Wolves got off to a winning start in the Premier League, beating Sheffield Utd 2-0.
Stoke City played out a 0-0 draw with Millwall.
Stoke needed penalties to knock Blackpool out in the last round of the Carabao Cup.
Wolves should be good enough to beat Stoke tonight, even if a lot of their first team players get rested ahead of their Monday night fixture at Manchester City. We can expect the likes of Raul Jiminez and Adama Traore to sit this one out in the hope they can get a full rest before Monday’s game but they’ll likely be on the bench if required by Nuno Espírito Santo. Wolves fans will be hoping to see the latest of the Portuguese imports in action tonight in Fabio Silva. He made a big money move this summer and looks an exciting prospect.
Stoke had a decent end to last season, winning three and drawing one of their last four matches to guide them away from the relegation places. They now face a Wolves side who don’t concede many goals, and the Potters themselves don’t score many. Stoke have scored just once in their opening two competitive matches this season.
