Gillingham get the lowdown on Carabao Cup opponents Wolves by watching streams of their friendly matches under new boss Julen Lopetegui

Gillingham boss Neil Harris knows a new man in charge at Wolves makes things even tougher for his team in the Carabao Cup.

Spaniard Julen Lopetegui’s first competitive game in charge of the Premier League side will come on Tuesday when the Gills head to Molineux for a fourth round cup match.

Lopetegui has taken over a team sitting bottom of the Premier League table and hopes to turn things around as top-flight football returns following the World Cup break. He’s had a month to get to know his new team - after replacing sacked coach Bruno Lage - and Harris has been doing his best to try and work out what kind of set-up his team will be facing.

Harris said: “As we have done a couple of times this year already teams have changed managers before playing us, you don’t always have a clear indication of what a new manager is going to do, or what personnel he is going to pick, but we have been fortunate enough to have watched footage of a couple of their recent games, their friendly matches.

“That has been handy but sometimes the unknown is not a problem, we will be set-up, well-drilled as we have been with a mindset and a defensive shape and then it will be about tinkering on the evening from the side of the pitch if we need to and adjust our shape to try and compete.

“They will dominate the ball and there is going to be an excitement around Molineux because of the new manager and so we have to deal with that new manager bounce and we have to deal with a Premier League football team and try and get a shape and organisation about us, every bit as good as we did against Brentford (in the last round).”

Wolves welcomed back their Portuguese players from the World Cup as well as South Korean international Hee Chan Hwang.
