Life is rosy at Wolves as they prepare to travel south to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend.

Bruno Lage's side are unbeaten in their last five outings in the league, with Monday evening's 2-1 win over Everton making it four wins out of their last five.

Wolves' away form has been impressive this campaign - winning at Villa Park despite trailing 2-0 with ten minutes remaining last month - which will offer the Molineux faithful encouragement as they face a Crystal Palace side in similarly good form.

Here's how Lage could line his side up.

Jose Sa (GK) - Made some crucial stops for Wolves at key moments this season.

Max Kilman (CB) - He was on the scoresheet against Everton, but it's his defensive qualities which have served Wolves well this season.

Conor Coady (CB) - Instigates attacks from defence with his searching passes out to the wide areas.

Romain Saiss (CB) - A no-nonsense presence in the Wolves backline, aggressive in duels and excels in the air.

2. Wing-backs & midfielders

Nelson Semedo (RWB) - Responded with a fine performance against Everton after conceding the stoppage time penalty against Leeds last month.

Ruben Neves (CM) - Returned to the starting lineup against the Toffees and controlled proceedings from the heart of midfield.

Joao Moutinho (CM) - The Portugal international offers energy, getting his hands dirty to help Wolves sustain pressure in the final third.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (LWB) - Drafted into the side after Marcal suffered a thigh injury and he has made a big impression.

3. Forwards

Adama Traore (RW) - Lage seems to prefer Trincao's qualities, but the Spaniard's pace will be key in transition opportunities this weekend.

Raul Jimenez (ST) - Netted against Everton and looks back to his best after returning from a career-threatening injury.

Hwang Hee-chan (LW) - Only a VAR intervention denied the South Korean another goal for Wolves last weekend.
