A brief spell of promise in March has faded quickly, replaced by heavy defeats and another blank at home last weekend as their struggles continue to define a difficult campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goals have been a major issue all season, with Wolves the lowest scorers in the league and regularly failing to find the net. They have at least avoided the worst points tally in Premier League history, but remain near the bottom, and will be looking to finish strongly with a better showing at home against Sunderland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SquawkaBet\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-400x45.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-538x60.jpg 538w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-150x17.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-40x4.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunderland are still dealing with the fallout from a heavy 5-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest, a result that stunned the Stadium of Light and exposed early defensive lapses. Regis Le Bris has urged his side to raise their standards after a run of recent setbacks has dented their momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite that, they remain in the hunt for a European spot, sitting just a few points off the top seven. Defensive issues have piled up in recent weeks, but they will take confidence from a strong record against Wolves, including four straight clean sheets and back to back wins in this fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wolves-team-news\">Wolves team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolves head into their clash with Sunderland missing Sam Johnstone and Enso Gonzalez through injury, while Ladislav Krejci is a doubt after a neck issue. There is a boost with Yerson Mosquera back from suspension and expected to slot into a back three alongside Santiago Bueno and Toti Gomes, while in attack Tolu Arokodare and Hwang Hee Chan are pushing for starts as Rob Edwards weighs up his options behind Adam Armstrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sunderland-team-news\">Sunderland team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunderland are still without Romaine Mundle due to a hamstring injury, but there is hope for returns for Bertrand Traore, Jocelin Ta Bi and Nilson Angulo as they edge closer to fitness. Changes could come in defence and wide areas, with Reinildo Mandava and Chemsdine Talbi pushing for starts, while Granit Xhaka, Noah Sadiki and Habib Diarra are expected to keep their places in midfield. Up front, Wilson Isidor remains an option, but Brian Brobbey is likely to lead the line again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-season-form-amp-standings\">Season Form &amp; Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Team<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pos<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">P<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">W<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">D<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">L<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GF<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GA<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GD<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pts<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Sunderland<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12th<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">34<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">36<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">45<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-9<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">46<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Wolves<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">20th<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">34<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">23<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">24<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">62<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-38<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">17<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-head-to-head\">Head-to-Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recent-meetings\">Recent Meetings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These two have met three times in recent years, with Sunderland winning twice and one draw.
