Wolves might already be relegated from the Premier League but Rob Edwards' side isn't going down without making some noise on their way out, as they fought back from a goal down to draw Sunderland 1-1 on Saturday.
Sunderland went ahead when Nordi Mukiele thumped a corner kick home with his head in the 17th minute, but that's where the good times ended for the Black Cats. Daniel Ballard was sent off seven minutes later for pulling the hair of Tolu Arokodare. Wolves were level after 54 minutes, when Hugo Bueno whipped a corner kick onto the head of Santiago Bueno at the back post. They had a few chances late on to win the game from there (out-shot Sunderland 12-6 in the second half), but couldn't beat Robin Roefs again from near or far.

Wolves' relegation has been certain for some time but Rob Edwards' side have improved in recent months. They lost 1-0 at home to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend in a tight, tense game. Wolves could well be scrapping with Spurs for promotion in the Championship next season as they aim to make an immediate return to the Premier League.
Sunderland's first season back in the Premier League has gone swimmingly, but Regis Le Bris' side suffered their biggest defeat of the campaign as they were spanked 5-0 at home by Nottingham Forest last Friday. That result came as a huge shock but the Black Cats are still looking good for at least a top 10 finish and European qualification is still possible.
Wolves team news, focus
Sam Johnstone and Enso Medina remain out, while Ladislav Krejci is an injury doubt. Center back Yerson Mosquera is back from suspension. Wolves line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation and will keep it as tight as possible and hope Mathias Mane, Adam Armstrong and Rodrigo Gomes can cause problems on the counter.
