PREVIEW: WOLVERHAMPTON v SHEFFIELD (Prem)

WOLVERHAMPTON welcome back skipper Sam Masters for tonight’s (Monday) televised Premiership clash with Sheffield at Monmore Green.

Masters takes his place in a full-strength Wolves line-up with Steve Worrall also declared fit to race after a heavy crash at Poole last week.

Sheffield hand a debut to new signing Lewis Kerr, and operate rider replacement for Adam Ellis following his injury at Cardiff last weekend.

Wolves promoter Chris Van Straaten said: “Sheffield are a team who haven’t quite got going the way some expected yet. They were many people’s pre-season favourites, don’t forget.

“For me though, they’ve still got a very solid, capable side and it’s going to be a tough meeting, especially with Tobiasz Musielak seemingly wanting to prove a point every time he comes back to Monmore Green nowadays.

“It’s really pleasing to be at full strength ourselves; we’re still in a relatively strong position, but there’s still work for us to do.”

Tigers boss Simon Stead said: “A play-off place isn’t mathematically guaranteed just yet, but we know some positive results over these next few weeks will see us get that first objective completed.

“Wolverhampton is never an easy place to go to; we’ve been there twice already this season as a team and experienced two very different results.

“But this is the start of an important run, and it would be good if we could get it up and running by adding some points to the board.”

WOLVERHAMPTON: Sam Masters, Steve Worrall, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Nick Morris, Drew Kemp, Leon Flint.
SHEFFIELD: Jack Holder, Adam Ellis R/R, Lewis Kerr, Kyle Howarth, Tobiasz Musielak, Justin Sedgmen, Connor Mountain.
