Wolverhampton Wolves take on a double-header this evening.

The two meetings round off the regular Premiership campaign for the Parrys International Wolves, who have already sealed their place in the end-of-season play-offs.

But there is still plenty riding on both fixtures.

The Wolves need just one point to wrap up second place behind table-topping Swindon (7.30pm), who are expected to announce their choice of semi-final opponents following the first meeting.

The second feast of action sees King’s Lynn take to the track (9pm approx) who know an away win would be enough to see them avoid the dreaded relegation play-off next month.

It promises to be a thrilling night of speedway at the home of the reigning champions, and team manager Peter Adams wants to see his full strength side head into the play-offs on a positive note.

He said: “After the loss at Swindon last Thursday meant we were unable to catch them for top spot, the aim was to try and build up some momentum ahead of the play-offs so in that respect our win at Leicester on Friday was a good result for us.

“We’re looking to finish on as many points as possible and we could finish second in the league table which would be another solid effort from us upon the completion of the regular fixtures. We’re looking for two more convincing wins on Monday and it should be a terrific night of entertainment.

“Particularly in the Swindon meeting, who knows, we could end up meeting them at some point in the play-offs so it would be good if we could send out some form of message.

“It’s good to be back at full strength at this stage of the season and the return from injury of both Sam (Masters) and Mark (Riss) have been very welcome
