I think we have it in us to keep this in single figures.

Wolves have lost 6 out of 9

Of course, we were one of the 3.

Based on today's match vs Luton, I would hope Frank looks at 4231 again with Werner and Tammy linking up. I would personally go with:

Mendy

James - Zouma - Silva - Chilwell

Mount - Gilmour

Ziyech - Werner - CHO

Tammy

 

But I expect Kovacic to come in for Gilmour (if Kante is still not fit) and probably Pulisic to get another start.

I really hope Tammy doesn't get suddenly swapped out, just keep playing him to build up confidence and form and an understanding with the others around him.

I like that line-up. Against Luton it was more a 4-4-2 with Werner having the freedom to find space left, right and centrally.

Not sure about that midfield, very light and wolves have a better midfield

Yeah, you’re right to be fair, it was quite a fluid formation with the front four.

Yeah, that does worry me, but I think they are both very gifted players, good technically and could definitely control a game. The only other way I can see that we can try and control the midfield is to play a 3 and bring in Jorginho or Kovacic who aren’t exactly in fine form at the moment. It’s definitely the problem area for us at the moment.

Can’t remember the last time we controlled the midfield 😢
