Wolvesvs.Nott'm Forest

The Tricky Trees made it five wins in a row last time out with their 2-0 beating of Everton, a match that all of Danilo (ankle), Ibrahim Sangare (hamstring), Ryan Yates (suspended), Murillo (muscle) and Callum Hudson-Odoi (knock) sat out.

However, Yates's ban is now over, and Santo expressed optimism over the availability of Murillo and Hudson-Odoi in his pre-game press conference, suggesting that both men could come straight back into the starting XI.

Morato's spot in defence is therefore in danger as Murillo looks to reprise his highly effective partnership with Nikola Milenkovic in front of Matz Sels, while Neco Williams and Manchester City-linked Ola Aina continue out wide.

Yates's return might also spell the end of Nicolas Dominguez's time in the first XI, as the Forest skipper should now link arms with Elliot Anderson, supposedly a transfer target for Liverpool.

An immediate recall for Hudson-Odoi would also force Ramon Sosa out of the attacking quartet, which will otherwise remain unchanged as Chris Wood, Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga work in tandem.

Wood struck his 11th goal of the top-flight season against Everton before laying on his first assist for Gibbs-White, and the New Zealand international is one goal away from scoring the most in the Premier League for Forest under one manager, eclipsing the 22 that Stan Collymore bagged under Frank Clark.

Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:

Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Yates, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
