Wolves hold a five point lead at the top of the Championship and know that they need just nine points to confirm promotion back to the Premier League.

The Black Country side picked up a massive three points against Middlesbrough last time out, where they were forced to play the last 20 minutes with just nine men.

However, they stood firm to record a memorable win and will expect another three points against Hull City at Molineux tonight.

Although, there's no doubt that the suspensions to Ruben Neves and Matt Doherty have made this a much tougher test. The Portuguese midfielder is probably the most influential player at the club whilst there seems no natural cover to Doherty in the right wing-back position.

Here we look at the XI Santo should go with...

The Wolves stopper hasn't been convincing in recent weeks but Santo isn't going to drop Ruddy at this stage of the season.

An unsung hero this season, Bennett has been dominant as the right-sided centre-back and although Santo may be considering using him as a wing-back, he should stay in his more natural position.

The captain will continue in the heart of the defence and will hope to continue his good form.

Boly was immense at Boro, as he has been most of the season, and is a guaranteed starter when available.

The big decision for Santo is who to play at right wing-back in Doherty's absence.

Bennett did it for a few cup games but they were away to top-flight opposition. At home to Hull, Wolves will be required to be on the front foot and will need an attacking threat down the flank which Bennett doesn't provide.

Therefore, academy graduate Gibbs-White should get the nod with the game too soon for Phil Ofosu-Ayeh.

The England U17 World Cup winner is more suited to central and more attacking roles but he should still be able to do a job, particularly in the final third.

With £13.5m-rated Ruben Neves suspended, N'Diaye is sure to start against his former club.

The midfielder was exhausted at the end of the Boro game but he will have to play because of the absence of his regular partner.

Another easy choice for Santo. Douglas added yet another assist to his name on Friday and will want more of the same.

After a slow start, Costa is looking like the player of old now, which is a massive worry for Hull tonight.

Cavaleiro has had an outstanding season and is sure to start with Diogo Jota still a doubt.

The DR Congo international struggled on Friday in what was a tight game but he will expect to get a few chances to score tonight.
