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.

HUGE DOUBLE SAVE FROM BENTLEY! Burnley are almost gifted the opener, but Bentley keeps them out! Gomes tries an ill-advised backheel under pressure on the byline, allowing Gudmundsson to recover possession and cross low for Rodriguez. His close-range finish is smothered by Bentley, who then dives to his right to tip Brownhill's follow-up wide of the post! Great goalkeeping!

Everything positive from a Wolves point of view has come down their right-hand side. Hwang is out there this time to get in behind Taylor before lifting a cross onto the six-yard line, but O'Shea nods it up into the air and into the gloves of Trafford.

WAYWARD! Amdouni skips away from Lemina on the break before finding Bruun Larsen in an inside-right position. He skips inside Toti to shoot, but blasts his wild effort high and wide.

Danger! Sarabia switches flanks, popping up on the Wolves right to thread a cute pass through for Semedo. He drives a cutback towards the six-yard box, looking for Cunha, but Ekdal does well to clear at his near post.

Comfortable save! Burnley record their first shot on target as Amdouni finds a pocket of space behind Wolves' double pivot, but his 25-yard effort lacks power and Bentley can simply fall on it.

Wolves are enjoying a better spell now, moving the ball patiently. They need more of the pace Semedo showed in that last attack – he breezed past Taylor to create a good chance for Sarabia.

There's a concerning moment for Burnley as Koleosho stays down, rubbing his lower leg after a tangle with Hugo Bueno. The young winger receives treatment and he seems able to rejoin the action – it looks like a contact injury which he can run off.

CLOSE! That's the best chance of the game so far! Semedo finally injects some pace into Wolves' game, charging past Taylor on the right-hand side before lifting a cross into the area. Sarabia arrives on it somewhat awkwardly and has to prod his shot with the outside of his left boot, and it's just too high to find the top-right corner!

There are groans around Molineux as, after a long build-up, Sarabia fails to beat the first Burnley defender from the left-wing corner. The hosts have yet to get going.
