Kidderminster Harriers make the short trip to Molineux on Tuesday night to replay the 3rd Round FA Cup tie which they came so close to winning on the 3rd January. WOLVES Vs KIDDERMINSTER 

This is really a game Wolves could do without. It is also a game in which the average Wolves fan would trade some local embarrassment with 3 Premiership Points against Manchester United or Liverpool, but it`s a game Wolves could do with winning to keep the confidence high.

 This game is sandwiched in the middle of a tough and daunting fixture pile-up for Dave Jones. The first leg was followed by the visit of Blackburn, Charlton Away, Tuesdays game and then Manchester United and Liverpool both head to Molineux.

 It is yet another Cup Final for the men from Kidderminster, but after their heroic efforts in the first leg, Wolves should at least show the respect they deserve and play a strong squad. Which they will.

 Some players however will be rested and it is so far unknown if Henri Camara will be available to play. The Senegal International, who missed the first game through injury is due to fly out to the African Nations Cup, but Wolves have requested that he stays for the following three league and cup games. A decision awaits.

 Jones is expected to give a starting debut to Romanian International Vio Ganea whilst Lee Naylor is expected to miss the game through injury - Oleg Luzhny is expected to replace the young left-back.

 Paul Butler could return after suspension and Ince will captain the side after missing the game at Kidderminster due to a cold.

 Losing would not be the end of the world as more important things lie in the mind of Dave Jones, but Wins breed confidence and confidence in front of goal is something Wolves are currently short of.
