Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
Last meeting: Wolves 0 – 2 Brentford (20th December 2025, Premier League.
Referee: Stuart Attwell
Current odds: Brentford 11/20, Wolves 19/4
Brentford come into this game looking to bounce back from their recent FA Cup exit against West Ham, where they were knocked out on penalties. Keith Andrews could welcome Reiss Nelson back into the squad on Monday night, although the Brentford boss admitted a late decision will be made on the winger’s involvement after his recent return to training. Speaking on Nelson’s fitness, Andrews said:
“Nelson is going to be part of the [training] group tomorrow. It’ll be similar to last week – we’ll see how it goes and then make a decision on his involvement.”
Rico Henry will be out for at least several weeks following a hamstring injury. Aaron Hickey, Vitaly Janelt, and Josh Dasilva remain unavailable.
Wolves also come into this game on the back of an FA Cup defeat, a 3-1 loss against Liverpool, which means that the West Midlands side will be looking to bounce back as soon as possible if they are to have any chance of avoiding relegation. Rob Edwards is hoping that José Sá will return to action after missing the FA Cup game against Liverpool. Edwards had this to say on the injury
“We’re managing his ankle; it’s still sore, but he’s done some light training, and we’re hopeful he’s available.”
Wolves have no other injury concerns.
