• Date – Saturday, April 13, 2024
• Kick-off Time – 03:00 pm GMT

Wolves will be bidding to enter the top half of the league table with a win over Nottingham Forest this weekend at the City Ground. They are 11th in the league standings and have recently been decimated by a number of injuries that could impact their chances of finishing in the European spot.

Gary O’Neil’s side have suffered defeats in three of their last five Premier League games which has seen them drop to 11th in the league table. A victory this weekend could change their outlook on the remaining fixtures this season and move them to 9th in the table.

They will then take on Nottingham Forest, who have been languishing in 17th position in the Premier League table. Their qualification hopes still remain alive but would require a win to ease their relegation worries. The reverse fixture behind two sides earlier this season resulted in a stalemate.
