Your support makes all the difference.Wolves forward Diogo Jota is unavailable for Friday's visit of Premier League leaders Liverpool due to a hamstring injury.
The 22-year-old came off in last weekend's 2-0 win over Bournemouth and the severity of the issue is not yet known.
Wolves do not have any other injury worries as they look to break into the Premier League's top six.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men responded to a seven-game winless run by emerging victorious in each of their last three matches, upsetting Chelsea at Molineux before beating Newcastle at St James’ Park and Bournemouth at home.
“It makes you proud that when you have a bad moment and you get out of it, the way we did it, credit to the players - we solved it,” Nuno said.
“It doesn't mean it can't happen again, but we are ready.
“They [Liverpool] are top of the league, it says we're going to face one of the best teams in Europe. We look forward to it.”
Provisional squad: Patricio, Ruddy, Norris, Doherty, Dendoncker, Bennett, Enobakhare, Hause, Boly, Coady, Gibbs-White, Jonny, Saiss, Neves, Costa, Moutinho, Vinagre, Bonatini, Traore, Jimenez.
