Nottingham Forest will try to “rile up” Wolverhampton Wanderers when the two sides meet at the City Ground in the Premier League this weekend, says former Wolves man Dave Edwards.
They have already been involved in a feisty encounter in the Carabao Cup earlier this season, with Forest beating Wolves on penalties at the City Ground in January. Both clubs were charged by the Football Association for a melee which broke out at the end of the tie, with Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui criticised after confronting Morgan Gibbs-White.
The FA said: “We are unanimous in our view that Wolves bear a significantly higher responsibility for this mass confrontation. It was the extremely ill-judged action and timing of Julen Lopetegui approaching Morgan Gibbs-White to remonstrate with him that was the catalyst for what followed.”
