The Midlands club sit bottom of the Premier League with just two points from their opening nine matches, and they come into this game on the back of a 3-2 defeat to Burnley. Yet, the EFL Cup has been a welcome distraction, Wolves have already beaten West Ham and Everton to reach this stage and will hope to make Molineux a fortress once again."

Enzo Maresca's men currently sit ninth in the Premier League with 14 points from nine games. The Blues edged past Lincoln City 2-1 in the third round of this competition and will be eager to bounce back before their crucial league trip to Tottenham."
