Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Luton Town
Doughty turns his marker on the left inside then out, before driving for the byline excellently. The held up cross meets the wrong man seemingly, as Clark has no chance of heading that home. Wolves clear, there's another attack brewing, yet a possession loss leads to Doughty committing a foul. Wolves regroup.

The visitors recover and Chong looks to make a mark with an adventurous dart forward. His cross from the left is less so, as Semedo blocks, yet there's some grumbled penalty shouts from the travelling contingent. That's soft to say the least fellas.

That Cunha effort actually originated from a blocked Traore effort from outside the area. It ricocheted kindly for Wolves off two Hatters' players and inadvertently played in Cunha, yet he couldn't gather his composure in time...

Luton get quite easily opened up as Semedo fires over a cross at the second time of asking from the right. It's failed to clear by the visitors and Cunha looks to latch on... but he's floorbound. Seems a loss of balance meant the Brazilian couldn't capitalise on some pretty lapse defending.

Toti emerges with the ball further up the pitch after a skirmish in the middle sees a Wolves free-kick won. The Portuguese is unchallenged and opts for a shot from range... he slips but still forces Kaminski to clutch it close to his body. Worth a go, but still a way off if he wants to earn that extra 't' like his near namesake Francesco...

Clark produces some excellent midfield play as Luton come forward. He wriggles free of intense pressure and plays Lokonga in, yet he can't get it under control and Wolves eventually clear. That's after a half-shout for a Toti handball, but with the recovering defender's arms low, it would've been very harsh.

It's intriguing looking at Wolves' scorers. While Cunha is the team's leading scorer with 11 goals, Hwang has been nearly as impressive with 10 goals, including three match-openers.

Where Hwang perhaps loses the battle of strength with Mengi, the battle of wits is certainly on! Hwang is slipped in behind on the right channel of the centre backs and forces a low save from Kaminski! Mengi then puts the bouncing ball out for a corner, although this ultimately comes to nothing.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Luton Town
As previously mentioned, these sides played out a 1-1 draw in their last Premier League meeting, a September match at Kenilworth Road. Pedro Neto scored Wolves' lone goal in the 50th minute. Carlton Morris scored for the Hatters in the 65th minute with a spot-kick. Today's win percentages chart a 43.9 backing of Wolves, where a draw sits at 27.9. A Luton win charts at 28.2.
