Joe Edwards, Wolves correspondent for the Express & Star, outlined his preferred line-up for the team’s game against Crystal Palace this weekend on his Twitter account @JoeEdwards_Star.
He called for Nuno Espirito Santo to go with “the XI that drove Wolves to dizzy heights last season” as the Molineux outfit aim to arrest a three-game losing sequence in all competitions.
This is how I'd go at Palace tomorrow. The XI that drove Wolves to dizzy heights last season. Let's see what they're all about again. Thoughts? #wwfc pic.twitter.com/SDiA2IUHNT

The 11 players in Edwards’ suggested line-up were indeed the players with the most gametime for Nuno’s side in 2018/19, each playing for more than 2,000 minutes. [via TransferMarkt.co.uk]
If the Wolves manager goes with the team that Edwards has picked, there will be two changes from the side that started the Europa League defeat to Braga on Thursday, with Joao Moutinho coming in for Morgan Gibbs-White in midfield and Diogo Jota replacing Patrick Cutrone in attack.
If that is the Wolves team for the game at Selhurst Park, there will be no place in the side for midfielder Romain Saiss, which would go against the wishes of these Wolves fans who have called for him to start instead of Leander Dendoncker:
Saiss in for Donc’ (he needs to find form) other than that

i don’t want Dendoncker anywhere near the team, he’s an absolute passenger, ambles around the pitch and gives the ball away countless times.

I don’t see what dendocker brings to this team. Saiss in his position please with Ruben higher up.

Only works if Neves and Coady stop occupying the same position. I'd put Saiss ahead of Dendoncker to sit
