PENALTY TO WOLVES! It's a poor touch from Johnstone when it comes back to him and he lunges towards the ball, going just over it and catching Neto. The referee is in no doubt as he points straight to the spot.

Into five minutes of stoppage time here and it's Wolves that are on the attack at the moment. Neves manages to poke it forward for Neto down the right, but he can't get it out of his feet before Guehi gets across to him.

Wolves are still standing firm in defence at the moment as Palace come again. Olise breezes past Toti this time, but once more, the cross lets him down as Nunes makes the block this time.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
21:13
Palace loose the ball in the centre circle and Toti's quick-thinking sets Traore on the charge down the left. He can't shake Mitchell though, and his blocked cross ends up rebounding out off him for a goal-kick.

Neves is everywhere at the moment as he breaks up three attempts by Palace to get it into the Wolves box. The visitors eventually switch it out to the right to try and get away from him, but Olise can't pick out a cross.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
21:08
Palace are trying to up the pressure again here, but they're stopped from taking a quick throw-in by the Wolves fans refusing to give the ball back. When Mitchell does take it, Ayew swiftly loses possession.

CLOSE! Yet again, Olise's corner picks out a Wolves man first, and it drops to Hughes on the edge of the box this time. He lays it off to Eze, who tries his luck from range again, but this one loops over after hitting Kilman's shoulder.

21:03
GREAT SAVE! Another corner for Palace is cleared by Kilman, but he only gets it as far as Eze. He takes on the shot from range and it drops invitingly to hit on the volley. It's dipping under the bar until Sa's deft touch sends it over.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
21:02
BLOCK! Ayew drops deep to win the ball back on the left before surging forward and cutting inside. He knocks it onto Eze as he makes the overlap and Dawson slides in with a brilliant tackle to block his shot.

Another free-kick for Palace, this time on the left and Eze swings in another good delivery. He's looking for Edouard in the middle, but it's just out of his reach.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:50
It's another good break from Palace, as Ward gets away from Costa to spread it out to Eze in space on the left. He has space to run into but tries to curl an early cross into Ayew instead. It's blocked by Dawson.

Eze just caught Hwang on the shin as he tried to turn away from him. He stays down in need of treatment but will be able to carry on.

20:46
Wolves are still trying to find their rhythm again here as Sa goes long with his clearance. Lemina darts through the middle before he finds his route blocked by Richards.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:43
Palace are without a win in their last six Premier League games when one goal down at half-time (D1 L5), last winning when a goal behind at the break against Wolves in October (2-1).
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:43
Nunes squares it to Costa on the edge of the box and he rides two challenges from Palace defenders before helping it onto Cunha. He can't get it out of his feet quickly enough though, and Neves' long-range strike is straight at Johnstone.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:40
It's a great run from Olise down the right again as he surges past Nunes and Bueno before seeing his cross blocked by Kilman. He takes the resulting corner which is cleared as far as Eze, but he fires wide of the near post.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:37
Palace have started the second half on the front foot, and it's spread out to Olise on the right. He pulls it back to Lokonga instead of cutting inside, but his first-time shot sails over the bar.

Lopetegui will be fairly pleased with what he's seen so far - their early pressure paid off, and they dominated the majority of the half, but without creating too many clear-cut chances. Palace took a while to grow into the game but improved as the half went on, and Hodgson will be looking for much more as they look to get back into it after the break.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:24
Wolves lead Palace 1-0 at the break thanks to an early own goal. It was a dream start for the hosts, who went ahead just under three minutes into the game as Neves' corner was inadvertently turned in by Andersen off the underside of the bar. Johnstone had already been forced into a good save by that point, though wasn't troubled too much after that. Sa also made a brilliant stop at the other end, reacting to tip Ayew's half-volley wide.

