Key events
It is another opportunity to see Mateus Mane in action. He seems like the sort of player who would thrive at Brentford but I suspect he might be too expensive from them.
It’s already been a good day for Igor Thiago, who has received his first call-up for Brazil. The striker has scored 18 goals in the Premier League already to make it a fully deserved inclusion from Carlo Ancelotti.
I’ve been to four Wolves games this season and I am yet to see them lose. Must be a record. I am available if the club want to hire me.

Preamble
Plenty of the game’s finest critics assumed Brentford would be in a relegation battle with Wolves come this stage of the season. Keith Andrews, however, could go to within one point of sixth-placed Chelsea with a win over his former club tonight.
The Irishman has done incredible work after being promoted to head coach when Thomas Frank left. It shows what can happen when a club has a strong ethos and structure, allowing them to move seamlessly between coaches.
Wolves might well be bottom but they have won their past two Premier League games against Champions League-chasing Aston Villa and Liverpool no less. They will make things very difficult for the Bees, at least, having come a long way from the miserable side they were in the first half of the season.
Kick-off: 8pm GMT
