CHO 0-1 WOL FULL TIME THOUGHTS
Chorley did themselves proud tonight. Wolves were limited to a single shot on target; Chorley had many, many more opportunities. The entire Chorley team ran themselves to exhaustion - there was nothing more that any of them could have done. The consistent long balls and direct pressing limited Wolves' opportunities to break forwards quickly, and Wolves were forced to play through the midfield, keeping the buildup slow and largely unthreatening. Despite the loss, a team of part-timers put up a better fight against Wolves than some Premier League and Europa League sides over the past couple of years - this will be a night to tell the grandchildren about for every man in that Chorley squad.
One positive for Wolves is that despite all the long balls into the box, which have so often proven their undoing, the defence held firm and, perhaps against the odds, kept a clean sheet. Boly, Ruddy and Hoever all played very impressively. Neto and Traore brought a new sense of urgency in attack, and Neves kept the midfield firm while strengthening the defence in set-piece and long-ball scenarios as he so often does. Nuno is regularly criticised for his substitutions, but he got his triple change spot on tonight. Cutrone and Silva did not look very natural together up front and struggled to work with each other - while this can be put down to a lack of shared playing time, this will be a concern for Nuno going forwards.
Wolves progress to the fifth round, and will face the winner of Southampton vs Arsenal. They will find out their next opponents tomorrow, with the game kicking off at 12:15.

CHO 0-1 WOL HALF TIME THOUGHTS
Credit to them - Chorley have looked threatening every time they've tried a cross with men forwards. They seem to have picked the Wolves right-centre of midfield out as something of a weak area when pressed in numbers, and have launched a couple of attacks by doing that, but little has come of them. Tomlinson has been dangerous whenever he's had the ball and a few seconds near the Wolves box, though unfortunately for Chorley that hasn't happened very often yet. A Chorley equaliser can't be ruled out - they've done well so far.
Wolves have largely attacked down the right, primarily by letting Hoever have the ball and push forwards, though long balls by Coady and Boly, and ground passes by the midfield three, have given other options. Chorley have looked quite strong defending on their right/Wolves' left, so Ait Nouri's attacking prospects have been limited. The two strikers have only had limited opportunities, with the Chorley defenders shutting down the chances quickly.
Vitinha's strike was brilliant - he might need to pull off a couple more like that one if Wolves are going to hold onto this lead, as their other attacking options haven't looked especially promising so far.
46' CHO 0-1 WOL END OF FIRST HALF
Hoever tries some stepovers, but the ball just goes back to the defence. Time for one more attack. Cutrone cuts inside from the left on a loose ball, tries a curling shot aimed at the same spot Vitinha scored in. Can't quite get it on target. End of first half.

43' CHO 0-1 WOL
Hoever cuts inside again. Dendoncker overlaps and receives it out wide. His low cross is cleared. Chorley counter but can't make anything from it.

Dendoncker loses it again, but Chorley are quickly dispossessed and Vitinha's lobbed pass finds no one in the box after a quick counterattack.
41' CHO 0-1 WOL
Tomlinson's free kick is cleared. Newby wins it on the Chorley right. Ait Nouri tries to drive forwards and is wiped out. Anthony Taylor plays the advantage after Halls follows through. Leather takes Silva down. Wolves free kick, no cards shown. Both players are unhurt.

29' CHO 0-1 WOL
Wolves throw. Hoever lobs it to Silva who holds it well high up. Vitinha and Moutinho start passing it around, looking for the line-breaker. Moutinho sends a pass wayward, allowing a counterattack and Boly bails him out. Chorley throw in the Wolves half.

