Liam Keen's predicted Wolves XI v Sunderland
Vitor Pereira has sprung some surprises this season but in recent weeks he has also stuck with mostly the same trusted side that have been putting in better performances.


However, coming off the back of another international break, the head coach could make changes again depending on the condition players return in - as he did for the trip to Newcastle in September.
As a result, it is very hard to predict exactly what he will do on this occasion and in choosing the team, I have gone with one surprise - as Pereira has proven he is not scared of brave and bold decisions.
Sam Johnstone should keep his place in goal with his impressive displays, while I have predicted a back four again. Those four defenders should pick themselves, based on Wolves form, in Jackson Tchatchoua, Santi Bueno, Ladislav Krejci and Hugo Bueno.

If Wolves do play a back four, they are likely to play three midfielders and these again should be obvious with Andre, Joao Gomes and Marshall Munetsi all doing well of late.
Further forward, Jorgen Strand Larsen will battle with Tolu Arokodare but I expect the Norwegian to play, while Jhon Arias did not go away with Colombia and has also been doing better, meaning I would be surprised if he did not play.
The other attacking position is up for grabs, however. Hwang Hee-chan went away with South Korea and travelled all that distance, but did not play due to a calf issue. His Wolves performances have also been steady, but not clinical.
If Pereira wants to throw in a surprise, perhaps he gives a chance to Fer Lopez to shine.
