Vincent Kompany’s Burnley travel to Wolves in the hopes of backing up their impressive victory over Sheffield United at the weekend and taking strides to avoid the relegation zone.

The Clarets defeat the Blades 5-0 in a fluid and sweeping game of attacking football that felt reminiscent of their Championship dominance last season and Kompany will want to use that win as a springboard to take Burnley even further.

For their part, Wolves have lost their last two league games and a victory would propel them up the table and increase the gap above the relegation zone.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

Taylor needs to be careful here. Just moments after being booked, he chops Sarabia down on the Wolves right. The referee keeps his cards in his pocket on this occasion, though.

Sarabia sends a lovely free-kick delivery towards Kilman, but Burnley just about manage to scramble it clear. Kompany seems to be preparing his next substitution, with Tresor readying himself on the sidelines.

Taylor is the next man into the book for dragging Lemina back on the Wolves right. That's three Burnley players on cautions.

BIG CHANCE! Wolves work their next corner short to Hwang, who lifts a deep cross towards Dawson. The big centre-back is far too strong for Brownhill as he reaches the dropping ball at the far post, side-footing across the face of goal, but there's nobody arriving to tap it in! Burnley survive a big scare.

CLOSE! Sarabia sends a dangerous set-piece delivery to the near post, where Berge turns just wide of his own goal with Trafford pinned back! Wolves get another corner.

Hugo Bueno gets up on the overlap for Wolves, throwing in a stepover to beat Vitinho before seeing his chipped cross knocked behind for a left-wing corner. What can Wolves do from their latest set-piece?

Lemina, by the way, was sent off for dissent by today's referee as Wolves beat Southampton 2-1 in February. He joins the wall as Bruun Larsen lifts a poor free-kick well over Bentley's goal.

There's a tense moment for Burnley as Sarabia's teasing cross is headed awkwardly into the air by O'Shea, and Taylor doesn't know Semedo is lurking behind him as he slices a rushed clearance out of play.

OVER! Sarabia swings a lovely set-piece delivery to the far post, where Lemina heads over a gaping goal from just a couple of yards out. However, the linesman lifts his flag for offside, sparing the midfielder's blushes.
