One match ban enabled
Robert Snodgrass could come back into contention for West Brom following an epidural to treat a niggling injury.
Defender Branislav Ivanovic is again expected to miss out because of a muscle problem.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo says his side have numerous injury problems but won't say who as "clearly it will be an advantage to our opponents".
The visitors may need to assess Joao Moutinho, who sat out the defeat by Burnley
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Fack off Lawro
Wolves got taken apart by Burnley last weekend and they will definitely tighten up a lot this time.
Prediction: 1-1
Lawro's full predictions v Royal Blood drummer Ben Thatcher
West Brom have won three in a row versus Wolves, scoring a total of 10 goals
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
West Brom could record a fourth successive league win against Wolves for the first time since a six-match streak between 1929 and 1932.
Wolves are winless in nine league matches at The Hawthorns, scoring a total of three goals (D4, L5).
Their last league victory away to West Brom was by 4-2 in the second tier in September 1996 - Iwan Roberts scored a hat-trick, while Steve Bull was also on target.
West Bromwich Albion
West Brom have won two of their past four Premier League home games, as many victories as in their previous 19 top-flight fixtures at The Hawthorns.
The Baggies are vying to keep three consecutive home clean sheets in the Premier League for the first time since March 2015.
They conceded 19 goals in their first five home league matches under Sam Allardyce (3.8 per game), but have conceded just twice in their subsequent five home fixtures (0.4 per game).
West Brom have used a league-high 30 players in the top flight this season.
Sam Allardyce is unbeaten in all nine league matches as a manager against Wolves, winning seven.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves have scored three goals in the opening 15 minutes of Premier League games this season, a joint low - two of those goals came against Sheffield United in their first match of the campaign.
They could record three consecutive clean sheets in top-flight away matches for the first time since 1960.
Nine of their 11 league victories this season have been by a one-goal margin.
They are the only club not to lose a Premier League fixture this season after scoring the opening goal, winning eight of nine matches.

Looks like Boly might be out for a while:
Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo has been talking about defender Wily Boly, who missed today's game due to the effects of coronavirus.
"Wily is in a tough moment," he said.
"He was infected and was not able to train. His heart rate was very fast.
"I hope there is no other issue and he will improve but everyone has to realise, it is not one week or two it is a longer period you are affected for.
"His energy is not there, he feels tired and his heart rate is very fast. He is at home."

Yep looks like he hasn't reacted well to Covid at all.

Think today highlighted how important it is to give younger players games when the pressure is off and the season is effectively over and of course this season more than any other doing it without the added pressure of fans.
Could argue our best players today were Silva, Vitinha and Ait-Nouri.

Wouldn't argue about that, they were, with Patricio as well.

The only reason I can think for calling that back is if he thought the ball wasn't stationery... no, I don't even believe that!

Let's not kid ourselves. He called it back because he saw it as a chance to take a breather. You can see by his body language the second he gives the freekick that he has decided he is walking over to the spot.
