Shrewsbury will look to cause a FA Cup shock at Molineux as they take on Wolves in a replay on Tuesday.

The Sky Bet League One strugglers almost knocked out Wolves in the reverse fixture but Matt Doherty's last-gasp header rescued the Premier League side as they hit back from 2-0 down to force a draw.

The winner of this tie will have a fifth-round clash against Bristol City.
