Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton is approaching the start of the League Cup in a good mood. The team of Nuno Espirito Santo played their first match in the Premier League on September 14-th. The rival was Sheffield. On the road the “wolves” won victory with a score of 0:2. In the starting 5 minutes, goals were scored by Raul Jimenez and Romain Saiss. This was enough to earn 3 points. Despite the fact that the Wolves did not play friendly matches before the start of the Premier League, they still turned out to be in good shape.

In the League Cup the team will certainly try to get as far as possible. We do not rule out that if they manage to get into the 1/8 or 1/4 finals, they will join the fight for the trophy. The forces for this will probably be, especially since Wolverhampton is not burdened with participation in European competitions.

Last season, the Wolves lost 1/8 to Aston Villa, who later made it to the final of the tournament.

We fully admit that Santa will give the opportunity to prove themselves to some reservists. Still, the opponent is not the strongest and they can afford rotation.

Stoke City

Some 4-5 years ago Stoke City played in the Premier League. Today the team can only remember these times with warmth, vegetating in the middle of the standings in the Championship. So last season the “potters” finished only in 15-th place, gaining 56 points in 46 matches.

Mike O’Neil's wards started the new championship with an away draw against Millwall (0:0). This result allowed them to extend their unbeaten streak in the Championship up to 5 fights (3 wins and 2 world outcomes). 4 out of 5 fights ended with under 2.5 total.

In the League Cup "Potters" went through Blackpool (0:0), having won only in a penalty shootout.

In the last rally of this tournament the team reached the 1/16 finals, where in the main time they parted with Crowley Town (1:1), but were defeated in a penalty shootout.