Wolves: Tactical Prediction
Wolves often sit deep in a back five when playing with three centre-backs, but both Ki-Jana Hoever and Rayan Ait Nouri are strong going forwards. They will tend to play more attacking than defensive, and without a pair of wingers ahead of them, they will be relied on to push high and send crosses in to the two strikers.
Central attacks will mainly be set up by Vitinha and Moutinho's through balls, with Vitinha likely to push high between the strikers. Chorley's centre-backs could become numerically overwhelmed, forcing the full-backs to come narrow and defensive midfielder Tomlinson to drop back. Wolves could squeeze Chorley towards their own box, limiting them to counterattacks and minimising the chance of conceding corners.
Leander Dendoncker will be key tonight, both due to his strength in attacking crosses and his ability to break up counterattacks in the middle.
Chorley: Tactical Prediction
Wolves have shown in recent months that defending in set-piece scenarios can be a major weakness. Defending against aerial threats has been another problem, but the return to a back three should mitigate this somewhat.
Chorley will probably see their best chance of scoring as being from corners or indirect free kicks, or from crosses or long balls into the box, hoping that the playing surface will catch out the Wolves defenders and force split-second moments of confusion which their strikers and midfielders can take advantage of.
Chorley: Confirmed Lineup
4-1-3-2: Urwin; Birch, Leather, Baines, Halls; Tomlinson; Shenton, Calveley, Newby; Hardwell, Hall.
TWO CHANGES from last Saturday - Lewis Baines & Connor Hall return to the starting XI 👍

Nuno concerned about the state of the Victory Park pitch
"We're going to find a pitch that is not in the best conditions. We already had photos of the pitch taken, we know that the FA make an effort to try and preserve the pitch by covering, we are aware of all that, but with the weather conditions [...] we have to adapt to it."
Vermiglio and Chorley management call on "spirit of '86"
"If the players can be motivated even more we’re going to try it by utilising the spirit of '86 and what that team did [...] That's what they've got to aim for. The game in '86 brings an extra bit of spice, mainly because those people are still here.
"We're fortunate enough to have people like Ken Wright, chairman of our club, who was the manager on that day. So for him, this is unbelievable to be reliving those memories."
Vermiglio hopes his players will be inspired to repeat their predecessors' heroics, while the management have looked to further lift the spirits of the Chorley faithful by releasing a special edition replica of the 1986 home shirt to mark this fourth round tie.

Wolves: Predicted Lineup
3-4-3: Ruddy; Boly, Coady, Kilman; Hoever, Neves, Dendoncker, Ait Nouri; Traore, Cutrone, Neto.
Chorley: Predicted Lineup
4-1-3-2: Urwin; Baines, Halls, Leather, Birch; Tomlinson; Shenton, Calveley, Newby; Hall, Owens.
Wolves: Team News
Wolves are without two left-backs - Jonny Castro Otto (ACL) and Fernando Marcal (groin - recent abdominal surgery has ruled him out for a further few weeks) are both absent, so Rayan Ait Nouri is almost certain to start on the Wolves left.
Raul Jimenez (skull) is back in training and is working in the gym, though still has no timeframe on a return to match fitness.
Daniel Podence (calf) is training with the squad and a rehabilitation specialist, but is unlikely to feature. Wolves cannot risk re-injuring him in what will be a physical game in less than ideal playing conditions.
Chorley: Team News
Forwards Harry Cardwell (calf) and Lewis Reilly (hamstring) will be assessed for fitness before the match, as will midfielder Will Tomlinson (hamstring). Reilly and Tomlinson both picked up their injuries in a 3-2 home victory over Farsley Celtic in the National League North on Saturday.
Nuno in need of a win to keep fans on-side
Wolves' last match saw a 2-3 home loss to West Bromwich Albion in the first Black Country Derby played in nine years. Bottling a half-time lead sparked outrage among the Wolves faithful, with much of the anger directed, perhaps wrongly, at manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Given the trauma caused by the 3-0 loss to Chorley 34 years ago and the resulting significance of this game, Nuno can quieten his critics if he can comfortably see off today's opposition.
Chorley looking for first victory over a Premier League team
A fairytale run has seen the sixth-division Magpies emerge victorious over League One's Wigan Athletic and Peterborough, and over Championship side Derby County so far, a first win over a Premier League side would be a major achievement. This will be the biggest game of many of these players' careers so far.
Huge fixture for both clubs
In the first meeting of these two sides since a twice-replayed FA Cup first round tie saw Chorley defeat Wolves in 1986, both sides will be desperate for a victory. Chorley have never gone this far into the FA Cup before, while lifting the trophy represents Wolves' most plausible route into European competition for 2021/22.
Kick-off time
Chorley vs Wolves will be played at Victory Park, in Chorley, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 19:45 GMT.
