Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League today.

Wolves made two changes as they took on struggling Bournemouth seeking a third successive win. Adama Traore and Hugo Bueno were the players to come in for the clash at Molineux, with the suspended Mario Lemina and the benched Rayan Ait-Nouri making way.

Marcos Senesi passed a fitness test to start for the Cherries, who went into the game without a win in their previous seven Premier League outings. Marcus Tavernier replaced Jaidon Anthony in their only change.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Stephens comes across and doesn’t earn any style points as he smashes the ball high into the stands for a Wolves throw-in, but with Adama Traore getting by both Senesi and Zemura on the counter, it’s a necessary move.

Wolves certainly have options on the bench to change the game, with Ait Nouri and Podence certainly able to help provide some width. Matheus Cunha may also need replacing at some stage with his impact minimal, and Lopetegui is presented with two options: Costa or Jimenez. Bournemouth will also look to get the big striker on with Moore waiting for his opportunity. Anthony could also be in line for an appearance - having started the Cherries’ previous match against Newcastle.

An energetic first half at Molineux Stadium comes to a close with nothing to separate the two sides, as Wolves and Bournemouth are kept to a goalless draw after 45 minutes. The stalemate comes from both side’s preference of hitting on the counter-attack, which has led to relatively little on-the-ball quality. Wolves were certainly the more comfortable of the two in possession - dominating that stat as a result - though their best chances to test Neto came from Sarabia and Adama Traore stretching the game down the flanks. For the visitors, Ouattara has lookely lively and willing, though there has not been much in the way of goal-mouth action.
