PREVIEW
Wolves Fans were forced to travel north to Sunderland on a Tuesday night and now its time for Sunderland to travel south, this time on a Friday. It hardly seems fair on the fans, but as SKY insist, nobody has a choice.

This game is massive and, in a nutshell, is probably the biggest game of the season, especially if Wolves are to have any chance of finishing in the Play-Offs.

Wolves have put a little decent run together and have only lost twice in the ten games Hoddle has taken charge. One was away at Wigan and the other was away to current Premiership Champions Arsenal on Saturday, a game which Wolves turned a few heads and warranted a glowing reference from Arsene Wenger.

Back to the league and Wolves go into this game on the back of two straight wins against West Ham United (4-2) and Millwall (2-1) and South Korean sensation Ki-Hyeon Seol has been making all the headlines with his explosive strikes and inspirational performances.

Seol and co will need to be on top form come 7.45 on Friday night, but a win in this game and the Play-Offs become even closer.
