Just saying Wolves were getting on top and they create the best opportunity of the game.

Matt Doherty breaks free down the right after some neat Helder Costa skill and pulls the ball across the face of goal. Saints get a toe on it but only as far as Jonny whose fierce shot is palmed away by Alex McCarthy.

The golden shirts are starting to win the second balls in midfield. Joao Moutinho picks up possession fully 35 yards out and lets fly.

It sails harmlessly into the crowd.

Incisive passing from Wolves and Diogo Jota is cleaned out by Jannik Vestergaard on the edge of the area once again.

Referee Stuart Attwell is keeping his cards in his pocket but the Dane must be on thin ice.

Shooting chance for Wolves.

Diogo Jota slips past Jannik Vestergaard who dumps him unceremoniously to the floor. Alex McCarthy organises his wall as Ruben Neves lines up the free kick.

It flicks off the wall and goes behind for today's first corner.

Both sides looking to play the ball on the floor so far, Wolves with that unbeaten home record to protect are allowing Southampton plenty of possession in the early moments.

Nothing troubling either defence yet.

Here we go.

Here come the teams - Wolves in their traditional gold and black and Southampton in their usual red and white strip.

It's gloriously sunny in the West Midlands.

Wolves continue to win new admirers. Their excellent performance in the draw at Manchester United persuaded more observers that Nuno's side rank as one of the best new arrivals to the Premier League in years.

Anyone who witnessed their stroll to the Championship title will know that there's more to come - and turning numerous chances into goals is their main issue.

Goals have been a long-term problem for Southampton, so Danny Ings' availability is a major boost.

He has scored three of their six so far and is surely the main threat to Wolves' unbeaten home record that stretches back to January.

Southampton manager Mark Hughes is in bullish mood ahead of this one.

"We're a work in progress but for the most part I'm pleased with our general play. Wolves will be a challenge. They’re at home and they’ve got a big crowd who will roar them on.

"But I just sense we’re looking forward to the game.

"If we can go to Anfield and ask questions of a very good Liverpool team, then certainly we can do that to Wolves."

Former Wolves striker Steve Bull on Football Focus:

"There is a massive buzz here. It has opened my eyes. The new owners have come in and put money where their mouth is and they are showing it on the field now.

"I’m looking at top 10 for Wolves. I say give it 10 games to make your predictions, it takes time to get it right. Six games in they are looking a force to be dealt with."

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo is not getting carried away with his side's excellent start to the season.

"We cannot dream and expect these things to happen.

"The way to do it is work harder, in the training sessions, knowing the players' confidence and talent will come naturally.

"My squad is showing what we expect them to show. When the chance comes, they must be ready and work hard on a daily basis."

Wolves are unchanged for the seventh Premier League game in a row after their impressive performance in last week's 1-1 draw at Man Utd.

Ivan Cavaleiro returned in the midweek Carabao Cup tie and he's named among the substitutes.

Southampton make three changes to the side well beaten at Liverpool.

Danny Ings leads the line after being ineligible against his parent club and he is joined up front by Charlie Austin. Norwegian international Mo Elyounoussi also returns for the Saints.
