Vitor Pereira's side are battling relegation, while Unai Emery is taking on the Champions League while trying to stay in Europe via their Premier League position.

As the teams face off tomorrow form will likely count for very little, but the key battles across the pitch could determine who comes out on top.

Matheus Cunha v Emi Martinez

If Wolves are to get anything from the game, Cunha will probably be involved.

The Brazilian is the team's talisman and most dangerous player, who has put in some disappointing performances of late.

But he has the quality to turn any game in Wolves' favour and he will certainly be up for this derby clash.
