Wolves host a rejuvenated Huddersfield Town side on Sunday, as the Terriers look to make it seven points from three games.
Huddersfield are coming off the back of a win against Fulham and a draw against West Ham United to give the Terriers' fans belief again.
Wolves drew at Arsenal 1-1 before the international break, but would have perhaps been a tad disappointed to only get a point after leading for the majority of the match.
TEAM NEWS -
Wolves are without Jonny Otto, who suffered a knee injury on Spain duty and is set to be out for up to six weeks.
But fellow wing-back Matt Doherty looks to be in contention despite a facial injury keeping him out of Ireland's last two games.
Huddersfield's Chris Lowe will be out with a shoulder injury, while Jon Gorenc Stankovic is set to replace the suspended Mathias Jorgensen.
THE MANAGERS -
Nuno Espirito Santo: "Huddersfield are a good team. I think they've improved with their last performances and results.
"We know how hard it's going to be, they have their own idea and shape."
David Wagner: "I have never spoken about targets out of the next three or five games. We go to every team and against every opponent to do our best and collect points.
"We are aware that Wolves are anything but a normal promoted team. It is a very good side, but we go to do our best and try to win. We will not get anything if we are not at our highest level."
