24/04/2019 - Wolves - Premier League - First Team - A

That's all from us here at Molineux. We'll be hoping the boys can bounce back on Sunday against Leicester City at King Power Stadium.

See you then.

A minimum of four minutes will be added on here...

Koscielny rises highest from Xhaka's free-kick but can't direct his header on target

Bennett is booked for a cynical challenge on Nketiah. Another chance for Xhaka to swing in a dangerous delivery...

Sokratis rises highest to power home a deep corner. Ten minutes to go, let's go all out lads!

Almost an instant impact by Nketiah who twists and turns to get away from his man. He crosses for Lacazette but Bennett recovers just in time to clear.

Wolves come forward again in search of a fourth.

Jonny is quickly closed down by Maitland-Niles on the left-hand side, so switches to Jimenez on the right. He takes a touch but strikes across Leno and wide of the far post.

Lacazette goes down in the box and it looked like he may have been bundled over by Bennett...

But Stuart Atwell waves away the appeals. Bennett certainly made contact with our striker but nothing is given.

Jimenez escapes on the right-hand side and crosses for Jota at the far post, but for once this evening the Wolves forward can't bring the ball under control.

All he needed to do was make contact and it would have troubled Leno...

Iwobi combines with Ozil before looking for Lacazette in the box, but Wolves clear at the near post

Monreal is found on the left-hand side and takes a touch to set himself before smashing over the crossbar.

It's a better start by Emery's side, but we're going to need a lot more to test Patricio.

We're back underway at Molineux and we've got a mountain to climb.

Come on Arsenal!

Jota races through on the left-hand side and fires a left-footed strike underneath Leno.

There will be a minimum of two minutes added on at Molineux...

Torreira is booked now for a rash challenge on Neves

Again we're slow to close down from a set-piece and when Jonny swings the ball in, Doherty breaks the offside trap to head past Leno.

This just got a whole lot harder...

Lacazette does so well to leave two defenders in his wake, cuts in from the right-hand side...

...but then our No 9 slices a wild strike wide of the post. You would have expected him to work Patricio from there.

Xhaka joins Monreal in the book after kicking the ball away following another foul on the edge of the box.

Thankfully this time Neves fires a deflected free-kick well off target.

Jimenez has a chance to double Wolves' lead after collecting a loose ball in the box, but again he fires wildly off target.

He could have had two already. We need to sharpen up here.

Neves curls an unstoppable free-kick into the bottom corner. Nothing Leno could do about that one, it's a brilliant strike.

In fact, it was so good that it's the first goal from outside of the box that our keeper has conceded in the Premier League this season.

Monreal is the first name in Stuart Atwell's book after he cynically brings down Jonny on the edge of the box.

Neves will take the resulting free-kick...

Another big chance for the hosts - Doherty's long throw isn't dealt with and Jimenez manages to get a leg on the loose ball...

Thankfully he sends a volley over off his knee.

Wolves counter-attack down the other end.

Doherty picks out Moutinho, who curls a first-time strike inches wide of Leno's left-hand post. 

That's a warning sign...

Torreira rifles it in but it's straight at the wall.

Sokratis is appealing for a handball against Moutinho but referee Stuart Atwell waves away his protests.

That's another good spell of possession involving Iwobi and Monreal - and the latter is brought down by Doherty.

We've got a free-kick in a dangerous position...

We've seen plenty of the ball so far and the game's first chance falls to Torreira on the edge of the box...

But our Uruguayan midfielder miscues his strike. A positive start by Emery's side.

A quick reminder of our matchday squad...

Starting XI: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Koscielny (c), Monreal, Torreira, Xhaka, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Iwobi, Lacazette

Subs: Cech, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Elneny, Guendouzi, Willock, Nketiah

Both teams have finished their warm-ups and we're now less than 10 minutes away from kick-off here in the Midlands...

The lads know all to well that we need a win tonight...

Three points will see us leapfrog Chelsea back into the top four, while if Pep Guardiola's side win the Manchester derby in tonight's other fixture, United's chances of Champions League qualification will be even slimmer.

The other big news is that there's no Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tonight...

He's not travelled following a minor sinus procedure, and will be assessed ahead of Sunday's clash with Leicester City.

So Unai Emery reverts to a 4-3-2-1.

Maitland-Niles returns to the starting XI, Sokratis comes back from suspension and Nacho Monreal is in at left back.

Lucas Torreira partners Granit Xhaka in midfield, while Mesut Ozil is flanked by Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi. Alex Lacazette leads the line.

Come on, lads!

Both teams have arrived here and we'll have lineups from 6.45pm (UK time).

But until then, some stats...

Good evening and welcome to our live coverage of tonight's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers
