Wolves team news
Scorer of the winner against Chelsea, Matheus Nunes is expected to shake off his knock from that game as Lopetegui is likely to name an unaltered side for Brentford's visit.
In another situation, Adama Traore, Joao Moutinho and Pablo Sarabia are lined up to replace Nunes should the need arise.
Ruben Neves and Jonny Castro are out suspended, with Sasa Kalajdzic and Chiquinho still on the sidelines, while Boubacar Traore is doubtful on account of a groin concern.

With Kristoffer Ajer and Keane Lewis-Potter to remain sidelined for another couple of weeks, Pontus Jansson picked up a thigh problem in the Newcastle defeat.
Frank may simply stick to a four-man backline in Jansson's absence and allow Yoane Wissa to return in attack alongside Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo.
