Wolves Should Beat A Preston Short Of Finney, Thompson And Docherty

Says ARCHIE QUICK

Preston North End contribute Finney, Thompson and Docherty to the England-Scotland match at Wembley today, and, although their opponents, Wolves, will be without Wright for the same reason, Preston's chance of retaining the runners-up position must be affected, Wolves should win this game,

Champion Manchester United face challenging Spurs without skipper Byrne and Edwards, but such is their reserve talent that Spurs may well be beaten. Blackpool will have Matthews and Mudie_on international duty, and this may book them for defeat at Newcastle. Kevan, Barlow and Hewie will be missing from the West Bromwich-Charlton game, but Albion should get both points,
