Wolves travel having lost their last seven meetings against the West Yorkshire outfit.

Their record is one of the worst against any Championship club, but head coach Jackett is convinced the run can end this evening.

"The law of averages would say somewhere along the line we've got to start winning," said the boss.

"So if we've lost seven in a row against them then it's a good time to break that cycle and the law of averages would suggest there's a win coming for us soon.

"I don't think that sort of record can't change – I think it can change.

"It's an open division with a lot of clubs with similar resources and that makes for a close competition."

Jackett was criticised by fans on social media for making five changes for Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Reading for the first of three matches in eight days.

But he said: "When you lose there's going to be criticism. I will do (change) if I think it's the right thing."

Left-back Scott Golbourne (foot) is Wolves' only doubt.
