Sunderland have taken 11 points from their first seven games back in the Premier League
Wolves are still winless in the league but have drawn their last two games
Recommended bet: Both teams to score
Strong home form is vital for promoted clubs seeking to establish themselves in the Premier League and Sunderland are aiming to turn the Stadium of Light into a fortress.
The Black Cats beat West Ham 3-0 and Brentford 2-1 before a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa and they also won 1-0 away to Nottingham Forest at the end of September.
Regis Le Bris and his young side will be targeting another three points when they host winless Wolves this weekend but the visitors should be encouraged by their recent draws with Tottenham and Brighton.

Prediction
Sunderland have enjoyed an excellent return to the Premier League and they kick off the eighth round of fixtures in the top half of the table, looking down on the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle.
The Black Cats have nine more points than Saturday's visitors Wolves although the underlying stats suggest the gap between the teams should be far closer.
Wolves are still waiting for their first league win of the season but they should be buoyed by impressive performances in their last two matches.
Tottenham needed a 94th-minute equaliser from Joao Palhinha to scrape a 1-1 draw in north London and Wolves were again pegged back late on in a 1-1 draw with Brighton last time out.
Sunderland, though, have precious points on the board in the survival scrap and should be able to play with freedom against the bottom club.
They have done most of their best work at home, scoring six of their seven goals at the Stadium of Light, and both teams to score looks a good bet this weekend.
Wolves have found the net in four of their last five league matches, also showcasing their attacking threat during a run to the EFL Cup round of 16.
Vitor Pereira's men beat West Ham 3-2 and Everton 2-0 at Molineux and, after their stirring display at Spurs, they should be confident of troubling Sunderland's defence on Saturday.
