

Earlier this campaign in December the two teams contested a hard-fought 2-2 draw at the Amex. Diogo Jota netted a brace for Wolves while Neal Maupay and Davy Propper were on target for Albion.

What time does Wolves v Brighton kick off? The game kicks off at 3pm at Molineux Stadium.

What’s the team news? Winger Jose Izquierdo (knee) remains the only absentee for Brighton. Shane Duffy will be available after missing the Palace match for family reasons. Alexis Mac Allister and Tariq Lamptey will also hope to force their way in the match day squad for the first time.

Wolves winger Adama Traore is a concern having dislocated his shoulder for the third time this season at Tottenham.

What are the odds? Wolves are understandably favourites to record the win at 8/13, while the draw is available at 11/4. Brighton will see this as a must win thanks to their lowly position but their odds are drifting at 19/4

Wolves' lethal attacking duo Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota are tipped to open the scoring. Jimenez is 10/3, while Jota is 11/2.

Albion's leading scorer Neal Maupay is 15/2 as is Glenn Murray. Brighton's Solly March and Aaron Mooy are both at 22/1.

A 1-0 home win is the favoured result at 6/1 and a repeat of the 2-2 draw is 18/1. Any optimistic Albion fans can get a 3-0 away win at 66/1...stranger things have happened - look at Watford vs Liverpool last week.
