Details confirmed for Wolves v United cup tie
ArticleThe first team might be on hiatus, but our Under-21s will be in Papa Johns Trophy action next week.
Our young Reds have gained some invaluable experience in the competition so far. Away wins over League Two clubs Carlisle United and Barrow, both of which ended 2-1, secured a place in the second round with a game to spare.
That final group fixture was an entertaining 2-2 draw away to League One side Fleetwood Town, with the hosts securing the extra point on penalties.
Meanwhile, Wolves reached the last 32 by finishing second in their group with six points from three matches.

The two clubs have already met at Under-21 level this season, when the Reds won 3-2 in an action-packed Premier League 2 contest at Carrington.
United twice came from behind, with equalisers from Joe Hugill and Shola Shoretire, before an 88th-minute winner from Marc Jurado settled the encounter in our favour.
Shoretire was also on the scoresheet in our previous Papa Johns Trophy tie, netting an injury-time equaliser at Fleetwood where Charlie McNeill had opened the scoring from the penalty spot.
