    Wolves are just seeing out the game. It is a professional performance. Adama Traore is the difference maker. Palace's, Wilfried Zaha, was on the bench for a long time.

    Probably just as well he didn't come up as John Ruddy caught the ball and could have launched it downfield.

  7. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:29 Greenwich Mean Time 8 January 2021

    Aston Villa 1-4 Liverpool

    Thiago almost makes it five for Liverpool. A loose ball lands to the half-time sub 20 yards out and he curls one off the crossbar. That would have been his first goal for the club.

    Morgan Gibbs-White marks his return to the Wolves team with a yellow card. Both he and Patrick Cutrone - who have been recalled from loan spells - are on the pitch now.

    Palace have to play more on the floor and those changes mean they are still playing 4-4-2 but it is designed to get the more technical players on the ball.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:16 Greenwich Mean Time 8 January 2021

    Wolves 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Two Palace changes - Christian Benteke and James McCarthy are off for Wilfried Zaha and Tyrick Mitchell.
