Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Coventry City at the Molineux on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the 2023-24 FA Cup campaign.
The home side are enjoying a strong Premier League campaign but will turn their attention to cup action this weekend. They beat Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 in the last 16 of the competition last month, with Mario Lemina scoring the sole goal of the game just two minutes after kick-off.
Wolverhampton Wanderers faced Manchester United in their last appearance at this stage of the cup competition, picking up a 2-1 victory, and they will hope they can find similar luck this weekend.
Coventry City are also playing well at the moment and are pushing for a return to the Championship promotion playoffs. They thrashed amateur outfit Maidstone United 5-0 in the competition last time out, with former Everton man Ellis Simms scoring a first-half hat-trick before Fabio Tavares netted a late brace to seal the win for the Sky Blues.
The visitors are set to make their first appearance in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup since the 2008-09 campaign and will be looking to give a good account of themselves against top-flight opposition.
