Wolverhampton manager Nuno Espirito Santos is involved in the toothless performances of the first half of the game against Crystal Palace. The team has failed to score before halftime in 58 games since returning to the Premier League in 2018. Last weekend he left the Wolves ninth in the standings, under Palace for difference in purpose. The Palace was reinforced with Gary Cahill and James Tomkins, who were declared fully compatible for the match. James McCarthy also resumed education this week, while Jordan Ayew and Jack Butland are also back with the organization after an era of coronavirus self-disalrillation.

El Cádiz visits Eibar to enlarge his just return to lead after 14 years in the relegation divisions. Cadiz has only lost twice in seven rounds this season and has won all three away games. Undefeated in four matches, Cadiz surprised. Eibar’s manager, José Mendilibar, congratulated his counterpart, Alvaro Cervera, on the good start of Real Madrid. “Cadiz has a transparent plan and implements it,” Mendilibar said. “It’s hard to hurt them and they don’t feel like scoring a goal. It’s a thrill to see you, the Eibar has been undefeated for three days and has yet to win at home.
