Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Good goalkeeping from Johnstone, who tips Summerville's corner over again. From the next delivery, Soucek knocks it down for Mavropanos who scoops over from six yards. He might have slipped, but this game is really starting to open up now.

OH JOAO GOMES HAS HIS HEAD IN HIS HANDS! Wolves launch a magnificent counter. Doherty plays a beauty of a delivery from the right-hand side and Gomes, maybe slightly ahead of the ball, can only miscue it wide!
