George Saville is the Brentford spy for Wolves

Midfielder George Saville could have a vital role to perform whether or not he plays for Wolves tomorrow.

Boss Kenny Jackett openly admits he has been bending the former Brentford loanee's ear as his spy in the camp in the build-up to tomorrow's game.

Any help is welcome as Wolves try to bounce back after three straight defeats and the fifth-placed Bees bid to make it five straight wins.

While Brentford have been far more active in the transfer market than Wolves since the two sides were promoted, their line-up from their 2-1 win against Fulham last time out compared to the one that lost 3-0 to the Molineux men in February still shows six common names, plus a couple on the bench.

Saville played against Wolves that day in one of his 40 League appearances for Brentford on loan from Chelsea.

And so he knows all about the Brentford back five, which shows just one change from their last encounter back in the spring, ex-Leyton Orient man Moses Odubajo at right-back for the combative Alan McCormack.

The constants are keeper David Button, centre-backs Tony Craig and Harlee Dean and left-back Jake Bidwell, plus midfielder Jonathan Douglas and winger Alan Judge.

Others well known to Wolves are Stuart Dallas, on-loan Tottenham winger Alex Pritchard, who impressed against them for Swindon last season, and seven-goal striker Andre Gray, who played in the Luton team that dumped the Molineux men out of the FA Cup to end the reign of Stale Solbakken in January 2013.

So whatever happens in west London tomorrow, Wolves can't be accused of not knowing what's to come.

"George will know a lot about going there and know a lot about quite a number of their team," said Jackett.

"I'll always speak to the players to see if they've got anything to say and whether there's any information about the opposition that can be used.

"He played a big part in their season, he did very well for Brentford and has been slightly unlucky here. The fans are very tight to the pitch and Brentford play very good football.

"They're progressive with their passing and can hurt you with it."

Saville was dropped for Dave Edwards in last week's 3-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest after earning a rare start in the 5-0 thumping at Derby.

Jackett admits the former Chelsea youngster is eager to regain his place as he battles to make his mark in a midfield that has come under scrutiny in recent games.

"I'm sure he'll be very keen to get a run in the team in his best central midfield position in a 4-3-3 – that's probably where he's most comfortable," said the boss.

"As an upcoming 21-year-old midfielder coming into the Championship, he's waiting for his chance."

Wolves go to Griffin Park in need of a boost. And they will be hoping seven-goal top scorer Bakary Sako can provide it on his 100th appearance for Wolves.

The powerful winger was one of many who were out-of-sorts against Forest.

Last week Sako was making his first appearance after playing for Mali in Namibia and Jackett believes the wideman can return to his best tomorrow.

"I'm confident in Sako," he said. "Coming back from the internationals sometimes players aren't necessarily at their best.

"He's had a full week now and with a mix of rest and some good training I'm sure he'll get back to his best."
