Wolves face home clash against lower league opponents

League One Notts County will be looking to cause an upset when they travel to Premier League Wolves in the Carling Cup. The Magpies go to Molineux for the third round clash as underdogs but have made a solid start to life in the third tier and Wolves will have to be on their guard if they want to progress. Wolves defender Steven Mouyokolo will make his debut. Mouyokolo moved from Hull City during the summer in a £2.5 million deal but has been laid low with ankle and hamstring injuries. He will be partnered by Christophe Berra who missed the 3-1 defeat at Tottenham at the weekend through suspension. Striker Marcus Bent, who is on loan from Birmingham, has been handed his first start by manager Mick McCarthy who has named his starting line-up. McCarthy has made nine changes from the side beaten at White Hart Lane with only Richard Stearman and Kevin Foley retaining their places. Ricky Ravenhill will miss out for Notts County. The midfielder collected his fifth yellow card of the season during the 3-2 league win over Leyton Orient on Saturday and must serve a one-match ban. Ravenhill's omission is unlikely to be the only change with boss Craig Short expected to rest some players. Defenders Liam Chilvers and Mike Edwards, midfielders Alan Judge and John Spicer and forward Jake Jervis are among those in contention to be recalled. Stephen Hunt (hamstring) and Ben Burgess (calf) are nursing niggles but Lee Hughes, who spent six years at Wolves' Black Country rivals West Brom over two spells, is expected to start.
