Fresh from their heavy five-goal thumping by Fulham, Nottingham Forest travel to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts, meanwhile, enter this contest seeking to win back-to-back top-flight matches for the first time this season after beating Burnley in midweek.
The South Korean slotted home his eighth league goal of the season on the stroke of half time to help Gary O'Neil's men claim a "massive win" at Molineux – only Erling Haaland (14), Mohamed Salah (10) and international teammate Son Heung-min (nine) have scored more Premier League goals than Wolves' No.11 so far this season.
Sitting 13th in the table, Wolves will not be looking over their shoulders any time soon as they are currently positioned 11 points clear of the relegation zone, while a victory on Saturday could see them climb into the top half and move level on points with ninth-placed West Ham United, who they will face at the London Stadium next week.
Not only did Wolves keep their first clean sheet since August in the win over Burnley, but they also extended their unbeaten run at Molineux to five matches; the last time that Wolves boasted an unbeaten home run of six games in the top flight was between January and August 2019 when they went 10 successive home fixtures without defeat.
