Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Kevin Doyle has been named in the starting lineup to face Bristol City at Ashton Gate in League One on Saturday.

The 29-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to a host of Premier League clubs this week, including Hull City and Swansea City, but Wolves manager Kenny Jackett has drafted the Irishman into his team for the visit to the South West.

Leigh Griffiths, who netted twice in the club's 4-0 victory over Gillingham last weekend, has also retained his place in the lineup, while the remaining members from the win over the Gills have also kept their starting berths.

New signing Kevin McDonald could make his debut for the West Midlands outfit following his move from Sheffield United, with the 24-year-old being named on the bench.

Meanwhile, Bristol City boss Sean O'Driscoll has elected to make two changes to his team following their 5-4 defeat to Coventry City last week.

Derrick Williams and Jordan Wynter come into the team at the expense of Liam Fontaine and Marvin Elliot respectively, both of whom have dropped to the bench.

Bristol City: Fielding; Moloney, Flint, Williams, Cunningham; Pack, Kilkenny, Wynter, Wagstaff; Emmanuel-Thomas, Baldock

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Ikeme; Doherty, Stearman, Batth, Rickets; Ismail, Davis, Evans, Sako; Doyle, Griffiths
