Wolves have had a rough start to the season in the Premier League but they did very well to hold defending champions Manchester City to a respectable 1-1 draw. They now face Championship side Sheffield Wednesday at the Hillsborough stadium in the EFL Cup.
With the high-intensity football that Nuno Espirito Santo’s men play, it is highly likely the manager makes some changes for this midweek tie. We may see some new faces who haven’t yet played in the league games.
Leander Dendoncker might still be out for this game but should be fit for the weekend. Ivan Cavaleiro remains sidelined at least until the mid-September.
Rui Patricio has been starting games for Wolves so far in the League. Expect Ruddy to get an opportunity in this league cup tie.
The Moroccan international might get his chance to play in central defence, with Ryan Bennett getting a game off.
The captain may continue to lead the team this midweek. The former Liverpool man has been superb for Wolves so far.
Boly was shaky at the start but did very well against Manchester City. Expect him to continue playing in the defence.
Doherty has been productive down the right-hand side for Wolves. He might have to improve defensively during the season.
Jonny hobbled off against City, so Vinagre might get a chance to start. However, the former will be fit for the midweek game.
The talisman of the team is still young, and so may play this game to offer drive and creativity in the midfield. Without him, Wolves would look a bit off-radar.
Joao Moutinho might get a rest for this fixture, so it will be a chance for Gibbs-White to showcase his talent.
The Brazilian might start ahead of Diogo Jota, who may get a game off.
The new signing got a chance to showcase his pace against City. Should start this game ahead of Helder Costa.
