Cattermole, who has missed the last two games with a heel problem, was expected to train on Friday and manager Steve Bruce will make a late decision on him.
Full-back George McCartney also has a chance of playing after shaking off a hamstring strain, while goalkeeper Marton Fulop could make the squad after five games on the sidelines with his own heel injury.
Wolves will welcome a host of star players back into the first team against Sunderland on Sunday after they were rested at Old Trafford.
Mick McCarthy will make changes to the side which lost to Manchester United in the Carling Cup in midweek.
On-loan Chelsea central defender Michael Mancienne, who was ineligible to play at Old Trafford, will return while Irish strikers Kevin Doyle and Andy Keogh are both set to come into the starting line-up at the expense of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Stefan Maierhofer.
Wales international Wayne Hennessey will return in goal to replace Marcus Hahnemann with Greg Halford taking over from Kevin Foley at right-back. Dave Edwards has also been pencilled in to return for winger Michael Kightly.
