11:02 31 August
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For week three, he takes on MOBO Award-winning drum & bass legend and producer Adam F.
Sutton's prediction: 0-0
This is the Nuno derby. Wolves fell to pieces against Chelsea, I'm slightly concerned about Wolves.
They were actually pretty comfortable against Southampton, I think they deserved to win that one.
Wolves fell to pieces, they're clearly missing Max Kilman who they sold to West Ham. I just wonder what damage that second half will do, the way Chelsea really rolled them over.

Former Premier League midfielder Michael Brown does not think Wolves have done enough business in the summer transfer window.
"I think Gary O'Neil is going to be a little disappointed with Wolves' window," said Brown on the BBC Football News Show. "I think they need a little bit more in the squad and he is going to really have to do well on the training ground.
"We know how thorough he is, how detailed he is but I think they may be caught a little bit short.
"They may be down there [the bottom of the table] to some extent, there may be some uncertainty. If he gets them anywhere away from the pack and near the middle of the table he would have done unbelievably yet again."
Wolves loan Ajax winger Forbspublished at 00:59 31 August

Wolves have signed winger Carlos Forbs on loan from Ajax.
The deal for the 20-year-old, who can play on either wing, will automatically become permanent should certain clauses be triggered.
Sporting director Matt Hobbs said: "Carlos was one we wanted to do last summer, and then Ajax made a great offer for him, and he got a great move to a huge club, and now we get the opportunity to bring him in. So, maybe it's just a year delayed.
"He’s quick and wants to run in behind. He’s technically good, with the education he had, but he’s really direct, good one versus one, will look to stretch teams and with that pace will give us something we probably haven't got.
"He's ready to go. He's been playing."

'I want the fans to be excited' about Andrepublished at 23:12 30 August

Brazilian midfielder Andre will "thrive in the Premier League" says Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs.
Andre, 23, has completed his move from Fluminense and becomes the club’s fourth Brazilian player.
Hobbs said Andre has been on the club's radar for some time, stating: "It feels like a long time in the making. He’s got the same agent as Joao Gomes and is a player we talked about when we did Joao. We hadn't been in a financial position in other windows to do it, when we were interested. It’s one that I thought we were going to miss out on, so I'm unbelievably excited to have him come and join us.
"He works hard, wins his tackles and picks up second balls. He’s physically good and we think he’ll thrive in the Premier League, similar to how Joao has. Our midfield now feels like a real strength of ours.
"I want the fans to be excited about it, but remember when Joao came across, he had six months to sit under Mario and Ruben and get used to the country and the Premier League with minutes off the bench. We've got to give players the time to settle.
"You can never have enough players that have won trophies. But it's a player that we're picking on the way up, he's not coming to having won his trophies on the way down. He's won trophies at a young age and he's still on his way up and still wants to learn and grow and commit and be part of the project."
'No-brainer to join Wolves' - Johnstonepublished at 22:49 30 August

Sam Johnstone says he's "absolutely buzzing" to have joined Wolves, following his deadline day move from Crystal Palace.
"I came up last night and did the medical so I could get on the pitch this morning. It's been good, busy but it's great to be here.
On why he joined the club, Johnstone said: "It's a massive club and to get back playing before, I've worked with Neil Cutler [goalkeeper coach] before, who I love working with and it's time to keep improving and play football.
"It's a no-brainer to come work with people that want to improve and work you."
The 31-year-old returns to the West Midlands after spending the last two years at Crystal Palace and he can't wait to be playing at Molineux: "The stadium is unbelievable, when I've played here the atmosphere has been great. I'm excited for this to be my home and play in front of the crowd."

Wolves have agreed to take Ajax winger Carlos Forbs on loan.
The club also have an option to buy the 20-year-old for 13.5m euros next summer and he adds to Gary O'Neil's squad after the sale of Pedro Neto to Chelsea.
Forbs joined Ajax from Manchester City in 2023 without making a senior appearance for City. He made 37 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring three times, and has featured in six games for Ajax this term.
Meanwhile, midfielder Andre's £21m move from Fluminense is due to be completed this evening, while winger Daniel Podence is heading to Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia for £5m and striker Fabio Silva is joining Las Palmas on loan.
Wolves would still like to bring in a centre-back before the deadline.

