69'

McNeil is shown the first yellow card of the game for a bad foul on Doherty.
66'

Burnley are happy to keep the ball in their own half at the minute as they just slow down the pace of the game once again and wait for the space to open up in midfield so they can move forward.
63'

26'
Jota has a lot of room ahead of him as he runs into the box from his own half and he plays in Moutinho on the left wing. His cross into the box is cleared to Neves, who takes a shot from outside the box, but it is a poor effort and it bounces well wide of the post.

Jota gets the game underway for Wolves at Turf Moor!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League match between Burnley and Wolves at Turf Moor!
Sean Dyche takes charge of his 300th game as Burnley manager today, but his team don't come into the match in the best form having lost their last four matches in the Premier League. Wolves, on the other hand, have lost just one of their previous eight games in the competition (W4 D3), but have only won one of their last five (D3 L1).
BURNLEY STARTING XI (4-4-2): Tom Heaton; Phil Bardsley, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Charlie Taylor; Jeff Hendrick, Ashley Westwood, Jack Cork, Dwight McNeil; Ashley Barnes, Chris Wood.
BURNLEY SUBS: Joe Hart, Stephen Ward, Johann Gudmundsson, Matthew Lowton, Matej Vydra, Ben Gibson, Robbie Brady.
WOLVES STARTING XI (3-5-2): Rui Patricio; Romain Saiss, Conor Coady, Willy Boly; Adama Traore, Leander Dendoncker, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Jonny Castro Otto; Ivan Cavaleiro, Diogo Jota.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
WOLVES SUBS: John Ruddy, Morgan Gibbs-White, Raul Jimenez, Matt Doherty, Max Kilman, Ruben Vinagre, Helder Costa.
Nuno might want to think of making an attacking change soon if he wants to get back into the game as they haven't troubled Heaton in goal in the first half. Dyche will be happy with the way his side performed though, especially in defence, but they will need to create more opportunities in the second half if they want to extend their lead.
That's all for today, goodbye!
This win ends a run of four straight defeats for Burnley and means that they are now five points clear of the relegation zone, with Cardiff City not playing until tomorrow. Wolves remain in seventh, but are now level on points with Leicester City, who won today. They do have a game in hand over them though and now turn their attention to their game against Manchester United on Tuesday.
