Wrexham is the destination as Wolves under-21s play their second Bristol Street Motors Trophy group stage fixture on Tuesday evening.
James Collins’ youngsters travel to face a side currently second in League One following back-to-back promotions under Phil Parkinson.
Both teams come into the tie on the back of victories in their last league outings – Wrexham were 4-1 winners at home to Northampton Town on Saturday while the Old Gold defeated Everton 4-2 in Premier League 2 on Friday night.
Wrexham got their group campaign off to a winning start against Salford City last month, winning by two goals to one thanks to goals from Paul Mullin and Will Boyle.
Meanwhile, Wolves were mightily close to also taking three points away to Port Vale after leading 2-1 with minutes to spare.
However, the home side equalised late on to cancel out two stunning Tom Edozie and Fletcher Holman goals, before Vale took the extra point by winning on penalties.

WHAT THE GAFFER SAID
“It’s really exciting. I went to their first game in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy against Salford, and I think there was 6,700 there or something which, in that competition, you don’t normally get crowds quite as high as that.
“There’s obviously an excitement around Wrexham worldwide at the moment, and their squad for this competition is phenomenal.
“They’re second in League One, and their starting 11 and their second 11 could finish in the top half of League One.
“What a test to play against the likes of (Paul) Mullin etc for our boys. It’s a real challenge and we will try and rise to the challenge.
“We’ll be realistic. We know it’s a real tough ask with a young group and as I always say on those nights, you see a lot of high scores and freak scores.
“We’ll go there with a plan, and if we can show the spirit we showed tonight and show a little bit more quality, hopefully the supporters that come along will enjoy the night there. We will certainly enjoy having a go at it.”
