First game of 2006 and it’s Wolves who come to Coventry to play their first ever game at the Arena.
For Micky Adams, He will want a far better performance in front of what will be the biggest home gate of the season so far than his side put in at Preston. Michael Doyle is back after serving a one game suspension, However Don Hutchison is unavailable. Richard Duffy may possibly be fit and Stern John who scored at Deepdale could start.
Wolves boss Glenn Hoddle has no new reported injuries and should field most of the team which drew with Plymouth on New Years Eve.
Eddie Ilderton is the referee. He has not been in charge of a City game this season. Last season, the sides drew 2-2 at Highfield Road with City winning 1-0 at Molineux. This is the 56th meeting between the two clubs with City having won on twenty five occasions with twelve draws.
With a big crowd expected and the stadium untested with more than 24,500 people in the ground, arriving early is highly recommended.
