Steven Mouyokolo set for Wolves bow

Wolves will hand defender Steven Mouyokolo his debut in tomorrow's Carling Cup tie against Notts County.

The £2.5m summer signing from Hull replaces Jody Craddock for the second round clash for his first competitive action after ankle and hamstring injuries.

Mouyokolo partners the recalled Christophe Berra, who is available after suspension as one of nine changes to the side beaten 3-1 at Tottenham on Saturday, Richard Stearman and Kevin Foley being the only players to keep their places.

Loan signing Marcus Bent makes his full debut alongside Sylvan Ebanks-Blake in an otherwise strong line-up featuring five internationals.

Manager Mick McCarthy, who read the team out at his press conference this afternoon, said: "It's not an under-strength team.

"It's a team with Premier League players who cost a few quid.

"There are no youth team players this time but that's no detriment to them.

"We need to get back to winning ways and I'd love to have a cup run."

David Edwards, who injured his ankle training today and Jelle van Damme (calf) are fresh casualties to join Ronald Zubar (ankle) and Matt Jarvis (groin).

Team (4-4-2): Hennessey; Stearman, Mouyokolo, Berra, Elokobi, Guedioura, Foley, Milijas, Halford; Bent, Ebanks-Blake.
