Wolves vs Nottingham Forest live: Score and latest updates from the Premier League

Welcome to Molineux for a game that may not be be ratings breaker but has huge implications for both sides.

Each sat in the bottom three, both Wolves and Nottingham Forest will have had this game earmarked as a golden opportunity to secure a valuable three points, with survival already looking the priority for both sides even at this early point in the campaign. 

A carousel of managers have been floated as potential successors for Bruno Lage at Wolves but the vacancy remains open meaning the task of readying the side once again falls to Steve Davis.

The under-18s head coach endured something of a baptism of fire last weekend when his side were easily beaten by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge but this looks a far more manageable task.

The key for Wolves remains solving their inability to find the back of the net. They have scored just three goals in nine league games this season and it is unclear who may be the man to alter the trend.

Davis will likely turn to Diego Costa to lead the line again this week but for all his effort and commitment to the cause, the 34-year-old looks a long way short of Premier League fitness at present. 

Whatever happens, goals will be at the top of Davis’s wish list this afternoon.

As for the visitors, Steve Cooper will have been buoyed by a performance on Monday night which ended in a 1-1 draw with similarly stricken Aston Villa. 

Emmanuel Dennis put Forest ahead and they remained in the ascendency until an Ashley Young equaliser rescued a point for Steve Gerrard’s side. 

Unlike Bruno Lage, Cooper has been backed by Forest ownership in spite of the side’s rocky start to the campaign, especially away from home.

Forest have the joint-worst away goal difference in the league at -12, having scored just once on the road this season.

Make no mistake this is a game of huge importance for both these sides – join us for full team news from 2pm.
