Wolves manager Mick McCarthy is set to name an unchanged starting line-up. McCarthy is poised to retain the team that has started the last three games. Striker Andy Keogh retains his place in the squad after suffering no reaction to his comeback from ankle surgery when he made his return as a substitute at Bolton last weekend. Keogh is again likely to be on the bench as Wolves seek only their second win in 10 league games. Winger Michael Kightly and midfielder Dave Edwards are still sidelined. Kightly, who had ankle surgery in November, now has knee problems while Edwards is continuing his rehabilitation following an ankle operation in December. | |||||

Rio Ferdinand returns to the Manchester United starting line-up at Wolves on Saturday. Ferdinand has missed two games, plus England's midweek win over Egypt, with a back injury. However, Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed the move was only precautionary and the 31-year-old will return for the Red Devils at Molineux. A draw would take United top but Ferguson will demand all three points with leaders Chelsea in FA Cup action this week. Nani is available after suspension but Ryan Giggs (broken arm) will not be available until next weekend. Michael Owen (hamstring) is out, Wayne Rooney (knee) is doubtful. | |||||
