Wolverhampton Wanderers will field a strong side for their FA Cup first-round trip to Wrexham on Saturday. Manager Gary O'Neil has confirmed he will not make wholesale changes for the tie, prioritising a serious challenge for the competition. The team travels to face Wrexham away on Saturday 7 November.
O'Neil told the club's official channel.
The Championship side head to the Racecourse Ground on the back of a 2-1 comeback win at Bristol City last Tuesday. Sean Neave scored twice late on to secure the three points, a result that followed a 3-0 home victory over Cardiff. Their recent form shows two wins, one draw and two losses from the last five outings, a sequence that includes a 1-1 draw with Portsmouth and a 2-1 win at Burnley, but also defeats to Watford and Bolton.
Team news and selection
O'Neil indicated he has a fully fit squad to choose from, with no new injury concerns reported after the midweek fixture. Top scorer Fer López, who has six goals in 13 appearances this season, is expected to lead the line. The manager's commitment to a strong selection suggests key figures like Ladislav Krejčí, who provided an assist in the Bristol City win and also scored in the 3-0 victory over Cardiff, will feature. In that match against Cardiff, Fer López opened the scoring, with Adam Armstrong and Krejčí adding further goals.
This match represents Wolves' first step in this season's FA Cup, a competition the club last won in 1960. A positive result would provide momentum ahead of a busy Championship schedule in November. The full fixtures list shows a return to league action shortly after the cup tie.
Kick-off at the Racecourse Ground is scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, November 7.
