Premier League
Molineux Stadium
Another week, another win at West Ham. Back to the league and we've got a late kick-off.
Our trip to the West Midlands is an evening fixture and I really do mean evening.
Our hosts may be a newly promoted side, but they haven't looked like one, so far.
They've definitely been doing something right, so this will be another stern test for our depleted squad.
It's a quick turnaround for a must-win Champions League game, so there's no respite on the horizon.
Nuno Espirito Santo was quite an unknown prospect on these shores when he joined Wolves two summers ago.
His career as a goalkeeper was largely spent on benches and in lower divisions.
Spells at Rio Ave, Valencia and Porto as a manager had some highlights, but nothing that had grabbed headlines.
Wolves had been through plenty of chaos and their coaching position had become a rotating door.
Fans could've been forgiven if they'd have thought that he was destined for a rapid exit.
The Portuguese influence at the club turned a formerly spent force into a Championship powerhouse.
An influx of expensive signings and loans transformed them and they powered to the top of the division.
Halloween saw them hit the top and they never gave it up after that, rarely slipping on the road to promotion.
99 points and 82 goals won them the title with two games to spare.
They won it well and did so with some style, playing an entertaining brand of football.
The summer saw more investment and an even larger Iberian influence.
It's paid off so far, as they've looked hard to beat and easy on the eye.
Draws against Everton, City and United suggest that they can compete with the best sides, too.
Their three losses have come against Watford, Leicester and Brighton, so a more direct game may pay dividends.
We haven't had an equivalent fixture since the 2011/12 season, so here's a different match instead:

It would be a long wait for the next all-English European final, which came in 2007/08.
Vertonghen and Rose are joined by Dier and Wanyama on the treatment table.
Diogo Jota misses out for the hosts. Neither side has any suspensions.
Lineups for each side's last league game:
Spurs: Lloris; Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Davies; Sissoko, Dier, Dembele; Lamela, Kane, Moura.
Subs: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Walker-Peters, Winks, Eriksen, Alli, Son.
League form: LWWWWL.
Wolves: Patricio; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Neves, Moutinho, Jonny; Costa, Traore; Jimenez.
Subs: Ruddy, Vinagre, Dendoncker, Gibbs-White, Jota, Cavaleiro, Bonatini.
League form: WDWWLL.
Referee: Mike Dean.
TV: Sky Sports.
We changed 10 players from our first fixture of the week to the second. How many should keep their place?
Does anyone need to be rested or rotated out and did anyone do enough for a place on the bench?
Is there anything that we need to do differently tactically for this match?
