16' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC make a change. Hwang Heechan trudges off to be replaced by Adama Traore on 16 minutes.
21' The 26-year-old Aaron Connolly has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
26' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Leandro Trossard made 316 appearances and scored 92 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

74' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Joel Veltman suffering a number of foals already.
