Wolves are without suspended striker Matheus Cunha as they welcome in-form Nottingham Forest to Molineux on Monday evening.

Cunha has been in fine form this season but was suspended after clashing with the Ipswich staff on 14 December.

Nottingham Forest is on a good run of five wins in a row, and a sixth would put them level on points with Arsenal in second place.

How high can they finish this season?

Jorgen Strand-Larsen has scored in six Premier League matches this season but Wolves have not won any of them. The great striker hopes to end this run when he leads the line in Cunha's absence.

Pedro Lima and Tommy Doyle also start – Lima's first-team debut – with Matt Doherty leading the way with Mario Lemina on the bench.

Doherty appears to be playing as a centre-back with Lima at full-back.

Wolves XI: Jose Sa, Rayan Ait Nouri, Santiago Bueno, Matt Doherty, Rodrigo Gomez, Joao Gomez, Tommy Doyle, Pedro Lima, Hwang Hee Chan, Gonzalo Guedes, Jรธrgen Strand-Larsen
