Pre-game

A lot has happened since the Luton game and let's not talk about Ipswich ever again.

There were 10 changes in midweek, but only one made from the 1-1 draw last weekend - and that was enforced.

But it's a pretty major tactical change - out goes the suspended Bellegarde and in comes Toti Gomes.

'Five at the back, pace in atttaaaccck!' Well that's what Gary O'Neil will be hoping for.

I think this was the smart formation to select, you've got to keep it as tight as possible vs City.

You let them play and this could be a cricket score if they're not switched on.

The extra defensive help will give the wing-backs a little more license - especially Semedo who looks a lot more comfortable in a five.

99.9% of the country has this down as an away win banker, but remember this is Wolves - logic goes out the window.
