    Brighton 0-0 Wolves

    Wolves win the game's first corner but it comes to nothing. Adama Traore is judged to have handled the ball. There's plenty of pressure on Traore today since he's the player brought in in Wolves' first change to their starting XI all season.

    Brighton 0-0 Wolves

    I'm looking forward to watching Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves again today. It could be tough for Brighton in midfield with both Pascal Gross and Davy Propper still out injured. Neves is dropping deep already to collect the ball from the defence.

    Glenn Murray gets a huge cheer from the home fans when his name is read out before kick-off. Brighton must be delighted their top scorer is fit.

    It has been 37 years since Brighton last won three consecutive top-flight games, but they could achieve that this weekend.

    Chris Hughton's side have held their nerve in tight back-to-back encounters against West Ham and Newcastle, and they will fancy their chances against a Wolves side looking to recover from their worst performance of the season in losing at home to Watford.

    That may have been a bit of a wake-up call to a team which seemed to have adapted seamlessly to Premier League football. It may even prompt Nuno Espirito Santo to change his starting line-up for the first time this season.

    And here come the players. Referee Anthony Taylor picks up the yellow match ball. It's in use for the first time this season.

    Winter is coming.

    Wolves could go sixth with a win today.

    Brighton could edge into the top half with a comfortable win and in doing so move above Manchester United after 10 games.

    Wolves

    It has finally happened. Wolves have made a change to their starting line-up this season. The record run ends at nine games as Adama Traore comes in up front for Diogo Jota.

    Apart from that it's as you were for Nuno Espirito Santo's side.

    Wolves: Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Costa Jimenez, Traore.

    Subs: Ruddy (GK), Cavaleiro, Gibbs-White, Jota, Vinagre, Dendoncker, Bonatini.

    Brighton

    The big Brighton team news is that top scorer Glenn Murray starts.

    He suffered concussion last week at Newcastle but chief executive Paul Barber told BBC Radio 5 live Sport earlier that Murray was available for selection and Chris Hughton has handed him a start.

    That means Brighton are unchanged from the team that won at Newcastle last week.

    Brighton: Ryan, Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bong, Jahanbakhsh, Stephens, Kayal, Izquierdo, March, Murray

    Subs: Steele, Bissouma, Locadia, Andone, Knockaert, Balogun, Bernardo.

    Hello! It's time for Brighton v Wolves at the Amex.

    Brighton turn up today in fine form. A win today would see them win three in a row in the top flight for the first time in 37 years.

    Wolves meanwhile come into this on the back of their worst performance of the season. They lost 2-0 at home to Watford last week but still sit ninth in the table.

    Let's get to it...

    Today two teams meet who have impressed since their promotion to the Premier League.

    Brighton did so first, comfortably staying up last year, and now Wolves are aiming to do the same in their first season back in the big time.

    Who will win today?
