Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to Selhurst Park on May 20 in their final away game of the season. Wolves have managed to secure top-flight safety under Vítor Pereira with games to spare, a remarkable turnaround after a dismal start to the campaign. While Crystal Palace will be fresh from their FA Cup triumph against Manchester City, Wolves will be eager to end the season on a high note. Here is our Wolves predicted lineup.

In midfield, João Gomes and André have formed a reliable partnership, while Marshall Munetsi and Matheus Cunha provide creativity behind striker Jørgen Strand Larsen.
Wolves Recent Form And Tactics
Since Pereira’s appointment in December 2024, Wolves have experienced a dramatic upturn in form, collecting 32 points from 20 games, including a historic six-match winning streak that ensured their Premier League survival. The team’s defensive record has also improved significantly, with the average goals conceded dropping from 2.5 per game to 1.3

The Molineux club has seen their winning streak come to an end after a narrow defeat to Manchester City and a 2-0 loss to Brighton in their last two games. Wolves will be hoping to bounce back in their remaining fixtures and claim as many points as possible, ending the season on a high note before a potential summer rebuild.
Injuries To Consider
Strand Larsen is expected to return to the starting lineup after making an appearance from the bench against Brighton. Enso Gonzalez and Sasa Kalajdzic played a behind-closed-doors game last week, but are still not ready to play first-team football. Yerson Mosquera remains sidelined with an ACL injury. Pereira said during the pre-match press conference: “Tommy Doyle and Sam Johnstone, not big injuries, they need to clean up small issues.”
