Why does this Maidenhead United Wolves clash matter?
This is Wolves' first public pre-season outing of the summer after a warm-weather camp in Portugal. The Maidenhead Advertiser notes it is also their first pre-season match on UK soil, following a game against Estoril last week.
Peixoto's Championship side are rebuilding after relegation from the Premier League. Former England defender Trippier has arrived from Newcastle United, while Raul Jimenez has signed from Fulham but is not in the squad after World Cup duty with Mexico.
For Maidenhead, the fixture stems from their role in Max Kilman's move from Wolves to West Ham. The Magpies waived around half of a 20 per cent sell-on fee, still netting about £4million, and chairman Peter Griffin said the crowd could be the biggest of his tenure.

What happened in the early stages at York Road?
Kick-off came just after 7.30pm with Wolves in all gold and Maidenhead in black and red. Early live updates from the Maidenhead Advertiser had the score locked at 0-0 through the opening 25 minutes.
Wolves created the clearer chances. Leon Chiwome headed over, then saw a back-post finish smothered by goalkeeper Van Stappershoef. Trippier lofted a ball for Chirewa, whose half-volley was comfortably saved.
Maidenhead threatened too: Coley went down in the box without a penalty, and Trippier later cleared a dangerous far-post delivery aimed at Trialist A. The visitors' new right-back was reported as the loudest organiser on the pitch as both sides continued to probe.
