Liam Keen and Nathan Judah's predicted Wolves XI vs Crystal Palace

Wolves have two games remaining and their final away fixture of the season sees them travel to take on FA Cup winners Crystal Palace.

I fully expect Vitor Pereira to play his strongest starting XI in both games and not hand any players an opportunity he feels they haven't earned.

As a result, I am predicting just one change from the team that lost to Brighton last time out.

Jose Sa in goal and the back five are unlikely to change. Rodrigo Gomes could get a chance at wing-back, but I don't think Pereira will make that switch.

The midfield two also picks itself, particularly with a lack of competition in those areas at the moment.

The front line is where the decisions come for Pereira.

Provided he is fit enough to start, I am predicting Jorgen Strand Larsen will replace Goncalo Guedes and give Wolves a focal point striker once again.

Pablo Sarabia and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are options for the number 10 roles, but I think Marshall Munetsi and Matheus Cunha will keep their place.

I think Strand Larsen is a nailed on change replacing the ineffective Goncalo Guedes.

But Vitor Pereira hinted there could be additional movement after a sub-par performance vs Brighton.

Whether this was mind games with Crystal Palace set to make several changes remains to be seen.

But I wouldn't be shocked if we see a rare start for Rodrigo Gomes and even Santiago Bueno.

However I still expect just the one change with plenty of money still to play for in the merit table.
