Nuno Espirito Santo's men have been quoted as 400/1 by bet365 to become champions in their first season back in the top flight - a feat no team has achieved since Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest won the title in 1977/78.

Should your sights be set a little lower, you can get 20/1 for a top-six finish - which would see European football return to Molineux for the first time since the 1980/81 season.

Odds are also priced at 7/4 for a top-half finish and 2/5 for a bottom-half position, while Wolves are as long as 5/1 to make an instant return to the Championship.

Bet365's Steve Freeth said: “After years of mediocrity there’s a bullishness from Wolves fans about their return to the Premier League and you sense the club aren’t returning to the top flight just to make up the numbers.”
