The Wolverhampton Wanderers squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Leicester City, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  In that game they had 58% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Leicester City who had 15 attempts and 8 on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Julen Lopetegui will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at The Molineux Stadium.  When playing at home this season, Wolverhampton Wanderers has notched up a tally of 8 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.  

They have had a good run of form at The Molineux Stadium recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Everton.  They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Everton, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.  

Hodgson will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches.  They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.  

They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.  

On an individual basis, Eberechi Eze will be looking to cause Wolverhampton Wanderers some problems having scored 4 goals in Crystal Palace's last 6 away games in the league.
