Wolves have won just one of their last nine meetings with Crystal Palace, losing six of them.
Wolves vs Crystal Palace preview
It is the start of a new era for Wolverhampton Wanderers, and they require points and quickly. During the international break, Rob Edwards was appointed the new Wolves manager, controversially ditching Middlesbrough, the side currently second in the EFL Championship. Nevertheless, as a player, Edwards made 111 appearances for Wolves, so is delighted to be back in the Black Country, but has a serious job on his hands if they are to preserve their Premier League status.
After 11 matches, Wolves sit rock-bottom of the Premier League table with just two points to their name, holding Tottenham and Brighton to 1-1 draws. They come into this clash following four successive defeats, shipping 11 goals across these matches, most recently smashed 3-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. So, one could argue that the appointment of Edwards is the club preparing for life back in the Championship, but can he lead them to a first victory of the season?
Crystal Palace meantime kick off in tenth place, struggling for consistency. Last time out, the Eagles played out a very uneventful goalless draw with fierce rivals Brighton, a match in which very little of note happened. Oliver Glasner's side have therefore won only one of their last five Premier League games, traveling to the Black Country seeking to avoid three successive away defeats.
This is the start of a crucial week for Palace. On Thursday, they will face their toughest test of the Conference League league phase, taking on Ligue 1 high-fliers Strasbourg at Stade de la Meinau, before Manchester United visit Selhurst next Sunday. So, will the Eagles leave Molineux with all three points, or can Edwards inspire Wolves to victory?

Wolves team news
Considering this is Rob Edwards' first match in charge, his lineup is impossible to predict.
Rodrigo Gomes and Matt Doherty are injured, but everyone else is available, with Emmanuel Agbadou back in contention, having served his one-match suspension at Stamford Bridge.
One would imagine those not on international duty have an advantage; José Sá could return in goal, with David Møller Wolfe, Marshall Munetsi and Tolu Arokodare among those who could come in.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace: (5-3-2): José Sá; Tchatchoua, Krejčí, Agbadou, Toti, Møller Wolfe; André, João Gomes, Munetsi; Arokodare, Strand Larsen.
Wolves player to watch vs Crystal Palace
Jørgen Strand Larsen was on target as Norway demolished Italy 4-1 at the San Siro last Sunday, while he bagged his first Premier League goal of the campaign during Wolves' most-recent home game, the 3-2 defeat to Burnley, so will he be their hero here?
Crystal Palace team news
Marc Guéhi remains a doubt due to a foot injury suffered against AZ Alkmaar, thereby not featuring for England last week, but Eddie Nketiah could be back on the bench following a hamstring issue.
So, Jaydee Canvot is set to deputise in place in Guéhi at the back, with Yéremy Pino returning to the forward line.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (3-4-3): Henderson; Richards, Canvot, Lacroix; Muñoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Yéremy, Sarr, Mateta.
Crystal Palace player to watch vs Wolves
Jean-Philippe Mateta was on target for France in Bakı last Sunday, having bagged his first goal for les Bleus in Reykjavík last month. The striker has eight club goals to his name this season, on target during two of his previous four visits to Molineux, so will he repeat that feat?
Wolves vs Crystal Palace prediction
Despite the change in management, we cannot see any other result than a Crystal Palace victory, likely to be too strong for a very poor Wolves side: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-2 Crystal Palace.
