| It's a black country derby on Sunday as Wolverhampton Wanderers face West Bromwich Albion. Mick McCarthy and Roy Hodgson are both having to use their experience of relegation battles to drag their sides away from the drop zone this season, but it's Wolves who will need this victory more, with just a point between them and Bolton Wanderers. West Brom now have a six point buffer, but with six of the top seven still to play in their remaining games they can't afford to relax just yet. |

Zubar and Craddock could be fit for Wolves, but after a promising return to the side Kightly is once again out, with a return not likely until the end of the month. For West Brom returns for Graham Dorrans and top scorer Shane Long would be a boost, but Chris Brunt is still out as is Zoltan Gera. While a lot of West Brom's fortunes rest on Long, this could be an opportunity for Peter Odemwingie to recover some form - he's scored in his last two games against Wolves, but hasn't had as much success this season as last after some questions about commitment from his manager.
For Wolves Fletcher has led the line admirably, scoring a third of their league goals so far, but it's at the back where there have been difficulties. Wolves have recovered more points from losing positions than the other sides in the Premier League, but they've had to; the goal they conceded against QPR before their comeback meant that they've now kept a clean sheet in just two of 24 league games.
