The Blades were missing Dean Henderson last week (ineligible) and John Egan (concussion) but both will be available again for the match at Molyneux.

Perhaps most importantly, in-form striker Lys Mousset has also been passed fit having come off injured following a monumental effort in last week’s 3-3 draw with Manchester United at Bramall Lane.

While Egan is available, the Blades boss admitted that his central defender may not come straight back into the starting line-up, as Wilder was impressed by the performances o Phil Jagielka last weekend.

“We should have John Egan back but he’s got to oust Jags (Jagielka) who I thought was outstanding on Sunday,” said Wilder at his pre-match press conference.

“We’ve no issues, full group travels down to Wolverhampton on Saturday for the match on Sunday.”

Wilder added: “Lys has recovered, thankfully. We all feared the worse, he’s been outstanding. Oli (McBurnie) was great when he came on scored a great goal. The subs all combined to get a deserved equaliser.

“Lys has been outstanding. When he went down … dear me. We were about to make a sub but the amount of effort he put in was unbelievable.”

Mousset has scored four Premier League goals this season, including three in his last five games.
