Wolves prepare to entertain Crystal Palace at Molineux on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Wolves are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 6 of the 26 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Molineux was just last season, in August 2005, the Wolves carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Championship match.
