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:

Jimenez leaves a leg dangling and Billing intelligently takes the bait, falling over the striker while in possession to win a free-kick. The referee immediately blows his whistle and gives the visitors the set-piece, with Neto making his way up the pitch slowly to oversee it.

Bournemouth are winning a succession of throw-ins down the right wing, with Smith finding both Rothwell and Semenyo before Wolves defenders poke it away and out for another. It’s playing perfectly into Cherries’ hands, with the hosts desperate to get the ball up the pitch for one more attack.

Zemura has now gone down off the ball and is requiring a bit of treatment to his left leg. It doesn’t appear a time-wasting tactic however, as a substitute is immediately prepared on the Bournemouth touchline.

Sarabia plays a lovely backheel down the wing for Gomes but Costa is prevented from latching onto the end of the substitute’s cross with both Stephens and Mepham marking the physical striker.
