Wolves v Nottingham Forest

Wolves are without suspended forward Matheus Cunha as they welcome in-form Nottingham Forest to Molineux on Monday night.

Cunha has been in brilliant form this season but is banned after he clashed with Ipswich staff on 14 December.

Nottingham Forest are on a fine run of five wins in a row and a sixth would see them move level on points with Arsenal in second.

How high can they finish this season?

Jorgen Strand Larsen has scored in six Premier League games this season but Wolves haven’t won any of them. The big striker will be hoping to end that run as he leads the line in Cunha’s absence.

Pedro Lima and Tommy Doyle also get starts – a debut for Lima – as Matt Doherty captains the side with Mario Lemina on the bench.

Doherty looks like playing at centre-back with Lima at full-back.

Wolves XI: José Sá, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Santiago Bueno, Matt Doherty, Rodrigo Gomes, João Gomes, Tommy Doyle, Pedro Lima, Hwang Hee-Chan, Gonçalo Guedes, Jørgen Strand Larsen

Nottingham Forest team news

Chris Wood leads the attack for a settled-looking Forest side captained by former Wolves man Morgan Gibbs-White. Murillo returns in defence.

Forest have 20 points more at this stage of the season than last year and are mounting a serious charge for European football.
