Wolves predicted team: Will Peixoto unleash youngster after double striker blow?

Predicted Wolves team to face Burnley.

What will Cesar Peixoto do? Wolves need a response after back-to-back defeats following the international break, with the head coach facing fresh selection headaches ahead of tonight’s trip to Burnley.

Raul Jimenez is due to undergo surgery today, while fellow striker Adam Armstrong has been ruled out with a back problem, opening the door for young forward Sean Neave.

Peixoto is also without several other players, including Rodrigo Gomes, leaving him with limited options as Wolves look to get back on track.

With a demanding fixture schedule ahead, will Peixoto make further changes to his starting XI in search of a much-needed response?

Here is our predicted Wolves team after speaking with the Wolves boss on Thursday.
