Wolves have shown great fight in their last two, beating both Liverpool and Villa. Those games were at home, though, and on the road they are winless with just 4 points all season. Brentford aren't that far off the European spots, so will be keen to win this. They are the stronger side with a quality striker in Thiago, so I think they edge this.

Thiago has been a bit quiet of late but bounced back to form last time in the FA Cup against West Ham when he netted twice. Although Wolves have done better of late, their road form is poor, so there should be goals for Brentford.

Brentford can be decent corner winners, but in several home games this season they have posted low totals. Wolves, despite their improved form, are still poor corner winners. In their last 6 games they won just 2, 0, 3, 1, 2, and 3. Getting past 10 looks a struggle.

Derby have been hugely erratic this season. They recently won three away games on the trot, culminating in a 5-0 thrashing of Bristol City, but then lost their next three away. It's not the first time they won three on the trot away but then found a dip in form. This looks like a good opportunity to bounce back against a Portsmouth side that are beginning to struggle. They have lost their last three home games, scoring just one, so I like Derby with the start

Verstappen kept himself in the title race last season despite clearly not having the best car. That speaks volumes about his skill, which should see him once again go well this season. Despite him slamming the new regulation, it should be to his benefit as he has the skills to master the new designs. The Red Bull has looked very promising in practice, so I rate him as the most likely winner.
