Wolves lead the expected goals (xG) charts with 1.00 to Southampton's 0.44 so far in this game. The Saints had 71% possession in the first half and as many as 31 final third entries to only nine from Wolves. The hosts sat very deep in the first half, looking to produce something on the counter. Let's see if they keep up with that tactic, especially if Southampton come all guns blazing in the second half. It sure does seem like there are more goals in this one. Stay tuned for the second half.

Wolves will feel very fortunate going into half-time with the lead. To their credit, they started on the front foot in the very early minutes of the game, and pounced on an opportunity in the second minute of the first half, courtesy of some brilliant play by Cunha down the left and a calm finish by Sarabia. Southampton dominated the ball for the most part of the opening 45 minutes, but wasted a host of chances, failing to register a single shot on target despite six attempts. However, they are probably feeling undone by a controversial disallowed goal by VAR after Manning smashed the ball into the top corner early in the half. Cunha has been the most impressive player on the pitch so far and he could do more damage to the Saints if they do not come up with a plan to stop him.

HALF-TIME: WOLVES 1-0 SOUTHAMPTON

Sarabia draws a foul from Aribo after some more dominance on the ball by the Saints and it looks like Wolves will go into half-time with the lead.

Cunha with another rapid run down the left flank, but his attempted pass into the centre of the box is blocked and then collected by Ramsdale. Cunha has been impressive and Southampton will need to work out a plan to keep him at bay going forward.
