The three big questions Wolves coach Nuno should fix on Friday

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ boss Nuno Espirito Santo has three big decisions to make before his side’s upcoming clash with Southampton on Saturday. What formation will Wolves play? Nuno has adjusted successfully 3-4-3 and 3-5-2 tactics over Wolves’ last 5 matches. If Pedro Neto and Diogo Jota aren’t ready to play, he’s probably going to use 3-5-2 formation, as he did against City last time. But if the Portuguese manager uses 3-4-3, then Ruben Neves is likely to be out, as Leander Dendoncker and Joao Moutinho may pair in that formation. Who plays at wing-back? There are four candidates for this position, who are starting to impress with their performances. Ruben Vinagre showed his best during 2-0 win Manchester and Matt Doherty and Jonny Castro Otto came on to finish his job. Adama Traore and Jonny were handed four days off by Nuno over the international period. Where will Adama Traore play? The 23-year-old winger has played in three positions this season, and showed his skills in the game against City, scoring both goals for Wolves. If Wolves play 3-5-2, Traore is likely to play at wing-back or upfront with Raul Jimenez. Predicted starting lineup by Birmingham Live (3-5-2): Patricio; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Traore, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Jonny; Jimenez, Cutrone
