Wolverhampton Wanderers will face Watford in the Premier League this weekend.
Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson has praised Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno on BBC Sport.
The former Liverpool and Republic of Ireland international defender has been impressed with manager Nuno sticking to the same starting lineup in the Premier League so far this season.
Lawrenson has backed the Wanderers to pick up all three points from their Premier League game against Watford at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
“Wolves, on the other hand, have looked solid even when they have not won games, and I have not seen anyone really take them apart,” Lawrenson wrote on BBC Sport about predicting a 2-0 win for Wolves.
“I like the fact Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo has named the same starting XI in all eight of their league games so far, because they are playing really well and winning games.
“It sounds a bit old-fashioned, but the more that a team plays together like that, the better the team gets. It seems to be working for Wolves at the moment anyway.”
Strong start
Wolves have been superb in the Premier League so far this campaign following their automatic promotion from the Championship at the end of last season.
Nuno’s side are seventh in the league table at the moment with 15 points from eight matches, just three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
Although Watford are a good team, playing at home will give Wolves an advantage, and one should not be surprised if the Wanderers pick up all three points from the encounter at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Wolves will head into the match against Watford on the back of a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in London in the Premier League.
