Wolverhampton Wanderers have announced their starting lineup for Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at Bristol City.

Earlier this week, the Premier League outfit announced the signing of Emmanuel Agbadou from Reims, the centre-back having impressed in Ligue 1.

The Ivory Coast international has been handed an immediate debut in the centre of a back three in one of three changes made by Vitor Pereira.

Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is selected between the sticks in place of Jose Sa, while Andre returns in central midfield to take the spot of Tommy Doyle.

With Matt Doherty reverting to right wing-back, Pedro Lima is the other player to miss out at Ashton Gate.
