Sunderland travel to the Black Country on Sunday as we wrap up our season - and it's another familiar picture for Steve Bruce as injuries will prompt him into fielding an unfamiliar midfield against Wolves.

After being stretchered off early on against Manchester United, David Meyler faces being out of action until Christmas with damaged cruciate knee ligaments. Meanwhile, Lee Cattermole will miss this trip after dislocating his shoulder, which means that Jack Colback may make his Premier League debut, just days after returning from his season-long loan at Ipswich.

Alan Hutton will return from suspension and should start at right back for the final time as a Sunderland player... at least, while on loan from Spurs! Mensah's season is over with the knee injury that he got last Sunday and Andy Reid remains sidelined.

Sunderland (possible): 1. Craig Gordon, 6. Alan Hutton, 4. Michael Turner, 22. Paulo Da Silva, 10. Kieran Richardson, 8. Steed Malbranque, 9. Fraizer Campbell, 16. Jordan Henderson, Jack Colback, 17. Kenwyne Jones; 11. Darren Bent

Former Sunderland boss Mick McCarthy won't know what to do with himself as he saw his Wolves side secure Premier League safety with games to spare.

Mick will be without Michael Kightly through an ankle injury, while Matt Jarvis (thigh) and Stephen Ward (knee) have a chance of being fit for Sunday - and after losing 3-1 to relegated Portsmouth last weekend, don't be sure that Wolves will field a second rate team.

Wolves (from): Hahnemann, Foley, Guedioura, Berra, Elokobi, Craddock, Mancienne, Ebanks-Blake, Zubar, Henry, Jones, Bia, Iwelumo, Doyle, Edwards, Ikeme, Stearman, Milijas.

PREVIOUSLY AT MOLINEUX
After our 5-2 win at the SOL earlier this season, we'll be hoping for more goals... and a win, after our last few visits to Molineux have ended in draws. November 2006 was our last visit there, with Jemal Johnson giving the hosts the lead just before half time, as Stephen Elliott nicked an equaliser with ten minutes to go. The prior season saw both goals come inside 60 seconds, with Elliott putting us ahead in the 12th minute, as Ki-Hyeon Seol replied quickly. Meanwhile, Robbie Keane gave Wolves a second half lead in September 1998, before Kevin Phillips grabbed the equaliser in stoppage time.

Our last win at Molineux? February 1998, with Kevin Ball grabbing the only goal of the game with two minutes to go. So there you have it - there'll be late goals, and hopefully an away win to end our season on a high.
