Wolves wish to assure fans that following a pitch inspection at Molineux by referee Richard Beeby, tonight’s Championship match against Swansea (7:45pm) is still on.

Although there is heavy snowfall in Wolverhampton, there are no plans for any further inspections ahead of the match, unless conditions dramatically worsen.

Michael Mancienne could make his Wolves debut after joining on loan, while defender Richard Stearman returns after his one-match suspension.

Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is expected to replace Carl Ikeme, who has a slight back problem.

Swansea City will be without full-back Marcos Painter, who will be out for six months with ruptured knee ligaments.

He was stretchered off during Swansea's win over Southampton, while goalkeeper Dorus De Vries (broken jaw) is out.

A brace from Sylvan Ebanks-Blake returned Wolves to the top of the table against battling Swansea.

The first came on the stroke of half-time as he twisted and turned under poor marking before firing in.

The visitors hit back as Leon Britton fed Fede Bessone, the full-back chipping a delightful cross to Darren Pratley who struck home a low shot.

With half an hour to go Ebanks-Blake again found acres of space to latch on to Carlos Edwards' cross and fire in.

The defeat was Swansea's fourth in the league - each one away from home - and ended their seven-match unbeaten run.



Both Reading and Blues lost as well.


Solid performance and very professional job. Ikeme made a few great saves, even Collins played well. ;D
Swansea were very good on the ball and are a decent team who like to play football unlike them pikeys.

Top of the league.
