  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 72 mins

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    Another change for Wolves as Helder Costa comes on to replace Leo Bonatini.

    You would suggest that the visitors will look to hit the Owls on the break if they want a second.

    The answer is that Ryan Bennett goes to right wing back and Matt Doherty moves to the left.

    There's little doubt that Sheffield Wednesday are asking questions of Wolves this evening without really testing John Ruddy... yet.

    Are Wolves the Championship's best ever side?

    Ben Tarling: Best team has to be Reading! 106 points in a season is the record and until someone passes that Reading will remain the best team in history.

    Jake: Wolves are playing good football, they are starting to run away at the top. My dad supports them so he's annoyingly happy. It still shocks me when I realise Wolves have Ruben Neves, a player who captained Porto in the Champions League at 18. Still plenty of potential.

    Ben Spencer: Weren’t Fulham in the 1998-99 Second Division (as was), rather than Championship (as is)?

    You're right, Ben, but we like to acknowledge the fact that second-tier football existed before the 'Championship'...

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 67 mins

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    Wolves react to Wednesday throwing on extra height by bringing on club captain and former Owls loanee Danny Batth in place of Ruben Vinagre.

    It will be interesting to see how Wolves line up from here.

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    The switch almost pays instant dividends as Gary Hooper gets in behind the Wolves defence but takes a heavy touch at just the wrong time.

    Moments later Liam Palmer swings over a cross from the right but Lucas Joao is ruled to have tugged back Ryan Bennett in the box.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 64 mins

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    A double change for the home side as they look to the bench and call upon giant forwards Atdhe Nuhiu and Lucas Joao replacing Jordan Rhodes and Jacob Butterfield.

    You sense they might be going direct.

    It comes moments after Leo Bonatini dribbles a shot narrowly wide for Wolves.

  7. U's come from behind to leadpublished at 21:08 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2017

    Swindon 1-2 Colchester

    Swindon have struggled with their home form in recent times and their visitors have turned the tables on them tonight.

    Having gone behind, Colchester are now ahead - Mikael Mandron on hand to head home Kyel Reid's tantalising free-kick.

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    Almost a second for Wolves.

    Ivan Cavaleiro whips a free-kick into the box but Romain Saiss flashes a header wide.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 60 mins

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    Morgan Fox becomes the fourth player to be shown the yellow card for a clear trip on Ivan Cavaleiro in midfield.

    Without it the forward was running at the heart of the home defence.

    There are just under 24,000 at Hillsborough this evening, the majority of which are baying for an equaliser.

    Will it come or will Wolves hang on for a 16th win in 22 games this season.

  11. CLOSE!published at 56 mins

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    So close to an equaliser for Sheffield Wednesday.

    Adam Reach bursts down the left and crosses to the far post to pick out Gary Hooper.

    The angle is too tight to go for goal so the striker tries to pick out Ross Wallace for a tap in but Ruben Neves is on hand to clear. A timely intervention.

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    In a flash Wolves are on the attack and win a first corner as Morgan Fox struggles to cope with Matt Doherty's surge.

    Ivan Cavaleiro plays it short but at no stage is the Wednesday goal threatened.

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    Wolves are getting pinned back here by the home side.

    This is an impressive effort from an injury-hit Sheffield Wednesday side who can feel slightly unfortunate to be behind.

    They've dominated this game in terms of possession and territory but are behind on the only stat that counts.

    Are Wolves the Championship's best ever side?

    Kevin KeeganImage source, Empics

    Derek Carter: Kevin Keegan’s Fulham. No discussion needed.

    Element: Wolves best ever Championship team? Well as a supporter definitely the best Wolves side I’ve ever watched. Yes, money has been spent, but Nuno is a great manager and tactician. #wolvesenvy, external

    So that would be the 1998-99 campaign, Derek, when Fulham finished 14 points clear. Keegan then became England boss...

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    A third Sheffield Wednesday corner soon follows but Wolves again stand firm.

    The Owls have begun the second half on the front foot and carve out an opening when an Adam Reach cross is only partially cleared but Liam Palmer slices an attempted left-foot shot from the edge of the box horribly off target.

    Mel Eves
    Former Wolves forward on BBC WM

    "Sheffield Wednesday have been one of the best footballing teams that Wolves have faced this season.

    "They are being tested to the full."

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    Straight from kick-off Ryan Bennett concedes the first of back-to-back corners, but Wolves see off the danger.

  18. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Wolves

    We're back under way at Hillsborough with Sheffield Wednesday chasing an equaliser.

    Can they avoid a second home defeat of the season?

  19. Kent levels for U's in Wiltshirepublished at 20:48 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2017

    Swindon 1-1 Colchester

    The second half has begun at the County Ground, where Swindon squandered their lead on the stroke of half time.

    It was the last kick of the half, with Frankie Kent powering the ball in at the far post from a Colchester corner.

    It's all to play for.

  20. What's coming up...published at 20:42 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2017

    We'll be back with you at 14:00 GMT tomorrow to bring you all of Saturday's action across the EFL.
