Sheffield Wednesday Preview: Up for the Cup (or let’s get this one out of the way)?

Wolves may need to find the balance of priorities with this trip to Hillsborough following closely on from Saturday’s victory on the road, and more pressing challenges ahead.

It should be written into EFL regulations that Wolves must play in all gold away from home. What a joy it was to see Cesar Peixoto’s side resplendent in that lovely strip on Saturday. With a packed away end at Deepdale, there was a nod to the last time Wolves played away from home in the Championship – another Lancashire trip and another all-gold display, beating Bolton Wanderers 4-0 on the way to the title back in April 2018. Halcyon days.

Anyway, we are digressing. Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup tie at Sheffield Wednesday will be an altogether more low key event following hot on the heels of a genuinely uplifting road trip. There will still be a healthy visiting contingent, given the circumstances, but far fewer than made it up to Preston on Saturday.
