32'
Ambitious! Traore leaves Mitchell in his wake with another frightening run down the right. His deep cross finds Podence who tries a spectacular overhead-kick. Can't keep it down, though.
31'
Ayew pounces on a terrible pass from Jonny as Palace pour forward in numbers but the move breaks down.
29'
Palace are moving the ball with confidence and Ward is released on the right. However, his cross is catching practice for Patricio.
27'
Just wide! Boly makes a mistake in defence and Palace almost capitalise! Zaha switches the ball to Schlupp left of centre and his first touch is perfect to set him up for the shot, but the Palace midfielder rolls it just past Patricio's far post.
24'
Mitchell and Schlupp show Traore down the line as Palace continue to double up on the Wolves man. It has been an effective tactic so far as the winger's cross is played behind the Palace goal.
23'
Sakho is making his way up the stairs at Molineux and back to the changing rooms. Cheikhou Kouyate takes an age to get ready but he's going to replace the Palace defender. Play resumes.

21'
And with a Palace substitution imminent, it's time for a drinks break.
20'
INJURY! There's a concern over Sakho who goes down holding the back of his leg and looks in some pain. With Palace already missing so many players, Hodgson has some thinking to do.
17'
Wolves break from Palace's first corner of the game, though Mitchell appears to be fouled by Doherty. Play on says the referee. Traore bursts into the penalty area but Sakho stands firm and blocks the wideman's shot.
14'
Palace double up on Jimenez but the Wolves forward finds a way through with his beautiful close control. His final touch lets him down on this occasion, however, as Guaita comes out to gather.
13'
Tonight has been Wolves' 56th game of the season so it is little surprise they have tired legs.
12'
It has been a scrappy affair thus far. Absolutely nothing to get excited about - yet.

8'
Traore gets the opportunity to run at Mitchell for the first time this evening down the right flank. It's no surprise that he beats the young Palace full-back for pace - but the cross is poor.
-
6'
Jiminez battles away and wins Wolves a corner, which they play short. Jonny eventually sends it deep and the hosts win a throw-in.
5'
Nice approach play from Palace involving Mitchell down the left. The ball is then stood up to Ayew in the centre but he's crowded out by the Wolves defenders before he is afforded the opportunity to turn.
4'
Palace are down to the bare bones for tonight's match, missing FIVE of their key players.
3'
Mitchell's Premier League debut sees him marking Wolves' Adama Traore, a battle I bet he isn't relishing.
1st Half
1'
KICK-OFF! The players take the knee in the ongoing fight against racism and then Wolves get us underway.
