Trent Alexander-Arnold will be looking to keep up the fantastic distributing after recording 16 passes into the box in their last 5.

Wolves | DLDLL | 8th | Top Scorer: R. Jiménez (6)

Fans should keep hope, top aggressor Nélson Semedo has played well, recording 1.5 tackles per match in their last 5.
