Wolves’ confirmed XI to face Nottingham Forest – Zero changes from Aston Villa

It felt highly likely that Rob Edwards would make changes tonight, given the quick turnaround.

But the Wolves manager has actually gone with an unchanged XI from the weekend.

Sam Johnstone keeps his place, and he has a three-man defence in front of him consisting of Yerson Mosquera, Emmanuel Agbadou and Toti Gomes.

Jackson Tchatchoua continues at right wing-back, with David Moller Wolfe also keeping his place on the left.

Joao Gomes and Andre are the midfield two.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Jhon Arias are supporting number 10s in behind Jorgen Strand Larsen.

There is a return to the squad for Matt Doherty, but the game has come too soon for Ladislav Krejci – who is back in light training – and Fer Lopez, who both missed out against Aston Villa with injuries.

With Doherty returning, that means Hugo Bueno misses out on a matchday squad for the first time this season.

Clearly, Edwards was pleased with what he saw against Villa despite the final result.

He will just hope that his side can be more ruthless in front of goal tonight and finally get a win on the board.
