Top Championship pundit says Wolves are guaranteed top six finish

Andy Hinchcliffe believes Wolverhampton Wanderers are guaranteed to finish in the top six of the Championship this season.

Wolves are currently two points clear of Cardiff City and Sheffield United at the top of the standings, after winning eight and drawing two of their 12 games to date.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side host fifth-placed Preston North End on Saturday and Hinchcliffe believes Wolves look good bets to mount a sustained promotion challenge.

“You don’t really see a weakness in their game,” he told Sky Sports.

“They’re playing three at the back so they’re solid defensively – they’ve got wing backs who fly forward and get crosses in.
