Crystal Palace pack their bags to visit Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Eagles will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 13 and win only 6 of the 25 games.
The previous match played between the two at Molineux was within the last three years, in March 2003, as Wolves swept to an impressive 4 - 0 win in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
If Wolves can keep their home form from the end of last season going, their fans will be delighted. From their last six games at Molineux, Glenn Hoddle's side have won four and drawn two. These high-scoring games have yielded a total of 11 goals for the Wolves, with three goals against.
Palace's away form covers the Eagles' final six matches in last season's Premiership campaign. During those games, they managed just a paltry two draws. While the Eagles hit four goals, 16 hit the back of the wrong net.
League tables count for little after just one match. However, Wolves see themselves just below half way in the Coca Cola Championship after their draw away at Southampton. Palace are near the bottom and yet to register a point after the dismal display at home to Luton.
