Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves aren't in the habit of conceding early goals. Lage's men have stopped the opposition from scoring a first-half goal in 26 of their 33 Premier League games this season, more than any other team. Likewise, only Norwich City and Brighton and Hove Albion have failed to score more first-half goals than Burnley. It's all to play for here in the second half.

Neither side's been able to make a breakthrough here yet. Wolves have had the better of the play, but Burnley have done well to block most of the visitors have managed to create. The Clarets have had the better chances, particularly McNeil who's come close to scoring twice with left-footed strikes.
