We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth
The counter-kick count is racking up for Wolves, with Moutinho tasked with taking their seventh of the game. It’s a similarly poor effort to some of their earlier attempts, with the Portugal international finding only Hamed Traore - who clears his penalty area.

Bueno’s fancy footwork opens up a bit of room ahead of Outtara but the full-back’s cross with his weaker left foot is immediately rejected by the head of Senesi.

Sarabia’s corner is taken to the near post, where Lerma rises highest to meet it. The clearance sets Bournemouth away on a counter-attack but Tavernier’s miscontrol of a Hamed Traore pass means the move breaks down prematurely.

Sarabia hits a switch of play from left to right which appears to be sailing over the head of Traore on the opposite flank. Somehow, the winger manages to leap in the air and bring it down with extremely impressive control, before bursting forward towards the byline. A cross eventually comes in towards Matheus Cunha but it’s Stephens who wins the battle.

Neves goes down holding his head after Billing catches the Portugal international during a tussle for a throw-in. It’s a free-kick for Wolves deep in Bournemouth’s half, which the hosts take quick and short.

CLOSE! Tavernier gives the ball away to Matheus Nunes, who immediately plays a pass down the flank for Semedo. The full-back drives on before pulling a cross back to the near post for Sarabia, who only manages to find the goalkeeper!

Stephens gets in the way of Matheus Cunha cleverly to prevent a Wolves counter-attack, bringing the forward down in the process. It’s a cynical foul but not deemed worthy of a booking by the referee.

Smith’s error allows Sarabia to win the ball back on the halfway line and advance a Wolves attack but Moutinho’s pass through for Traore from the edge of the penalty area is hit with too much power, taking it beyond the line and out for a goal-kick.
