After our fantastic 4-0 midweek win Wolves travel to Midland rivals Leicester City as Wolves try and beat High-Flying Leicester and Win the Walkers Derby.
Wolves will go into the game with confidence, however Leicester are unbeaton at home, and the Walkers Bowl has turned in to some what of a fortress for Leicester.
Both teams are sponsord by Walkers, Leicester don the famous Walkers badge on their shirt, and Wolves have the famous brand Doritos, so naturally this is the Walkers derby.
Many eyes will be on Ex-Fox Dean Sturridge who has insited he has nothing to prove when he returns to Leicester tomorrow, the Wolves striker told the E&S "Dave Bassett and Mickey Adams made a professional decision which I fully respect," said Sturridge. "They have got on with their lives at Leicester and I've got on with mine.
"Every time I cross the white line, I feel I have something to prove to everyone, including myself. But nothing specific to Leicester."
Talking about Tuesdays great performance the Brummie said "verybody was on their game on Tuesday. If you were marking players, no one would have got one under seven out of 10. It was nice to be out there in that performance.
"But it doesn't mean anything if we don't follow it up tomorrow. We've got to work as hard again. That's what is really important - we're trying to achieve something here and we cannot rest on our laurels after one game. That was a small result in the big scheme of things."
Wolves are expected to keep the same team which disposed of Preston so the expected line-up is as follows:
Murray, Irwin, Nayor, Butler(c), Lescott, Rae, Ince, Newton, Cooper, Sturridge and Blake
Travel Club coaches depart at 12 noon.
