Gary O'Neil has done an extraordinary job at Wolves. Parachuted into the club five days before the start of the season, the former Bournemouth boss has galvanized the club who sit ninth in the top flight. Wolves have lost just twice since before Christmas, with forward bustler Pedro Neto's return from injury vital. O'Neil will likely shuffle his pack to include such youngsters as Tommy Doyle but he will want his side to maintain momentum after beating West Brom in the last round.
Just one point ahead in the league sit Brighton, who are enjoying another fine season after last term's annus mirabilis. Still fighting on three fronts, with a marquee Europa League last-16 tie against Roma on the horizon, the Seagulls have injury worries surrounding Kaoru Mitoma, Solly March and Joao Pedro, plus the suspended Billy Gilmour, to contend with but in-form winger Simon Adingra has returned from AFCON-winning duty in electric form as Roberto De Zerbi seeks a second successive run to the FA Cup quarter-finals.
