While many of the top stars will be on international duty this week, the focus domestically in England in midweek will be on the EFL Trophy.
Hollywood-owned Wrexham are among the leading contenders to win the tournament, and they chase a second straight success in the competition when coming up against Wolves U21s.
The youthful Premier League outfit played out a draw in their opening match, but a big performance will be required at the home of the high-flying League One Welsh giants.

Wrexham Team News
The Welsh hosts will be without just one key player due to international responsibilities, with full-back Jacob Mendy called up for Gambia’s upcoming matches.
Confidence levels around the team should be high after claiming a dominant 4-1 win over Northampton Town on Saturday. James McLean netted twice in that win at the Racecourse Ground.
Possible Lineup
Arthur Okonkwo (GK); Lewis Brunt, Dan Scarr, Eoghan O’Connell, Aaron James, George Dobson, Ryan Barnett, George Evans, James McClean, Steven Fletcher, Paul Mullin
Wolves U21 Team News
The Wolves youth setup will be hoping for a better performance than they managed in the EFL Trophy last season after exiting the competition in the group stage after losing two of their three matches.
However, confidence would have been gained in the previous round of matches after beating Everton U21 4-2. A disappointing defeat was suffered in their opening match of the EFL Trophy, after losing on penalties following a 2-2 draw.
Possible Lineup
Tom King (GK); Alfie White, Filozofe Mabete, Alfie Pond, Caden Voice, Aaron Keto-Diyawa, Halis Esen, Matthew Whittingham, Finlay Ashworth, Tom Edozie, Fletcher Holman
Wrexham vs. Wolves U21 Prediction
With just one player being away on international duty, Wrexham will be at near full strength for this EFL Trophy showdown.
Therefore, as the odds suggest, it is incredibly hard to overlook the prospect of a home victory on Tuesday.
