They will hope to mark the Nuno Espirito Santo era with silverware, and the FA Cup is their last shot at accomplishing that in 2020/21, even at this early stage.

Wolves v Crystal Palace team news

Wolves: Raul Jimenez is beginning to work on building his fitness, but he remains a long way away from a return.

Daniel Podence, Jonny and Marcal are all out, while Leander Dendoncker and Willy Boly have struggled with injury issues and may miss out.

Crystal Palace: The injury list stands at Gary Cahill, Connor Wickham, Jeffrey Schlupp, Martin Kelly, Wayne Hennessey and Nathan Ferguson.

Christian Benteke is also a doubt after picking up a knock. Expect Michy Batshuayi to start here, while Jack Butland and Mamadou Sakho could also come into the fold.

Our prediction: Wolves v Crystal Palace

Goals may be at a premium here. Neither side will line up with a full strength XI and both would prefer to focus on their Premier League ambitions this term.

Wolves are a prime candidate for a cup run given their Premier League success in recent seasons, but the project has slowed down following Jimenez' injury.

Neither side will play expansive football, but should Palace choose to rest Wilfried Zaha or Ebere Eze, Wolves may have the edge on quality. Just.

Our prediction: Wolves 1-0 Crystal Palace
