Wolves and Brighton will battle for three points in a Premier League round seven clash on Sunday (October 5th). The game will be played at the Molineux Stadium.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a morale-boosting 1-1 draw away to Tottenham last weekend. They went ahead through Santiago Bueno's 54th-minute strike and were seemingly on course for all three points but Joao Palhinha scored an injury time equalizer to share the points.
Brighton, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 3-1 comeback away win over Chelsea. They went into the break behind to Enzo Fernandez' 24th-minute strike but their hosts were reduced to 10 men when Trevor Chalobah was sent off nine minutes into the second half. Danny Welbeck equalized with 13 minutes left on the clock. Maxim De Cuyper put the visitors ahead in injury time while Welbeck completed his brace late on.
The win saw the Seagulls climb to 10th spot in the standings, having garnered eight points from six games. Wolves are at the bottom of the standings with one point.

Wolves have had a terrible start to the season and already have relegation concerns. The West Midlands outfit registered their first point of the campaign last game but defensive frailty is a major concern, having not kept a clean sheet in their last 10 league games.
Brighton, for their part, have won on each of their last four visits to this stadium. Fabian Hürzeler's side have displayed impressive resilience, with their six points gained from losing positions standing as the highest tally in the EPL this season.
