Nuno and Roy Hodgson go for the pre-match fist bump.

The players come out onto the pitch, Palace and then Wolves. Almost time for some football.

Crystal Palace have led for 316 minutes in the top flight this season, more than any other side.

Five of the nine league goals they have conceded have come in the final 15 minutes.

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says he has possibly got the strongest squad to choose from in his time at the club.

Five first-team players have returned to training after injuries or positive coronavirus tests.

"I'd like to think there's more to come because the competition is so strong now," Hodgson said.

"For the first time, really, in a very long time - possibly even the first real time since I've been here - to have such a choice that one has to pick a team.

"It's been quite often a case that the 11 or so that are fit have gone out and played every game.

"Now we've got a good competition for places and we've got some very, very good players who are not in the team at the moment who are anxious to get back into the team. "

ReindeerHotdog: I can see Neto being the main man tonight. Wolves will make it really, really difficult for Palace to impose themselves on this game and the 20 year-old winger will be told to run at Schlupp and van Aanholt as much as possible. He's going to be an absolute nuisance.

Richard: Jairo Riedewald has been the revelation of the season for Palace, like a £30m new signing

Raul Jimenez has scored 13 Premier League goals in 2020, a tally bettered only by Danny Ings (14) and Mohamed Salah (16).

The Mexican has scored two-thirds of Wolves' six league goals this season and taken 41% of their shots.

Both sides are happy out of possession. I'm just hoping someone comes out and tries to make it happen in the first half.

Last season this Roy Hodgson team was questioned but he just keeps grinding out results. He certainly knows how to set up a team.

John Bulman: no one forces you to watch football. I haven't watched any of the European matches and will probably give tonight's Premier league game a miss.

Chris, Lymm: I'm loving all this football but only because I'm bored! I think the constant changes in kick off times is definitely affecting the quality of the matches, either that or the players can't raise their game without fans! I can't wait until fans are back in stadiums and kick offs are back to normal.

Wolves have lost three of the past six league meetings, as many defeats as in the previous 13 encounters.

Crystal Palace have won three of their last five away league matches against Wolves, although they lost 2-0 at Molineux in July.

Neither team has scored more than two goals in any of the 16 top-flight meetings.

I've always suspected that if Lawro read these live texts he probably wouldn't enjoy being called former Oxford manager tbf.

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo: “Crystal Palace are a very good team, fully of talented players. Roy is a gentleman that I really admire. It will be a pleasure to be with him tomorrow again.

“I can learn a lot of things [from Hodgson]. I wish I had the chance to have a proper dinner, hours to speak and to share with Roy. He’s been a manager in so many countries, he’s seen and worked with so many different players.

"He managed big clubs; Inter, he’s managed national teams; England, Switzerland, so he has such a rich experience, I wish I could have time to share.

“But sometimes it’s not easy, even before and after the games, all these regulations are there, so it’s not easy for us as managers to share with an open mind. It has to be in a proper place with silence, and a good conversation would be amazing.”

Some sad news earlier today with the death of World Cup-winning England midfielder Nobby Stiles at the age of 78 after a long illness.

The former Manchester United player had prostate cancer and advanced dementia.

Stiles is the seventh member of the England team that started the 1966 World Cup final against West Germany to die, after captain Bobby Moore, Alan Ball, Ray Wilson, Gordon Banks, Martin Peters and Jack Charlton.

Wolves should really be heading into this game on the back of three straight wins - they conceded a late equaliser against Newcastle last weekend, when they'd done enough for the three points.

The way Newcastle were set up to try to stop Wolves is exactly what Crystal Palace will do on Friday, only the Eagles will carry a bit more of a threat at the other end.

With five goals in his first six league games, Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has already bettered his tally from last season [which was four goals in 38 league appearances]. Zaha is playing very well at the moment and will be dangerous no matter how much possession Wolves have.

I still fancy Nuno Espirito Santo's side here, though. Palace are a good hard-working team, but Wolves are not just a good side, they are a classy one.

Prediction: 2-0
