Smith’s side, who have picked up just two points from their past seven games, had 14 attempts on goal in the 1-1 draw with Newcastle United on Wednesday but needed a late header from Egyptian defender Ahmed Elmohamady to rescue a point. Wolves have won both their games since the league’s resumption and are in sixth place, two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Manchester City’s clash with league leaders Liverpool next Thursday will take place at the Etihad Stadium and not at a neutral ground, despite concerns the venue may attract supporters.
