McCarthy has striking options

Striker Jay Bothroyd is fit again after missing Wolves' win over Stoke last weekend with an eye injury. Does he return to the side or will McCarthy stick with Jemal Johnson and Leon Clarke who played up from last Saturday. Clarke, the player to replace Bothroyd, scored against the Potters.

Meanwhile Wolves have brought in David Wheater on loan from Middlesbrough.

"David is a highly-rated young centre back and I am delighted he's coming here," McCarthy told the club's official website.

"We need more players in this department, especially with Mark Clyde still unavailable through injury."

Wheater is expected to be in the squad for the game against the Bluebirds.
