  3. Sutton's predictions: Wolves v Brightonpublished at 10:02 BST 5 October

    Wolves gave it a good go against Tottenham last week and almost took all three points - maybe the effect of a new contract is kicking in for Vitor Pereira?

    Being serious, they have lost their first three home league games this season and, with Sunderland and Leeds both doing better than expected, they cannot afford to lose four on the trot, so they need something here.

    Brighton made the most of their numerical advantage against Chelsea last week, but it is hard to know what to expect from them off the back of that game where they were up against 10 men.

    I don't feel like I am doing very well with my Brighton predictions this season - in fact I've not got any of them right so far - so I am not too confident about calling this one.

    This is probably going to end up as a draw but I am still being brave so I have picked another winner. I should probably get an award for being so bold with my predictions, even when I'm wrong.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-2

  4. Wolves v Brighton: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 12:52 BST 4 October

    Wolves, who are still vying for their first Premier League win, welcome bogey team Brighton to Molineux this weekend. BBC Sport discusses some of the key talking points before Sunday's match.

    "The question is, did we win one point or lose two?" said Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira after their 1-1 draw at Tottenham last Saturday. "My answer is we lost two points because the team showed that we came here to win the game, especially in the second half."

    Wolves were agonisingly close to securing maximum points for the first time this season before Spurs equalised in the fourth minute of stoppage time and Pereira's side remain the only team in England's top five divisions without a league win.

    But the performance was very encouraging and one player in gold certainly deserved to be on the winning side.

    Winger Jhon Arias was the best player on the pitch last weekend and is starting to show why he was dubbed "The Colombian Pele" by supporters of his previous club Fluminense.

    The 27-year-old, who joined for an initial £14.7m in the summer, created the most chances, had the most touches, completed the most passes and - to highlight his all-round performance - only his team-mate and defender Santiago Bueno attempted more tackles.

    "I feel better with the team, with the ideas of the coach," said Arias this week. "It's a different league, so I'm still working to be better. My best version is coming."

    Brighton have history on their side

    Brighton will be on the road for a third successive match on Sunday and are seeking to register a hat-trick of away victories for the second time under head coach Fabian Hurzeler.

    A 6-0 EFL Cup thrashing of Barnsley was followed by a 3-1 Premier League triumph at Stamford Bridge last weekend, and recent results suggests that another win is likely this weekend.

    The south coast side have won four consecutive Premier League games at Wolves, a streak of away league wins which has only been bettered twice in the club's history. Brighton's best ever league run on the road also came at Molineux, with six victories between 1979 to 1991.

    A list of Brighton's last five results at Molineux - they have four wins and one defeat.

    The Seagulls have struggled to keep shutouts in recent months and are one of just four teams this season without a top-flight clean sheet, along with Nottingham Forest, Manchester United and their opponents Wolves. In fact, they've managed just one in their last 18 Premier League games which came away at Wolves in May.

    But despite history being on their side, Hurzeler is anticipating a tricky clash in the midlands.

    "When you only look at the results, you might think it's easy but in every game I've seen so far from them [Wolves] they have had a chance to win it," said the 32-year-old German in his pre-match press conference. "They have played good football, have looked stable out of possession, and they don't give away a lot of chances."
