Heavy snowfall and the promise of more in the West Midlands has prompted Wolves to answer questions relating to the match with Sunderland going ahead.

The suggestion had been that Sunderland’s trip to Wolves today could be in doubt.

The match at Molineux is a 3pm kick-off, but snowfall yesterday and today brought suggestions that the fixture was under threat.

Wolves staff and volunteers have worked last night to clear the stadium and its surroundings of snow and the club is advising that, at this stage, the game is expected to go ahead.

They said this morning: "This afternoon's game against Sunderland is on as things stand. Please allow plenty of time for your journeys and take care. Further details will be provided should anything change."

“At this stage, advice to fans is to start making plans to arrive as early as possible ahead of the game as the inclement weather will disrupt travel plans and will increase congestion around the stadium.

“All the normal road closures will be in place.

“Please also keep in touch with our official website, social media channels and the local media, where further updates will be posted with any new information.”

Nuno

There can’t be too many fanbases in English football quite as content and as entertained as Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters right now.

Six wins in a row, goals galore and top of the league heading into Christmas, Nuno Espirito Santo was rightfully recognised by the EFL in November and was handed the Manager of the Month award.

Last month Wanderers took apart Fulham, Reading, Leeds and Bolton under Nuno’s stewardship, though it was very much a team effort.

The defence were solid, the attack clinical and the midfield knitted it all together.

That attitude towards teamwork is quite clearly extended to Nuno’s coaching staff - as his award picture proves.

Usually a generic photo for the winner consists of him holding the award at the club’s training ground - yet where Nuno is concerned, he insisted that his coaching colleagues joined him in the picture, and so the recognition of their efforts were deservedly spotlighted.

Rui Barbosa, Antonio Dias, kitman Ron Picken, Julio Figueroa, Rui Pedro Silva and Joao Lapa all feature.

It wasn’t something that was lost on the Wanderers fans, who were delighted to see that all of the above were included, and praised Nuno.
