Recommended bet: Draw, Both teams to score & Rodrigo Gomes to score or assist @ 18/1 with LiveScore Bet
Molineux's first Black Country derby since 2021 takes place on Sunday, when Wolves host West Brom.
Wolves won 2-0 at The Hawthorns in the FA Cup the last time the clubs met in January 2024 and after beating Sheffield United 1-0 last Sunday, they lost to Everton by the same scoreline in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
The Baggies have had a week to prepare following their 1-1 with Queens Park Rangers and began the round as one of four teams tied at the top on 14 points after seven games.
Wolves have 11 points in the Championship, albeit having played a game fewer than their rivals, but have suffered a significant injury blow ahead of Sunday's derby.
Expect a fiery atmosphere in a tie both sets of fans see as among their biggest fixtures of the season, but a draw may suit opposing head coaches Cesar Peixoto and James Morrison.

Team news
Raul Jimenez misses out for Wolves after suffering a knee injury against Everton and Adam Armstrong is expected to start in attack.
Summer signing Rafiki Said is yet to feature due to a muscle injury, but Bertrand Traore could receive more minutes after making his debut at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
A knee problem sidelines West Brom's Nolan Galves and Callum Styles may continue at right-back, with Conor Townsend on the left.
The stats
Wolves have tallied 11 points from six games, while West Brom have 14 from seven outings.
Both of Wolves' home games have featured both teams scoring, while four of the Baggies' five away games in all competitions have also seen goals from both sides.
Wolves playmaker Fer Lopez has been fouled 11 times this season, while Baggies' forward Jimmy-Jay Morgan has committed the same number of infringements.

Prediction
This game falling before the international break may persuade Peixoto and Morrison to prioritise not losing, so both may head into the three-week hiatus with a point.
That does not mean this fixture will be cagey and both of Wolves' home games this season have featured both teams scoring, including their opening 2-2 draw against Blackburn.
Both teams have also scored in four of West Brom's five away games in all competitions in 2026-27 and, while Jimenez is absent, Wolves have three other players who have scored two or more goals this season.
Among them is winger Rodrigo Gomes, who has netted twice and also provided an assist.
The Portuguese's ability to drift into space makes him a candidate to be involved in a goal.
Score prediction: Wolves 1-1 West Brom
