Vincent Kompany’s Burnley travel to Wolves in the hopes of backing up their impressive victory over Sheffield United at the weekend and taking strides to avoid the relegation zone.

The Clarets defeat the Blades 5-0 in a fluid and sweeping game of attacking football that felt reminiscent of their Championship dominance last season and Kompany will want to use that win as a springboard to take Burnley even further.

For their part, Wolves have lost their last two league games and a victory would propel them up the table and increase the gap above the relegation zone.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Burnley

The home fans are frustrated as Wolves waste a chance to kill the game off! Bellegarde somehow finds space to wriggle past two challenges inside a crowded penalty area, but rather than shooting on his left foot, he checks back to cross for Lemina and sees his pass cut out!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Burnley

Wolves are making a defensive change now, with O'Neil sending on ball-winning midfielder Traore in place of Cunha, who has gotten through plenty of off-the-ball work and assisted Hwang's goal.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Burnley

Trafford tries to pick out his centre-back under pressure from Hwang and drills a terrible pass out of play on the Burnley left. Hwang was close to getting a toe to that in the goalmouth!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Burnley

Cunha relieves the pressure by dropping back to steal possession from Berge, who trips him. Burnley have had a few fouls from players who have already been booked in recent minutes. That one was soft, but Berge is walking a fine line.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Burnley

Burnley have lost each of their last three Premier League away games – they last had a longer losing run on the road in the division between November 2016 and February 2017 (seven). Can they avoid making it four straight road defeats here?

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Burnley

Wolves are furious as Taylor – who has already been booked – avoids being penalised for dragging Hugo Bueno back. Vitinho then gets down the right to send in a low cross… which Bentley claims.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Burnley

Tresor strikes from the dead ball… and his effort hits Cunha in the wall and flies over. The Burnley substitute takes the resulting corner short to work a better angle, and his cross is cleared by Dawson. Wolves are under pressure now.

Wolves finally make their first change as Bellegarde replaces Sarabia out wide.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Burnley

OVER! Burnley's second corner is cleared as far as Vitinho, who winds up a first-time strike from 20 yards out. It has Bentley worried, but whistles just over the top-right corner as Wolves escape.
