Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Shrewsbury Town to Molineux this Saturday for a classic Emirates FA Cup third-round tie, offering a welcome distraction from their Premier League struggles.
The Old Gold head into the match as overwhelming favourites, buoyed by securing their first league win of the season against West Ham United, followed by a 1-1 draw at Everton. Their opponents, Shrewsbury, currently sit 22nd in League Two, having won just four league matches this term, placing them three divisions below their top-flight hosts.

Team News and Predicted Lineups
With Wolves prioritising their Premier League survival, manager Rob Edwards is expected to rotate his squad significantly. This match presents a prime opportunity for fringe players and promising youngsters to stake a claim for more regular involvement.
One player likely to feature is in-form prospect Mateus Mane. The attacking midfielder has scored in successive league matches and could be handed a chance to lead the line against the Shrews. This fixture represents a stark contrast in fortunes, as Wolves aim to build momentum while Shrewsbury Town seek a giant-killing upset in one of football's most prestigious competitions.
