For Wolves, a bit of a perk-up recently after some grim form – they beat Arsenal, albeit a touch fortunately, last week and then held Leicester. They’ll need to be on better form today than when they squeezed past little Chorley in the last round though.

Any kind of win at a tough venue like this could transform everything, restore them to their bright & breezy best and leave them feeling good about themselves again.

Not much need for caginess at Molineux, so let’s hope they go for it.
