5'
A lively dart from Neto, running at Taylor and getting to the byline, but his cross is caught comfortably by Pope.
4'
Very much direct transition from Burnley. The old school diagonal from the full-back, this time Lowton towards Wood, but it flies all the way through for Patricio.
3'
Two deep crosses from Westwood already looking for the aerial threats of Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes, but both comfortably dealt with by Rui Patricio.
2'
It's very much going to be Wolves in the ascendancy; in possession, shorter passing ranges, and fluid movement in the final third from Otasowie, Neto and Podence.
1'
Immediately we see the debutant Otasowie in front of the deep-lying Moutinho and Neves, and he's on the ball early - sliding Semedo down the right, but the right wing-back's cross is blocked by Charlie Taylor.
1st Half
1'
Here we go.
17:29
Here we go...one minute to kick off.
17:25
Burnley are 'playing at a better level' - according to their manager Sean Dyche - it's all about 'finding the consistency'.
17:16
Nuno wanting his side 'to compete and to play' against 'a tough opponent'.
17:15
15 minutes to kick off.
17:05
However, they're 12th in the league in terms of goals conceded - 1.5 on average.
17:04
Burnley are averaging merely 0.5 goals per game - the worst in the league.
16:55
It'll certainly be intriguing to see how Wolves' midfield trio line up - will Otasowie be in the middle, flanked by the two more creative outlets, with the freedom to get up and down with both Portuguese orchestrators operating more deeply, or will it be one of Neves and Moutinho in the '6' role, with the other and the young American as the two '8's?
16:53
Not quite as flavoursome and continental for the home side though: Peacock-Farrell, Norris, Rodriguez, Pieters, Bardsley, Long, Dunne, Benson, Stephens.
16:52
It's a spicy-looking bench for Wolves as well this evening - Adama Traore, of course, is the standout name, alongside Marcal, Ki-Jan Hoever, Boly, Vitinha, Silva, Perry, Corbeanu and Ruddy.
16:50
Otasowie makes his first full start in the league for the west Midlands club tonight; the American impressing off the bench in Wolves' 2-1 victory over Chelsea last time out,
16:45
Tactically, it seems like Burnley will continue their direct, counter attacking play; Barnes and Wood as the two out balls, with the pace of McNeil and the creativity of Brownhill, Westwood and Brady behind the two big men. Wolves on the other hand, look like they'll try to exploit the Clarets defenders' lack of speed - Podence and Neto will no doubt drift into the channels, allowing for space on the edge of the box for Neves and Moutinho to create, and Otasowie to get up and down the pitch as a more natural box-to-box midfielder.
16:44
The visitors have dropped Marcal, Leander Dendoncker, Willy Boly and Fabio Silva for this game; Max Kilman and Rayan Ait-Nouri enter stage left, with Moutinho sliding in alongside Otasowie and Neves as he returns to the engine room.
16:41
A huge night for full debutant Owen Otasowie - an American midfielder standing at 6'3", who will hopefully give Nuno's midfield the athleticism that it perhaps lacks with the leaner and more creative Portuguese duo of Neves and Moutinho.
16:39
The Clarets have only found the net six times this term - equalling a dismal record back from the same stage of the 1970-71 campaign - Burnley finishing the season relegated from the top flight.
16:38
Burnley, meanwhile, make one change from their draw at Villa Park last time out - Jay Rodriguez drops out for Ashley Barnes.
