- 0' In just a few seconds Molineux Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Southampton FC.
- 5' It looks surprising Wolverhampton Wanderers FC does not make any changes. Ainsley Maitland-Niles has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' Armel Bella Kotchap has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' The travelling Southampton FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Southampton FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Southampton FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 27' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jonny Castro.
- 32' The 40-year-old Joao Moutinho has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 37' Southampton FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 42' Romain Perraud has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