Hwang wins another corner off Mitchell and Neves whips a good cross into the near post. Kilman loses his marker and thumps a header on, but it flies over the bar.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:15
Lemina was down holding his ankle, but he was able to get up without treatment. At the same time, Palace's physio comes on to help Andersen, who is down with what looks like cramp.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:14
Palace are really starting to up the pressure here and Wolves can't get out of their own half. Mitchell fizzes a dangerous cross into the six-yard box which the defenders daren't touch, but Ayew doesn't get to it either.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:13
Olise swings two corners into the box, both of which are cleared by the hosts. Richards picks it up on the halfway line and sends it forward once more, but Lokonga can't bring it down.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:11
GREAT SAVE! Olise's cross is chested down by Eze on the far side into Milivojevic's feet on the edge of the D. His low, drilled shot is blocked by Hughes, but his touch bounces to Ayew, whose half-volley is tipped wide by Sa.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:11
Good chance for Sambi, whose strike is parried away by Sá.

Richards is given the freedom to leisurely bring the ball into Wolves' half, but he doesn't have a lot of options ahead of him. The hosts drop deep into their shape, closing off all the space.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:07
Wolves attempt to break quickly after Eze gives the ball away and Hwang looks to set Neves away through the middle. Lokonga slides in late on him from behind, picking up a booking.

20:06
Ten to go in the half and we still lead by one.

20:06
Richards' attempted clearance hits Nunes and bounces straight to Bueno off the corner flag. He wriggles his way into the box before pulling it back to Lemina, but his shot curls high and wide of the far top corner.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:04
Ayew is judged to have fouled Kilman as he held up the ball, and Wolves go straight down the other end from the free-kick. Semedo still has acres of space down the right, but can't pick out a cross this time.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
20:02
SAVE! Mitchell touches it infield to Eze and he drifts past two Wolves players to open up some space just outside the D. He gets some power behind the shot, but it's straight down the middle at Sa.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
19:59
There are big shouts for handball from the home fans and Semedo as they're claiming it hit Mitchell's arm when it bounced up. Any possible contact came well outside the box and it's only a corner for Wolves.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
19:57
Palace almost play themselves into trouble at the back as Mitchell knocks it back to Johnstone while Costa is hovering. The forward rushes to try and reach it, but it's cleared just before he gets there.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
19:56
SAVE! Semedo's cross is too high for Costa in the middle, but Bueno recycles it on the far side. Johnstone reaches his deflected ball first to push it away and Hwang scuffs at the volley as it drops.

This is the third time that Palace have conceded first in a Premier League game under Hodgson this season (his fifth game), but they came back to win the previous two (2-1 v Leicester and 5-1 v Leeds United).
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
19:53
Wolves are back on the attack again here, with Neves once more looking to their right side. Lemina can't find any space on the wing though, with Mitchell sticking tight to him.

Dawson easily beats Ayew in an aerial challenge, but the forward crashes into him as he does. Ayew slowly gets back to his feet without needing treatment, and Palace's free-kick comes to nothing.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
19:49
The Wolves defenders are drawn to Hughes on the left of the box, so he squares it to Olise. Lokonga has space to his right and looks for him, but the Belgian loses his footing and ends up completely missing the ball.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
19:47
Neves spins before playing another great pass over the top to look for Hwang's run down the right. He leaves Mitchell well behind him but is stopped by the linesman's flag.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
19:43
Yellow Card Luka Milivojević
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
19:43
It's a poor pass from Eze to try and pick out Ayew's run, allowing Dawson to get across and clear it. Olise cuts it out, but again, can't pick out a team-mate ahead of him.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
19:41
Palace are pressing much higher upfield now and making it difficult for Wolves to play out from the back. Sa is forced to go long to Semedo, who takes a loose touch, but Milivojevic can't pick out Eze for a counter.

It's better from Palace, who get out of their own half for the first time in this game. Eze threads it through to Ayew in the box, and the angle is against him, but he takes on the shot, firing it against Dawson.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
19:37
GOOD SAVE! Wolves are on the attack again, this time pushing forward down their right. Costa holds it up before spreading it out to Semedo on the right. Cunha misses it at the near post, and Johnstone stretches out a leg to get it away.

Hodgson makes four changes to the side that drew with Everton on Saturday. Richards, Lokonga, Milivojevic and Hughes come in, which will allow Eze to play in a more advanced role. Ward, Doucoure, Schlupp and Edouard start on the bench.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace

Julen Lopetegui makes just three changes from the defeat to Leicester last time out. Bueno, Neves and Hwang are all brought in, and Lemina has recovered from a hamstring problem he picked up in that game to retain his place. Toti, Sarabia and Gomes all drop to the bench.
