With Steve Cooper under pressure ahead of his side’s trip to Molineux on Saturday, the Nottingham Forest boss would be hoping that his players could muster a performance worthy of three points against a tough Wolves side.
WOL: Sá; Toti, Dawson, Kilman; Bueno, Gomes, Lemina, Semedo; Cunha, Hwang, Sarabia
NFO: Turner; Niakhaté, Murillo, Boly; Toffolo, Kouyaté, Mangala, Yates, Williams; Gibbs-White, Elanga
With 12 minutes on the clock in Wolverhampton, it was Harry Toffolo that arrived in the box to head the visitors into the lead – nodding Neco Williams’ cross from deep past the goalkeeper to record his first goal for Nottingham Forest.

The visitors could have taken the lead again before the break through Cheikhou Kouyaté, but fine goalkeeping from Jose Sá saw him denied.
Further squandered efforts from both Anthony Elanga and Toffolo in the second half saw Forest settle for a point, frustrated in the knowledge that they could have been heading home with a much-needed victory.
