Brighton & Hove Albion are unbeaten in seven Premier League meetings with Wolverhampton Wanderers, winning five of them. In fact, the Seagulls have won each of their last five league games at Molineux, despite winning only one of the previous 11.
Wolves vs Brighton preview
After finally getting of the mark last weekend, can Wolverhampton Wanderers claim their first league win of the season? Vítor Pereira's team began thie campaign with five straight defeats, Wolves' worst-ever start to any league season, but the hierarchy backed the manager with a new contract.
Well, they would have felt pretty vindicated last Saturday night as the Old Gold came agonisingly close to a memorable victory. Santiago Bueno's goal had Wolves in front at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, missing numerous changes to double their advantage, only for Spurs to snatch a heartbreaking 94th minute equaliser. As a result, Pereira's team do remain bottom of the table, but did show signs of life in North London, so can they take confidence from that and pick up a victory here?
Meantime, Brighton & Hove Albion supporters enjoyed their own escapade to the capital even more last Saturday. The Seagulls fought back from a goal down to beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, with Danny Welbeck equalising with 13 minutes to play, before Maxim De Cuyper and then Welbeck again were both on target during an elongated injury time, sparking wild celebrations in the Shed End.
This means Fabian Hürzeler's team have won two, drawn two and lost two to date, their other victory coming against Manchester City, while also annoyed not to beat Tottenham, leading 2-0 before throwing two points away. Nevertheless, the Albion will need to find greater consistency if they're to qualify for Europe, which is very much the aim, certainly favourites to win at Molineux on Sunday.

Wolves team news
Vítor Pereira made nine changes to his Premier League lineup ahead of last weekend's visit to Tottenham, thereby likely to largely stick with that XI, given their excellent performance.
So, Wolves will once again operate out of a back four, with Jackson Tchatchoua potentially coming in for Matt Doherty at right-back, a change that was made at half time against Spurs.
Elsewhere, Sam Johnstone is set to once again be in goal, having usurped José Sá, with the two Buenos, namely Hugo and Santiago, in defence, leaving Toti and Emmanuel Agbadou on the bench.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Brighton & Hove Albion: (4-3-3): Johnstone; Tchatchoua, Krejčí, H Bueno, S Bueno; André, João Gomes, Munetsi; Arias, Hwang Hee-chan, Strand Larsen.
Wolves player to watch vs Brighton
Jørgen Strand Larsen scored 14 Premier League goals last season, yet to get off the mark in the league this time round, although he did net twice in the EFL Cup against West Ham in August, so can he fire Wolves to victory here?
Brighton team news
Similarly, there is no reason for Fabian Hürzeler to tinker with his team very much.
Having scored four at Barnsley in the EFL Cup, Diego Gómez earned a start at Chelsea, set to keep his place here while, having scored twice off the bench at Stamford Bridge, will Danny Welbeck return to attack, after Georginio Rutter led the line last weekend?
Adam Webster and Jack Hinshelwood remain sidelined, but fit again Maxim De Cuyper, who was also on target last time out, could return in place of Ferdi Kadıoğlu in defence.
Brighton & Hove Albion predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-3-3): Verbruggen; Veltman, Dunk, van Hecke, Kadıoğlu; Baleba, Ayari, Gómez; Minteh, Mitoma, Welbeck.
Brighton player to watch vs Wolves
Danny Welbeck converted a penalty at Molineux last season, one of seven career goals he has bagged against Wolves, the joint-most against any single opponent, so can he add to that here?
Wolves vs Brighton prediction
This clash is very tough to call. Brighton are often inconsistent, while Wolves were much better last weekend, so we're going for a draw: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion.
