Wolves are expected to have two Prime Ministers watching on as they take on Everton in the Carabao Cup this evening.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set to attend the third round tie alongside his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney after the pair met earlier before the game.
Burnham’s entourage has been spotted around the Hill Dickinson Stadium ahead of the clash, with the Prime Ministers expected to watch on as Everton take on Wolves.

Both Burnham and Carney are Everton supporters, with the British PM a lifelong fan and season-ticket holder.
Burnham has spoken regularly about his support for the club, having attended matches since childhood in the 1970s and continuing to watch Everton when his duties allow.
The visit comes after Burnham briefly took compassionate leave following the death of his father, Roy, who died on Monday after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
On the pitch, Wolves will be looking to cause an upset against the Premier League side and book their place in the fourth round.
Cesar Peixoto has made several changes to his side for the cup clash, with the game also coming just days before Sunday’s highly anticipated Black Country Derby against West Brom.
