The table is so tight that the title race and the fight to survive relegation looks like going to the wire, with teams battling for Europe still also looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone.

Surrey needs to bat diligently to save the game but, on a pitch which has become mostly batter-friendly, would be disappointed not to shepherd the 174th County Championship match between these two sides to its 77th draw.

It's always an honour to be linked with these kinds of rumours, but I'm really happy here at Brighton. I'm very thankful for the trust and support the club gives me.

Wolves have not lost at home against their Midlands rivals since 2020 and generally have a decent record in this fixture when it's played at Molineux. After a slump in form Unai Emery's side are no longer looking up the table and instead have a resurgent Manchester United breathing uncomfortably down their neck.

Share Fun fact: When Bruno Guimaraes doesn't start, Newcastle tend not to win. They have only won of the 13 matches which the Brazilian midfielder has not started since his full debut in March 2022, losing six and drawing six. Today they were rocked by the news that he will miss at least eight matches with a hamstring injury.
