This is the kind of tactical flexibility that should serve the team well as two more fronts will open next week. Victory tonight would bring our undefeated club record to Europe (excluding shootouts) to 17 games.

Carabao Cup and the Champions League catch up

Visitors to the Carabao Cup next week, Grimsby, have saved a point with two goals late on Oldham this weekend. Tonight, the League Two club travels to Salford, before welcoming the team that they beat to make an appointment at the Bridge, Macclesfield.

On the other side of Group H, last season's semi-finalists Ajax and Lille, currently fifth in Ligue 1, meet in Amsterdam tonight.

Molineux-Mestalla connections

After beating the current Nuno Espirito Santo club on Saturday, Chelsea will welcome his former team tonight. The Valencia club is organized in the same way as the Wolves: both have owners of the Far East and the Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes negotiates football contracts.

Singapore's Peter Lim took over Los Che in 2014 and also owns half of League Two Salford City, a commercial relationship that led to the appointment of shareholder Gary Neville for four months in Mestalla as of December 2015 Neville took over from Santo, who was quickly installed in Molineux. .

"I knew it would be a difficult time in the club," said Neville about his time there. "I knew that they had fired 15 executives in 13 years."

Lim acted quickly to eliminate Neville at that time and, six days ago, expelled Marcelino, who won fourth place in the Champions League last season and his first trophy in 11 years: the Copa del Rey.

For Celades, the last (and eighth) nomination of Lim, it's a whole new challenge, as was the case for Neville. He was assistant to Julen Lopetegui in Spain and Real Madrid, but has never been a head coach before.
