Predicted 3-4-3 Wolves XI to face Huddersfield Town in the Premier League
Wolverhampton Wanderers put up a spirited display against Arsenal before the international break and Nuno Espirito Santo has every reason to be happy with his team’s performance in the 1-1 draw.
Wolves currently sit 11th in the Premier League standings and the new boys will be desperate to claim three points against bottom table side Huddersfield Town to give themselves a chance of creeping back into the top ten.
Huddersfield Town are 19th in the standings but the Terriers will be high on confidence after beating Fulham and drawing with West Ham in recent weeks.
Team News
According to Birmingham Live, Nuno Santo has confirmed that right-wing back Matt Doherty has recovered from his facial injury and will be fit to play on Sunday.
