Wolves travel to Preston for first away test of the season

Summary

Wolverhampton Wanderers face Preston North End on Saturday afternoon in their first away match of the season. After a 2-2 draw last weekend against Blackburn Rovers, Wolves look for their first Championship win, despite ongoing injury challenges for coach Cesar Peixoto. Key players Kieran Trippier and Yerson Mosquera are sidelined, prompting potential rotations in the lineup. Wolves have historically performed well against Preston, but have struggled to secure victories on the second day of the season. Preston seeks redemption after a loss to Bolton Wanderers.
