Diogo Jota and Leo Bonatini fired Nuno Espiritio Santo’s men to the summit on Saturday evening and they know victory over Preston will keep them there for another week. It was Wolves’ eighth victory of what has been a promising start to the new campaign and, with back-to-back away games on the horizon, another three points would only increase their chances of finishing October on top spot. Having lost just one of their last eight matches, Wolves are in form and will be hoping to add to their 21 goals netted so far this season.
The Opposition
After a solid season last time out, Alex Neil has continued the progress at Deepdale since his arrival during the summer. Preston arrive at Molineux unbeaten in nine matches – a run which stretches back to mid-August. They have drawn three of their last four matches however, having surrendered leads to Sunderland and Fulham in their last two outings. Leading 2-0 at half-time, Preston were pegged back to 2-2 in injury time at Craven Cottage and will look to bounce back at Molineux.
