PREVIEW: SHEFFIELD v WOLVERHAMPTON (LC)

SHEFFIELD host Wolverhampton tonight (Thursday) in the deciding meeting of the League Cup Northern section.

The Tigers have won all three group matches so far but can still be overhauled by their opponents – who need to win on the night by four points or more, with King’s Lynn having already reached the Final from the other group.

Sheffield are back at full strength with Jack Holder returning after missing the away win at Ipswich on Monday, whilst Joe Thompson continues in the Rising Star berth for Wolves with Leon Flint on the injury list.

Tigers captain Kyle Howarth said: “We have to be careful because we know what some of their boys can do around Sheffield.

“They’ve got a really solid top five who can all score big points, but again we just need to focus on doing what we have been.

“We would love to keep the ball rolling with another win and a place in that Cup Final.”

Wolves skipper Sam Masters said: “We need to get back to winning ways, and I think we’ve got a team which is good enough to win some trophies this year.

“We’ve still got a chance of making the Final going into Thursday, so it’s not all that bad.

“We all like going to Sheffield as well so I think we definitely could do it.”

SHEFFIELD: Jack Holder, Craig Cook, Tobiasz Musielak, Kyle Howarth, Adam Ellis, Stefan Nielsen, Connor Mountain.
WOLVERHAMPTON: Sam Masters, Steve Worrall, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Nick Morris, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson.
