Wolves get this game underway!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this Premier League match between Southampton and Wolves at St Mary's Stadium.
Bottom-of-the-table Southampton find themselves four points from safety after losing eight of their last nine Premier League games. With the fans starting to turn against Nathan Jones, the Saints' boss is under pressure to turn around his team's woeful form at St Mary's.
Wolves will be confident they've turned a corner after thumping Liverpool 3-0 at Molineux last time out. The West Midlanders have undoubtedly improved since Julen Lopetegui's arrival, although they remain the Premier League's lowest goalscorers. If they can start finding the net more, they may well be able to pull away from danger.
SUBS: Joe Aribo, Che Adams, Lyanco, Sekou Mara, Willy Caballero, Samuel Edozie, Theo Walcott, Stuart Armstrong, Adam Armstrong.
SOUTHAMPTON (4-2-3-1): Gavin Bazunu; James Bree, Jan Bednarek, Mohammed Salisu, Romain Perraud; Carlos Alcaraz, Romeo Lavia; Ainsley Maitland-Niles, James Ward-Prowse (c), Kamaldeen Sulemana; Paul Onuachu.
SUBS: Daniel Bentley, Hugo Bueno, Raul Jimenez, Nathan Collins, Diego Costa, Pedro Neto, Jonny, Gomes, Adama Traore.
WOLVES (4-2-3-1): Jose Sa; Nelson Semedo, Craig Dawson, Maximilian Kilman, Rayan Ait Nouri; Mario Lemina, Ruben Neves (c); Pablo Sarabia, Joao Moutinho, Matheus; Matheus Cunha.
Wolves remain on the up, then. Southampton, meanwhile, are only going down on current form, and Jones may be on his way out. That's all for now. Goodbye!
