Quotes
“They’re difficult games, but they’re exciting games as well. They’re brilliant opportunities for us to go and try and do that," Wolves manager Rob Edwards said ahead of his side's matches against Liverpool FC and Manchester United.
"We’ve got two away games, but since we’ve arrived here, our two best performances have been away from home against two very good teams, so we look forward to the challenges.
“I said to the lads in there now that I’m standing up, I’m ready to fight and I need everyone to be able to do the same.”