O'Neil on Johnstone, Andre and Podence's 'excellent offer'published at 15:27 30 August

Tyrese King BBC Sport journalist
Wolves boss Gary O'Neil has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest (15:00).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Sam Johnstone will be available to play on Saturday after his move from Crystal Palace was competed in time. O'Neil also expects goalkeeper Jose Sa to "stay and fight" rather than seek a move away.
O'Neil says a deal with Fluminese for midfielder Andre is "close".
Offering more on the deal for Andre, O'Neil said: "I think everything has gone fine but there's a few boxes to tick but I don't see any problems occurring. The midfield is a very strong area of the pitch for us already with Joao [Gomes], Mario [Lemina] and Tommy [Doyle]. Andre is an excellent talent that will add to the group, and it will fall on me to find a structure to fit them all in."
He believes Daniel Podence is leaving the club: "We worked very hard with him, there were some periods he wasn’t happy and went away on loan. He came back and worked his socks off but he has had an excellent offer for him and his family. Discussions have been on going and what is best for him and the club. That one is looking like there may be something completed."
Boubacar Traore will be out for a "few months" with a knee injury, with O'Neil stating: "He is a great guy and he will be missed. Hopefully it’s the best it can be but he’s not available for the weekend and he’ll be out for a little while."
On the away trip to the City Ground: "It’s always felt quite feisty. I would expect it to feel like a big game. For us off the back of two losses in the league and Nottingham Forest wanting to get their first home win, it’s feeling like a big game."
On Nottingham Forest: "Very compact, don’t come out of shape to press. There are loads of threats on counter-attacks, we need to make sure we don’t lose it in bad areas and make sure the structure is better than at home to Chelsea. Then we need to be ready to stand up and be counted. As always with Premier League games every facet will be tested. I have faith and belief in the lads."

Daniel Podence is close to a £5m move from Wolves to Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab.
The forward, who spent last season on loan at Olympiakos, is poised to leave Molineux with Wolves also including add-ons and a sell-on clause in the deal.
Podence made 108 appearances, scoring 16 goals, for Wolves after joining from Olympiakos in 2020.
Boss Gary O'Neil said: "Daniel is getting close to leaving. We worked very hard with him, there were some good periods and some periods he wasn't happy and went away on loan.
"He came back and worked his socks off but he has had an excellent offer for him and his family. Discussions have been ongoing on what is best for him and the club.
"That one is looking like there may be something completed."
Striker Fabio Silva is also due to join Las Palmas on a season-long loan deal.
Wolves comfortable with defensive options after Aguerd snubpublished at 12:52 30 August

Nick Mashiter BBC Sport football news reporter
Wolves remain in the market for a centre-back but it will not be West Ham's Nayef Aguerd.
There was interest from Molineux in the defender, who cost the Hammers £28m from Rennes two years ago, but he rejected them earlier in the week.
It did at least allow Wolves to move on long before deadline day and Aston Villa's Diego Carlos has been one under consideration but he is expected to stay at Villa Park, with the club having rejected an offer from Fulham earlier this month.
Wolves, though, are content with their defensive options if they are unable to bring in a centre-back to follow Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, and are poised to seal a move for Fluminense's Brazil midfielder Andre.

