Wolves are yet to win a game in the Premier League season
Crystal Palace are unbeaten in four matches across all competitions
Recommended bet: Crystal Palace to win
Wolves will embark on a new era when hosting Crystal Palace at Molineux on Saturday having appointed former player Rob Edwards as the club’s new manager.
Following a dismal start to the season, the home side will be determined to earn a first Premier League win but Palace are difficult opponents for anyone.
Team news
Wolves boss Edwards will not be able to call on Rodrigo Gomes for his first game in charge as the Portuguese is out with a groin problem.
Matt Doherty and Leon Chiwome are also sidelined with knee injuries but Emmanuel Agbadou is available for selection after serving a one-match ban following his sending off against Fulham.
Crystal Palace will assess key defender Marc Guehi who is a doubt with a foot injury, while Eddie Nketiah may also miss out with a thigh problem.
Cheick Doucoure and Caleb Kporha are both still absent for the visitors.
The stats
Having won three of their first five Premier League games against Crystal Palace, Wolves have now won just one of their last nine against the Eagles.
Palace have won 57% of their Premier League games against Wolves, their highest win-rate against any side they’ve faced more than 10 times.
Wolves have failed to win any of their 11 Premier League games this season.
Only seven teams have been winless in their first 12 Premier League games of a season, though three of those ultimately survived relegation (Everton 1994-95, Derby County 2000-01 and Newcastle United 2021-22).
Crystal Palace have lost their last two Premier League away games, as many as they had in their previous 18.

Prediction
There is no doubt former Wolves player Edwards will give Molineux a lift on Saturday.
Exuding positivity and enjoying a fine start to the season with Middlesbrough in the Championship, the new Wolves boss will be desperate to get off to a winning start but facing Crystal Palace is a tough first test.
The Eagles wobbled after their 18-game unbeaten run came to an end at Everton at the start of October but Oliver Glasner and his side appear to be back on track having gone four games unbeaten in all competitions.
Edwards has plenty of work to do to fix a side that has struggled all campaign under Vitor Pereira and the visit of a disciplined and organised Palace side may have come too soon.
