How Enda Stevens copes with Adama Traoré will be a key factor in today’s game. But that’s not Stevens’ only challenge, of course. He also has to contend with Matt Doherty: his Republic of Ireland teammates got the better of him when the sides met at Molineux earlier in the season - not only did Doherty score Wolves’ goal, but he also perpetrated a most wicked nutmeg on his chum in the course of the game. I’d like to think that’s been mentioned a couple of times at Irish squad get-togethers. Vengeance is due! (By the way, have you noticed that the Republic of Ireland have one of the world’s best wingback pairings ... but seldom play with wingbacks? It’ll be interesting to see what their new manager, Stephen Kenny, does with them).

Want to know how Sheffield United’s record signing is going to play today? Well, below you can find Sander Berge explaining how he sees his role, which Chris Wilder has made much more attacking than at his previous clubs. It’s also worth looking out for the 6ft5in Norwegian from setpieces: he mentioned (and this isn’t included in the article) that he plans to make more of an impact from corners and freekicks in both boxes. Just like his buddy John Egan, who scored his first goal last weekend and can now be expected to go on a spree. Maybe.
