Town have named an unchanged side for the first time this season ahead of this afternoon’s crucial home game against Wolves.

Alex Palmer, one of three ex-West Brom players in the XI, is in goal behind a back four of Axel Tuanzebe, Dara O’Shea, another former Baggie, Cameron Burgess and Conor Townsend, the other ex-Hawthorns favourite.

Skipper Sam Morsy, who started his career with hometown club Wolves, continues in central midfield alongside Jens Cajuste with the trio ahead of them, from the left, Julio Enciso, Nathan Broadhead and Ben Johnson. Liam Delap is the number nine.

Leif Davis, who missed Wednesday’s 2-1 win at Bournemouth with a leg injury, is on the bench in the league for the first time since the 1-0 win at Burton in August 2022, but Omari Hutchinson again misses out with his hamstring issue.

Wolves are also unchanged from their 1-0 victory at home to West Ham on Tuesday evening.

Town: Palmer, Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Burgess, Townsend, Johnson, Morsy (c), Cajuste, Enciso, Broadhead, Delap. Subs: Walton, Davis, Woolfenden, Phillips, Taylor, Chaplin, Philogene, Clarke, Hirst.

Wolves: Sa, Doherty, Ait-Nouri, Munetsi, Andre, J. Gomes, Strand Larsen, Agbadou, Semedo (c), Toti, Bellegarde. Subs: Johnstone, Bueno, Hee-Chan, R Gomes, Doyle, Sarabia, Forbs, Guedes, Djiga. Referee: Peter Bankes (Merseyside). VAR official: Andrew Madley.

Leejames99 added 14:41 - Apr 5 Thank goodness, Morsy is a worry but can't really just drop him I suppose. I wonder if Davis will come on in front of Townsend at some point. COYB
