Tommy Doyle is a character who has seen a lot change at Wolves since his arrival under Gary O’Neil, including a win against Sunday’s opponents at The Hawthorns. Now with another Black Country derby upcoming, the midfielder is desperate for another scalp.

“The last one I played in was quite eventful,” he tells The Wanderers Post. “It was a good game. Some things probably got a bit out of hand but that's what this fixture brings. It was a good one to win and we want to win again on Sunday.

“Some of us have played in this before, so, you know, we speak a lot about it. We understand the magnitude of the game and what it brings, but also we have to have a calmness going into it, we understand that.
