ALMOST spoke too soon there as Sergi Darder appears to beat the offside trap and forces a great save out of Rui Patricio but the flag does, eventually, go up for offside.

Espanyol have certainly started well but Rui Patricio has had nothing to do in the Wolves goal. The visitors are coping well with whatever the home side can throw at their defence.

Victor Gomez goes down rather theatrically following a pretty innocuous challenge by Ruben Vinagre.

Jonathan Calleri then flashes the ball across the face of goal as Espanyol attack once again.

Wolves are starting to get a foot on the ball now and win their first corner of the game. Joao Moutinho plays it short to Daniel Podence, who gives the ball straight back to Moutinho but his cross is cleared.

Adama Traore drives forward with the ball before he is shown an early yellow card after catching Oscar Melendo with his arm.

Willy Boly heads a ball into the box before Sergi Darder drives a low cross back into the mix but again it is cleared. A positive start by the hosts as they look to claw back into this.

Looking forward to seeing how this Wolves front three of Adama Traore, Daniel Podence and Morgan Gibbs-White link up tonight. They've not been able to yet with Espanyol dominating possession but not really worrying the visitors as yet.

Wolves get things under way in Barcelona.

Paul: So much respect for the Espanyol fans who have turned up tonight. Proper fans who support their team even when it looks bleak. Not like those fans which all clubs have who only turn up when things are going well.

The players are out on the pitch and there are indeed plenty of empty seats in the home end. Will those that have turned up witness an unlikely comeback?

Espanyol XI: Andres, Gomez, Calero, Naldo, Pedrosa, Melendo, Victor Sanchez, David Lopez, Darder, Vargas, Calleri.

Subs: Pipa, Wu, Ferreyra, Diego Lopez, Cabrera, Embarba, Lozano.

Wolves XI: Rui Patricio, Boly, Coady, Kilman, Doherty, Dendoncker, Gibbs-White, Joao Moutinho, Ruben Vinagre, Traore, Daniel Podence.

Subs: Campana, Bruno Jordao, Pedro Neto, Jimenez, Ruddy, Saiss, Rasmussen.

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo told BT Sport: "It's a new game and a new challenge. I'm always worried. The history of football has taught us not to relax. We must be on the game all the time."

On what he expects from his five changes: "Their talent, because they have the quality and the organisation and I think they can give us a good solution. We have other options and we have a squad that we must manage well and give them competition."

Wolves fans have travelled over in good numbers but don't expect a massive turnout from the home fans.

Only the most optimistic will fancy Espanyol to turn things around, especially with the hosts having won just two of their last 14 games at home.

Arsenal are in a good position to progress to the last 16 thanks to Alexandre Lacazette's late goal in the first leg.

The Gunners have lost just once since Mikel Arteta took charge in December but the former midfielder says his side are still very much a work in progress.

"What I can tell you is I am really proud to manage this football club at the moment and really happy with how everyone is reacting around the club," he said.

"We have a long way to go in this process, to develop a lot of things that I want to implement. We need time."
