Wolves vs Sunderland: Line-ups confirmed for Premier League clash

Wolves welcome Sunderland to Molineux as they look to restore some pride ahead of their relegation from the Premier League.

The Midlands side already know their fate, but are keen to finish the season on a high as they prepare for a return to the Championship next season.

Sunderland, meanwhile, are still flying high in their first campaign back in the top flight, and are eyeing a top-half finish.

If they want to guarantee that, they will likely need to win today.
