Wolves' relegation has been certain for some time but Rob Edwards' side have improved in recent months. They lost 1-0 at home to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend in a tight, tense game. Wolves could well be scrapping with Spurs for promotion in the Championship next season as they aim to make an immediate return to the Premier League.

Sunderland's first season back in the Premier League has gone swimmingly, but Regis Le Bris' side suffered their biggest defeat of the campaign as they were spanked 5-0 at home by Nottingham Forest last Friday . That result came as a huge shock but the Black Cats are still looking good for at least a top 10 finish and European qualification is still possible.
Wolves team news, focus
Sam Johnstone and Enso Medina remain out, while Ladislav Krejci is an injury doubt. Center back Yerson Mosquera is back from suspension. Wolves line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation and will keep it as tight as possible and hope Mathias Mane, Adam Armstrong and Rodrigo Gomes can cause problems on the counter.
Sunderland team news, focus
Romaine Mundle and Simon Moore remain out injured, while Bertrand Traore, Nilson Angulo and Jocelin Ta Bi are injury concerns. Le Bris may mix things up after the horror home defeat last week as Luke O'Nien, Wilson Isidor, Reinildo, Chemsdine Talbi and Lutsharel Geertruida could all start.
Wolves vs Sunderland prediction
This is going to be really tight but Sunderland will just about get the job done, and probably late on. Wolves 1-2 Sunderland .
