Wolves Team News
The Wolves headed to West London two Fridays ago with the impression that it would be a futile effort. In the first half against Brentford, Joao Gomes received a red card, and Maupay put the Bees in the lead. However, Gary O’Neil’s halftime talk seemed to have a magical effect, as Wolves equalized in the 64th minute with a precise strike from Tommy Doyle, set up by Pedro Neto.
Pedro Neto, with eight assists this season, provided Wolves with an opportunity to rectify last week’s mistakes. Gomes will be suspended, and Mario Lemina is absent for personal reasons. Boubacar Traore, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Hee-Chan Hwang are away on national team duties, while Jonny, Craig Dawson, and Hugo Bueno are injured.
Jose Sa is expected to guard the goal, Daniel Bentley is recovering, and Neto could be reintroduced into the lineup unless O’Neil decides otherwise. Wolves have been undefeated for four matches, and their unbeaten streak at Molineux extends to eight games, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Everton on December 30th.
Brentford Team News
Brentford is set to face Wolves after a drawn match, representing an improvement from their previous 4-1 defeat at home against O’Neil’s team. Despite feelings of frustration, the draw puts them in a better position, and coach Thomas Frank blames his players for the failure in the first attempt.
Key players like Rico Henry, Bryan Mbeumo, Aaron Hickey, Kevin Schade, and Kristoffer Ajer are unavailable due to injuries, while Yoane Wissa, Frank Onyeka, and Saman Ghoddos are competing in the Africa Cup of Nations. Ben Mee and Ivan Toney are suspended, but the latter will return after this match. Frank is likely to call on Vitaly Janelt as a replacement for Christian Norgaard, and there are probably no further changes in the lineup.
Although Brentford hasn’t managed to eliminate any Premier League team in the FA Cup since the 2005/06 season, they hope for a positive result after their 2-0 defeat against Wolves in April 2023. Frank aims to avoid a repeat failure in the third round, considering last year’s loss to West Ham.
