Nottingham Forest are currently unbeaten in six meetings with Wolverhampton Wanderers, their longest streak since 1964, last enjoying a longer sequence in December 1900.
Wolves vs Nottingham Forest preview
Can Nottingham Forest get back on track? On Sunday, Sean Dyche's side saw their mini-unbeaten streak come to an end, beaten 2-0 by Brighton at the City Ground, second best throughout. Before this, the Garibaldi Reds had put together a three match unbeaten streak, drawing with Manchester United before back-to-back wins over Leeds and Liverpool, thereby climbing out of the bottom three.
Meantime, the Tricky Trees have also collected seven points out of a possible nine in the Europa League under Dyche, most recently demolishing Malmö 3-0 on Thursday, thanks to goals from Ryan Yates, Arnaud Kalimuendo and then Nikola Milenković. While they are enjoying their European adventure, Forest's primary aim has to be to pick up Premier League points, considering they sit just one point clear of the relegation zone. With a first-ever visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium to come on Saturday, Dyche's team are firm favourites for victory in the Black Country on Wednesday night.
This though is mainly due to the fact that Wolverhampton Wanderers' wait for a first win this season continues. On Sunday, Wolves battled hard but were ultimately beaten again, this time 1-0 at Villa Park, with Aston Villa's winner a rocket, coming mid-way through the second 45.
As a result, Rob Edwards' side have now lost six successive matches, including both since his appointment, failing to score in five of these defeats. In total, Wolves have just two points on the board, so are nine points from safety already, and no team has ever survived from such an perilous position. After this, the Old Gold's remaining December opponents are Manchester United twice, Arsenal, Brentford and Liverpool, suggesting their fortunes are unlikely to improve any time soon. So, everything points towards yet another bleak evening for the home supporters at Molineux.

Wolves team news
Rob Edwards remains without Matt Doherty, Ki-Jana Hoever and Rodrigo Gomes, and has not changed very much, despite suffering defeat from both matches in charge.
Defender Ladislav Krejčí did not feature at the weekend, but the manager is hopeful that the Czech international will be able to return in time for this one.
In attack, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Jhon Arias came in for Marshall Munetsi and Tolu Arokodare at the weekend, but who knows what Edwards will do here? First-choice midfield pairing André and João Gomes would both miss Monday night's meetings with Manchester United if cautioned.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest: (5-3-2): Johnstone; Tchatchoua, Krejčí, Agbadou, Toti, Møller Wolfe; André, João Gomes, Munetsi; Arias, Strand Larsen.

Jhon Arias was eye-catching for former club Fluminense before making the move to Molineux, but is yet to score for Wolves, so can he change that fact here?
Nottingham Forest team news
Sean Dyche makes the short 55 mile trip across the Midlands without Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ola Aina, Douglas Luiz, Dilane Bakwa, Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi.
Meantime, Murillo missed the weekend defeat due to a knock sustained against Malmö, but there is optimism that the Brazilian defender could return here.
Given Wolves' lowly position, Dyche may deploy a more attacking lineup than usual, with wingers Omari Hutchinson and Callum Hudson-Odoi both hoping to come in. Lastly, Neco Williams will sit out Saturday's clash with Everton if cautioned.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-2-3-1): Sels; Savona, Milenković, Murillo, Williams; Anderson, Sangaré, Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Igor Jesus.
Nottingham Forest player to watch vs Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest prediction
We believe that Wolves' wait for a first win of the season will go on, with forest highly likely to become the latest team to leave Molineux victorious: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-2 Nottingham Forest.
