    Not going to score like that.

    Ashley Barnes tries to spin and hook Chris Woods' knockdown on the edge of the box but the Burnley striker blazes it way over.

    Wolves try to work one from the training ground, Joao Moutinho flicking the ball into the path of Pedro Neto but the strike is straight into the well-built Burnley wall.

    Keep an eye on Daniel Podence.

    It seems like there's quite a lot of space out there in the early exchanges.

    Get some crosses in. It's very wet, these aren't great conditions for goalkeepers.

    First bit of work for Rui Patricio to do but it is catching practise, coming off his line to collect Ashley Westwood's hanging cross.

    Anyway, Burnley have to work out how to put the ball into the back of the net.

    Was going to say, this kick-off time isn't great, it's going to eat into Pointless and House of Games.

    Neither are on tonight though.

    But I'll be done in time for Only Connect :-)

    Wolves

    Owen Otasowie (19 years 350 days) is the third different teenage player to start for Wolves in the Premier League this season (after Fabio Silva and Rayan Ait-Nouri).

    That figure is the joint-most of any team in the competition, along with leaders Liverpool.

    Mark, if the pattern of the weekend continues then this will be 1-1 for me and Tom Rostance will get all the goals against on Chelsea v West Ham.

    He did Palace v Liverpool and Man Utd v Leeds, leaving me to pick up the scraps.

    Not that I've been going on about it.

    Mark: The last two games between these teams have ended 1-1. I think we might be going for the hat trick today. Would prefer a 4-4 though, please.

    Over Christmas, the Claret & Blue Revolution will gather pace as Aston Villa move into the top four. A miserable Christmas? The Baggies...which will make Villa's Christmas even better.

    A lot of Villa fans following this live tonight...

    Winger Adama Traore is on a wretched run of form and has now gone 20 Premier League appearances without a goal or assist.

    The Spain international is yet to sign a new contract at Molineux and boss Nuno Espirito Santo said:, external “I am positive he is going to return to his top level again. I think he is doing well.

    “He has a lot of things to do to improve but he is committed."

    Louis: Aston Villa have got to be one of the happiest sides at Christmas. They are 9th with 2 games in hand on some of the teams around them. They were one of the favourites to go down at the start of the season.

    Wolves

    "Good speed, good speed. Fast, fast, fast. Straight on the *expletive* ball," screams one of the Wolves coaches as the players go through their warm-ups.

    Expecting the visitors to come flying out of the traps.
