Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League today.

Wolves made two changes as they took on struggling Bournemouth seeking a third successive win. Adama Traore and Hugo Bueno were the players to come in for the clash at Molineux, with the suspended Mario Lemina and the benched Rayan Ait-Nouri making way.

Marcos Senesi passed a fitness test to start for the Cherries, who went into the game without a win in their previous seven Premier League outings. Marcus Tavernier replaced Jaidon Anthony in their only change.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Bournemouth manage to take all three points away from Molineux, with a single goal separating the two sides after a scrappy and cagey 90 minutes with little quality. A goalless first half gave way to a stop-start second period, with 11 combined substitutions and yellow cards occurring in the half-hour spell immediately after the restart. The situation could not have been more perfect for O’Neil’s side, who took the advantage after 49 minutes through Tavernier’s chested finish and looked to sit back on that lead with the occasional counter-attack going the other way. A frustrated Lopetegui kept sending attacking players onto the pitch but the Cherries defence held firm against the pair of Costa and Jimenez to secure their first win since November. The result puts Bournemouth up into 17th while Wolves drop to 15th.