12:40 30 August
We asked for your views on the signing of goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who has joined Wolves from Crystal Palace on transfer deadline day.
Here are some of your comments:
Stuart: Given reports the Jose Sa may be on the move, it is a good decision so let's see.
Bob: We failed miserably in our negotiations for Ramsdale so now we need to ‘big up’ this tremendous transfer coup.
Dan: You get what you pay for, makes no sense to me unless Sa is being sold on.
Steve: Another on the cheap buy, relegation here we come.
Tom: Four-year contract for a 31-year-old who left West Bromwich Albion on a free transfer and can't get in the Palace first team. No thanks.
Darren: We need quality Premier League players to compete and stay up. Not cheap rejects.
'What happens from here will be up to the boys in the building'published at 10:32 30 August
10:32 30 August
Wolves' sporting director Matt Hobbs says Sam Johnstone will add "real competition" in the club's goalkeeping department.
Johnstone, who has made over 350 senior appearances in his career, is a fourth goalkeeper on Wolves' books.
“It's great for us to have a player with a huge amount of Premier League experience and an international goalkeeper," Hobbs said.
"For us, it's finding the right balance between the level of investment, what it adds to the squad and what it enables us to do for the rest of the squad.
“Sam’s at a good age - goalkeepers come into their prime a bit later - and what happens from here will be up to the boys in the building, but for us to be able to add someone like him is valuable.
“A squad and a team is in a much better place when there's real competition for every place. If we can add such an experienced player, who is homegrown and knows the league, and it makes the whole group more competitive, then we wouldn't turn that down in any other position, so why do we turn that down with a goalkeeper?”
What do you make of this signing, Wolves fans? Do you see him as a back-up to Jose Sa, or will he be Gary O'Neil's first choice?
What needs to happen by deadline - the fans' verdictpublished at 07:42 30 August
07:42 30 August
We asked what you have made of Wolves' transfer window so far, and what needs to be done on deadline day.
Here are some of your comments:
Dairve: I have a feeling that selling our experienced players and replacing them with green teenagers is perhaps going to end in a return to the Championship. I don't think one needs to be a soothsayer to see this coming?
John: Crazy choice to spend £10m on a goalkeeper unless Sa is leaving, especially when could have got a half-decent centre-back proposition for an extra £2m. Too little too late and will overpay for what we get.
Rhys: As Wolves' biggest problems are in defence - specifically at left-back and centre-back, I would suggest getting two of the Chelsea 'Bomb Squad' in on loan. Chilwell and Chalobah would seem ideal.
Wolfman: This summer's transfer window appears to have had a scattergun approach, best players leaving, no adequate replacements, Larsen appears the best signing but another central striker is needed. And, how many wingers do Wolves think they need?

Here's all you need to know about transfer deadline day on Friday...
When does the window close?
The transfer window will close at 23:00 BST on Friday, 30 August for the Premier League, English Football League and Scotland.
The date was brought forward by the domestic leagues to align with European leagues.
Across Europe, the Bundesliga window will close at 19:00, Ligue 1 at 22:00, La Liga at 22:59 and Serie A at 23:00, but the Saudi Pro League transfer window remains open until 7 September.
Can a Premier League player signed on deadline day play this weekend?
Under league rules, new signings are eligible for the next Premier League game if the club submit the required documents by midday on the last working day before that match.
So any player signed after 12:00 on deadline day would be unable to play in this round of Premier League fixtures.
Where can I see all the confirmed transfer deals on deadline day?
Clubs will be able to make transfers again from Wednesday, 1 January until Monday, 3 February at 23:00 GMT. This is the same in Germany, Italy, Spain and France.
How can I follow transfer deadline day on the BBC?
You will also find regular updates on BBC Radio 5 Live and breaking news across BBC Sport's social media channels, including X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
There will also be a special edition of The Football News Show on BBC iPlayer and the Red Button from 22:00 until 23:15.
'No pressure' on new signing Meupiyoupublished at 18:40 29 August
18:40 29 August
Wolves have completed the signing of teenage defender Bastien Meupiyou from Nantes.
The 18-year-old has joined on a five-year deal, which includes an additional year option.
Meupiyou, who has represented France at three different age groups, came through the ranks of the Ligue 1 side.
He made his senior debut against Marseille in Spetember 2023, but was sent off in the ninth minute, making him the second youngest player in the league's history to receive a red card.
Injury then ruled Meupiyou out for the remainder of the season, but during this pre-season he featured regularly, including against Premier League side Crystal Palace.
Sporting director Matthew Hobbs said: "Bastien's got a huge amount of potential.
"Obviously, he had some time out last season with a knee injury, so we'll take our time with him, but he has an incredibly high ceiling and we're excited to help develop him.
"He's very physical, very strong, very quick. But also, he's played lot at six, a lot at left back as well.
"It’s not often you can find a big, physical profile that comes with the ability to play on the ball and to play in all those positions.
"He fits what we think a Premier League player looks like. There's no pressure on him, he's a young boy, and we'll look forward to seeing how he develops the next couple of years."
