Wolves under-21s return to home soil on Monday evening, as Brighton & Hove Albion make the trip to Aggborough.
Please note, due to Premier League broadcasting restrictions, Monday evening’s Premier League 2 Division 1 fixture with Brighton will not be live streamed.
James Collins’ side claimed their first three points of the season last time out at Blackburn Rovers and the youngsters will be eager to build on that victory.
Substitute Dexter Lembikisa scored the only goal of the game last Sunday, five minutes from time to secure win number one since returning to the top flight.
The 18-year-old’s powerful drive was enough to beat Joe Hilton and bag the points late on in Lancashire.
Tonight’s visitors Brighton have collected one point from their opening two league fixtures.
More recently, a 1-1 draw with Liverpool got Andrew Crofts and his players off the mark for the 2022/23 season.
The fixture is the first of three coming up over the next nine days for Wolves, which include a trip to Crystal Palace on Friday followed by a Papa John’s Trophy tie at Shrewsbury Town next Tuesday.

WHAT THE BOSS THINKS
“Every game this season is going to be a tough test and I feel that the mixture of group we’re going to have this year is going to tell very differently in different games. One week we might be very experienced and we may come up against a really inexperienced team, and then the next week, we might by the inexperienced side.
“Brighton have got two or three players that they’ve spent £10 million on, and although in wording they aren’t a Chelsea or a Manchester United or a Liverpool, they’re developing players, they’re signing good young players, and they’re going to be a tough test for us.”
