£15m attacker braced for start as Cunha continues role change as Wolves boss Gary O’Neil makes strong predicted XI v Crystal Palace 

Wolverhampton Wanderers are back in Premier League action on Sunday afternoon as they travel to the English capital to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Brimming with confidence after a 1-0 win over Everton and a 5-0 thrashing of Blackpool, Gary O’Neil’s side will be eager to continue the momentum.

Palace are one point above Wanderers after securing a 1-1 draw at Brentford last time out but are struggling somewhat with their attacking output.

Wolves, meanwhile, might be lacking goals in the Premier League but are putting on consistently impressive displays going forward – a notable change under the new manager.

Set up in the 4-4-1-1 formation seen of late, here are the 11 players we think O’Neil will start this weekend, as well as brief explanations for each inclusion.

1. GK – Jose Sa

Put in a brilliant display at Everton and appears to be getting back to his best.

2. RB – Matt Doherty

Scored twice midweek against Blackpool and may have forced his way into the XI for the Premier League.

3. CB – Craig Dawson

Was rested in the cup, likely with this weekend in mind.

4. CB – Max Kilman

Been the best defender so far this season and is likely to start every single game as the new skipper.

5. LB – Hugo Bueno

Came back in against Everton and could start again after a strong performance.

6. RM – Pedro Neto

Just like Dawson, the winger was allowed to rest against Blackpool. Has the chance to redeem himself this season.
