    Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo says he is not concerned about the future of Adama Traore

    This will be a continuation of the power, balance and refreshing look that Wolves have. They were patient at West Ham, but you saw immediately with the counter-attack and link-up of Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez, how much of a threat they can be. Pedro Neto scored off the bench but Adama Traore will start. They have the lovely midfield of Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves, and they are strong at the back, so this should be a comfortable victory.

    I did not see much of Bournemouth but what I did see made me think they looked a bit dejected. There is not enough going for them at front and they can be punished. I am sticking with Wolves for the top four and they will give it a good go. Everybody seems to be fit again, but Traore coming off the bench was just madness. He will start and cause problems.
