Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has made four changes to his starting line-up for the visit of Sunderland to Molineux in the Premier League this afternoon.

With Wanderers captain Karl Henry injured and Christophe Berra suspended, McCarthy has brought Nenad Milijas and the fit-again Ronald Zubar into the first XI, while Kevin Foley has been handed the skipper’s armband.

Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey and defender Stephen Ward are also named in the team as Marcus Hahnemann and Stephen Hunt drop to the bench.

Steve Bruce has made one adjustment from the Black Cats side that drew 2-2 against Everton on Monday, with John Mensah coming in for the injured Michael Turner - even though the Ghana defender had not yet fully recovered from a dislocated shoulder.

The Wearsiders’ record signing Asamoah Gyan, who had missed the Everton match with a thigh strain, is amongst the substitutes.

Wolverhampton: Hennessey, Zubar, Stearman, Elokobi, Ward, Foley, Mancienne, David Jones, Milijas, Jarvis, Doyle.

Subs: Hahnemann, Van Damme, Ebanks-Blake, Fletcher, Hunt, Bent, Davis.

Sunderland: Gordon, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Mensah, Bardsley, Richardson, Henderson, Cattermole, Zenden, Bent, Welbeck.

Subs: Mignolet, Malbranque, Angeleri, Da Silva, Riveros, Elmohamady, Gyan.

Referee: Michael Jones.
