Wolves v Brighton: match preview

Wolves gave rare starts to several young players in Monday’s draw with West Brom and their performances may convince Nuno Espírito Santo to send them into action again on Sunday. Vitinha made a particularly strong case for inclusion even though João Moutinho is available. Brighton, who need a win to guarantee survival, will be testing opponents. The past four meetings between these clubs have resulted in draws – it would be no surprise if Sunday’s did too. Paul Doyle
