STREAM LIVE WOLVES vs BRENTFORD
Bruno Lage got his first Premier League win as Wolves boss last time out, as they beat Watford comfortably to get their season off and running. Raul Jimenez has yet to score, but Wolves look dangerous in attack and pretty solid at the back. That’s a great combo and it looks like they’ll be just fine in the post-Nuno Espirito Santo era.
As for Brentford, they had plenty of chances against Brighton last time out but lost late on at home as Thomas Frank’s newly-promoted side were reminded of the harsh reality of life in the Premier League. That said, Brentford do have five points on the board from their first four games, so that’s pretty good going.
