The Story in 60 Seconds

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Cesar Peixoto is aiming for more goals and a positive atmosphere at Molineux when his team hosts Cardiff City on Saturday. Despite sitting fourth in the Championship following a 1-0 win against Watford, Peixoto faced boos and critical chants from supporters after rotating his starting squad 18 times across the previous four matches. A victory could elevate the club into the automatic promotion places.

Wolves scored 13 times in their first five fixtures but have managed just seven goals in their last seven matches following an injury to Raul Jimenez. Ahead of the Cardiff clash, Peixoto hopes to welcome back injured players Nasser Djiga, Rodrigo Gomes, and Fer Lopez, though left-back Ghislain Konan remains sidelined until late December.
