Both Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers could sit second in the Premier League table by the end of Friday night. Both could, in theory, even sit top.
Each outcome would require significant victories (a three-goal win for second, seven for first; Wolves would need a four- or eight-goal win respectively), but the two sides are in unique positions as the only competitors playing before the weekend.
The clash could provide something of a viewing spectacle, too, with Palace and Wolves both enjoying similar starts to the season - collecting 10 points each from six matches.
