Wolverhampton Wanderers host Stoke City at Molineux Stadium in the Championship, with Cesar Peixoto's side looking to build on a promising start to life back in the second tier.
Wolves have adjusted quickly to Championship football. Three wins from their last four competitive outings, including a 1-3 victory at Preston North End on August 22, suggest Peixoto has his squad pointed in the right direction as they push for an immediate return to the Premier League.
Jordan James has added a creative edge in midfield since joining on loan from Rennes. The Wales international scored 11 goals for Leicester City last season and collected their Player of the Season award, giving Wolves a genuine threat through the middle.
Stoke arrive at Molineux in difficult shape. Mark Robins' side have lost three of their last four competitive matches, including a 3-1 Championship defeat to Southampton on August 22, and sit in the relegation zone heading into this fixture.
The Potters were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup midweek, losing on away goals to Hull City after a 1-1 draw, leaving Robins with little momentum to draw on ahead of the trip to Wolverhampton.
Fourth in the Championship table against a side sitting 22nd, this is a fixture that carries real weight for both clubs at contrasting ends of the division. Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch this game live.
