TEAM NEWS

Wolves remain without defender Willy Boly, who is struggling with the effects of long Covid.

Pedro Neto, Jonny, Marcal and Raul Jimenez are also still sidelined, although the latter could be given clearance to return from a fractured skull on the final day of the season.

Adam Lallana's calf injury will keep him out of Sunday's match but he might be fit for the following week.

Florin Andone, Tariq Lamptey and Solomon March are long-term absentees.

Love the kick off time. I can actually watch a match without setting the alarm, and then feeling stuffed at work. So its feet up and bottles of my recent batch of Harveys Sussex Best clone,

It’s worked out better for you Down Under than it has for me. Sunday lunchtimes are never great kick off times for me; today I’m taking the kids to a high ropes activity centre so I’ll be catching up with the game via MOTD2 tonight.

Woo hoo! .... we kick off at mid day and the whole world can see us live on BBC as we tame those Wolves...
At least we hope so. I believe now that on our day we are capable of beating anybody , but will today be our day? We had a good performance and great result last week, can we string 2 together...
Faith and hope is what an Albion supporter needs . Come on lads :albion2:

Wolves without Jiminez just aren't the same and have done incredibly well to stay mid-table. This is a very winnable game for us, let's hope we've packed the shooting boots.

A proper Sunday awaits for me, Brighton game, followed by F1 race and topped off with a roast dinner :drool:

BBC1, does that mean we haven't got the usual biased anti Albion co-presenters? Instead we'll have the "I like the Albion, but......"

No chance of “the Albion”, it’ll be “Brighton” all the way - perhaps with an occasional “the Seagulls”.

Plus:
- 50% about our inability to put chances away.
- 50% about Potter being linked with Spurs.

Bookies have us as favourites again for the umpteenth time this season.

Can’t remember the last time we weren’t favourites against one of ‘the other 14’.
