Wolves host Shrewsbury Town this afternoon while they aim to avoid a cup upset and extend their unbeaten run.
Rob Edwards’ side has moved through a dismal league campaign but arrives at this fixture with renewed belief following a three-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League. The Old Gold historically dominate this fixture at Molineux, and with the emergence of young talent like Mateus Mane, fans will be expecting a professional performance to secure a place in the fourth round.
Rob Edwards is expected to refresh his side but continues to deal with a significant injury list. Rodrigo Gomes, Toti Gomes, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde all remain out with various groin and hamstring issues. Furthermore, backup goalkeeper Daniel Bentley is unavailable with an ankle problem, meaning Sam Johnstone is set to start between the posts.
Notably, the manager could still name a strong attacking lineup. Hwang Hee-chan and Jørgen Strand Larsen are both in contention to start as Wolves look to exploit a Shrewsbury defence that has struggled in League Two. Youngsters Ojinnaka and Chirewa could also be handed opportunities to impress in a system that has recently shown more defensive solidity.
Wolves predicted XI: Johnstone; Ojinnaka, Bueno, Mosquera; Doherty, Andre, Lopez, Chirewa, Moller Wolfe; Strand Larsen, Hwang
