Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Wolves vs Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday (kick-off 12pm).
Joao Moutinho could feature for Wolves when they face Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday lunchtime.
The veteran midfielder has been out since mid-April with an ankle complaint but has returned to full training.
Defender Willy Boly will not return before next weekend's meeting with Tottenham after suffering long-term effects of Covid-19.
Brighton boss Graham Potter has no fresh selection concerns but Seagulls midfielder Adam Lallana is unlikely to return.
Lallana, who missed last weekend's 2-0 win over Leeds due to a calf issue, is not expected to be available until next weekend's clash with West Ham.
Albion remain without Tariq Lamptey (hamstring) and Solly March (knee).
Follow Wolves vs Brighton in our dedicated live match blog. Highlights will also be published on the Sky Sports digital platforms and the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel shortly after the final whistle.
The lack of praise for the way Brighton defend has gone on too long. It's time to sing about them.
In their last 15 games, Graham Potter's side have conceded just 10 goals. It's the joint-best record in the Premier League along with Chelsea for that period. Have they been fortunate in that run? Not according to the expected goals against numbers that completely align with their sensational actual record.
A big reason for their solidity is down to Lewis Dunk, who yet again was absolutely beast-like in the win over Leeds.
He is the complete package now. Apart from Ruben Dias and Harry Maguire, there isn't a better centre-back in the league on current form. That begs the question why are the likes of Conor Coady - who he'll face here - and Tyrone Mings ahead of him in the England pecking order? Gareth Southgate, who handed Dunk his only England cap, surely can't ignore these level of performances for much longer? With the lack of options in that area of the field for England, Dunk could be the surprise package when the squad is announced at the end of the month. He deserves a crack.
The 25/1 on offer from Sky Bet for him to make the 26-man squad is begging to be backed. Another clean sheet in an away win at Molineux would do his cause no harm either.
JONES KNOWS PREDICTS: 0-2
