One match ban enabled

Championship leaders Wolves remain without defender Ruben Vinagre, who completes his three-game ban.

But Wolves boss Nuno is expected to revert to his regular Championship team, having made eight changes for the midweek FA Cup defeat at Swansea.

Nottingham Forest are still without striker Daryl Murphy (rib).

Attacker Jamie Ward is also unavailable because of injury, but centre-back Joe Worrall is back in the squad after serving a one-match suspension.

Wolves have concerns over midfielder Ruben Neves and Romain Saiss, who are both now one booking away from a two-match ban, with the next cut-off point to erase that risk still 10 matches away.

Wolves start the day 10 points clear at the top, 12 points ahead of third-placed Cardiff and 30 points better off than 15th-placed Forest.

Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo told BBC WM:

(On meeting Forest again four months on): "It was a good, tough game, but it was long ago. A lot of things have changed on both squads, including a new manager.

"I'm told he's a good manager, who will try to put his ideas on the team.

"Both teams now know more about each other. We have to respect the opponent but focus on ourselves, knowing that we have to go for the game."

Nottingham Forest manager Aitor Karanka told BBC Nottingham Sport:

"We need to forget the opponent and, to grow, we need to think about ourselves.

"If we go to Wolves thinking 'they are top of the table and it is going to be impossible to win' then it is better to stay at home. And I haven't come here to stay at home. I have come here to win games and improve the team as much as possible.

"I am really pleased for Nuno. I have known him for a few years and he has done a great job."
