    TEAM NEWS
    Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill says Nathan Baker is "50-50" to play after recovering from a hamstring problem.
    Scott Wagstaff's return to training after a long-term calf problem is further good news for the Robins.
    Wolves expect to name the same side that won at Birmingham, with Newcastle loanee Mike Williamson likely to keep his spot after Saturday's debut.
    Grant Holt, on loan from Wigan until January and a late substitute at St Andrew's, could also feature.


    MATCH FACTS
    • Bristol City have lost four of their last six games at home to Wolves (D2), shipping 19 goals in the process.
    • Wolves have won nine and lost none of their last 12 games against the Robins.
    • Kieran Agard has scored more league goals against Wolves than any other opponent (4).
    • David Edwards has scored four goals from just five shots on target for Wolves this season.
    • Bristol City have won just one of their last 10 league games (D4 L5).

    WOLVES
    Wolves were four games unbeaten leading up to the October international break only to lose their next three and drop down to mid-table. A 2-0 away victory at high-flying Midlands rivals Birmingham City on Saturday has Kenny Jackett's side back on track, with sights set on going one better than last season's seventh-placed finish.

    MANAGER

    Kenny Jackett - Former Wales international and one-club man as a player who made over 400 appearances for hometown club Watford. After a first stint in management with the Hornets in 1996/97, Jackett took charge of Swansea City for three years and Millwall for six. He led Wolves to the League One title in his first season at Molineux and narrowly missed out on the Championship play-offs last term.

    STAR MAN

    Benik Afobe - Red-hot striker who has come of age over the past 15 months. A former star of the Arsenal youth team, he showed flashes of his talent in several loan moves before signing a season-long loan deal at MK Dons. With 19 goals to his name by the turn of the year in League One, Wolves agreed a £2m fee to sign him from Arsenal in January. With 20 goals in 37 games for tonight's opponents including seven so far this season, the 22-year-old is attracting Premier League interest.


    OFFICIALS
    Simon Hooper is appointed as the man in the middle. Brett Huxtable and Colin Lymer will assist him, and Nicholas Kinseley will be the fourth official.

    LAST TIME OUT

    Wolves 3-1 Bristol City (2014) - Wolves were victorious in a clash between two teams at opposing ends of the League One table seven weeks into Steve Cotterill's reign. Sam Baldock's penalty cancelled out Nouha Dicko's early opener, but Derrick Williams' unfortunate own goal shortly before half-time handed the initiative back to the hosts, who wrapped up the points through Bakary Sako's low drive 14 minutes from time.

    LAST SEASON

    Sky Bet Championship: 7th
    FA Cup: Third round replay (lost to Fulham)
    Capital One Cup: First round (lost to Northampton Town)

    DID YOU KNOW?

    Wolves are one of only three clubs to have won all four English professional leagues. Only Preston North End and Burnley have also achieved the feat.

    Prediction.

    Agard starts in place of Wilbs, and Baker is fit and starts.

    Still Cox doesn't start. He must have a broken leg or a heart condition.

    Now let's get another. We can't defend a 1-0 lead.

    Phew!

    4 points above the trapdoor and still with the pack.
    Looking on the Wolves link I posted earlier they seem to agree we deserved it - but how many times have we dominated games only to lose or draw at the death?
    I'd only be chilled if we were winning 3-0. :)
