Wolves vs Nottingham Forest | U18 Match preview

Wolves under-18s get their FA Youth Cup campaign underway on Wednesday evening as the Academy side invite Nottingham Forest to Molineux for a third round tie.

Steve Davis’ side play at the home of the senior team for the first time this season and will be hoping to reach the fourth round against a Forest team who play in the tier below Wolves in the under-18 system.

Forest are currently sat in third place in the U18 Professional Development League Northern group with seven wins from their 15 league matches this season, while Wolves are in sixth place in the U18 Premier League North thanks to their five wins from 12 so far this season.

Several members of the under-18 squad who faced Wigan Athletic at Molineux in last year’s competition have gone on to make their first-team debuts this season, with Taylor Perry, Terry Taylor, Luke Cundle and Chem Campbell all featuring under Nuno Espirito Santo in 2019.

Tickets are priced at £4 for adults and £2 for children, with supporters being required to pay for entry to Molineux at the turnstiles situated to the north end of the Billy Wright Stand.
