Wolves host Blackburn Rovers at Molineux in the opening match of the Championship season, with kick-off at 8pm BST. Both clubs begin under new managers: César Peixoto takes charge of promotion-tipped Wolves, while Tony Mowbray returns to Blackburn hoping to avoid another relegation battle.

Wolves have retained many key players after relegation and are favourites to win, while Blackburn’s limited summer recruitment highlights their difficulties. Their starting side contains no new signings, with Sam Morsy and Jayden Fevrier on the bench and Moussa Baradji injured.
