Sunderland XI vs Wolves – Predicted lineup and team news Sunderland travel to Molineux aiming to secure their first league double over Wolves since 1950. Regis Le Bris’s side sit twelfth in the table with forty-six points. They need just one more point to mathematically guarantee their Premier League survival.

However, the Black Cats have loftier ambitions as they push toward European spots. They remain only three points behind seventh-placed Bournemouth with four games left. The visitors are looking to bounce back from a humbling 5–0 loss to Forest.

That result followed a 4–3 defeat at Aston Villa in a bizarre run. Le Bris warned his players that dropping standards by even ten per cent is fatal. Despite recent defensive issues, Sunderland have the third-best rate for shots-to-goals conceded.

They have also kept a clean sheet in four straight games against Wolves. Sunderland team news Regis Le Bris confirmed that Jocelin should be available for the trip to Molineux. The winger has missed several weeks through injury but is now in contention.
