Sports Mole previews the Championship clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley at Molineux.

Wolverhampton Wanderers head into their game with Burnley knowing that they require three points to realistically keep their chances alive of remaining in the Championship.

A defeat for Wolves would leave them open to falling three points away from safety with an inferior goal difference, but victory would see them move to within one point of opponents Burnley, who are as high as 16th in the table.

Manager Dean Saunders could welcome back Bakary Sako after the winger recovered from a hamstring injury faster than expected.

Burnley arrive at Molineux with the knowledge that a win will secure their Championship status for another season, but they are without Charlie Austin, who is out for the season after appendix surgery.

Martin Paterson could feature after coming off the bench to help his side earn a 1-1 draw with Cardiff City last weekend.
