Wolverhampton Wanderers host Sunderland at Molineux in a Premier League clash on Saturday, with confirmed starting line-ups released ahead of kickoff. Already-relegated Wolves seek a strong finish before dropping to the Championship, while Sunderland aim for a top-half position. Both teams face recent form challenges despite historical edges.
Wolves, confirmed for relegation, welcome Sunderland to Molineux as they aim to end the season positively. The Midlands club has endured a tough campaign, failing to score in 18 Premier League games—a league high—and approaching a club-record 24 defeats. Despite three straight losses without goals and eight conceded, Wolves remain unbeaten in their last seven home league games against Sunderland (three wins, four draws), according to match preview stats from 101GreatGoals as first reported on May 2, 2026. Their starting XI features Bentley in goal, with defenders Lima, Mosquera, Bueno, and Toti, midfielders Gomes, Andre, and Mane, plus forwards Armstrong and Arokodare. Substitutes include Gracey, Doherty, Wolfe, Hwang, and others. Wolves prepare for a Championship return next season.
