Five minutes to go...
A reminder of team news as we approach kick-off at the Molineux Stadium...
Maybe too loud at the Molineux?
Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe at the Molineux:
"It's loud at the Molineux. But not because the atmosphere is rocking, the speakers are just very loud.
"Some might even say overwhelming."
Saints struggling in front of goal
Southampton have scored just seven goals in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other side.
Indeed, Saints have scored more goals in their three EFL Cup matches this term (9) than they have in their 10 league games.
Warm reception for Neves
Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe at the Molineux:
"Ruben Neves is shown on the big screen and the South Bank stand erupts into chants of his name.
"Really warm reception for the former midfielder."
Wolves under fire
Only Brentford (74) have faced more shots on target than Wolves in the Premier League this season (67).
Only in 2011-12 (7) have they averaged more shots on target faced per game in a single campaign in the competition than their 6.7 so far this term.

Cunha impressing despite Wolves' struggles
Can Wolves turn their poor start around?
Wolves remain winless in their 10 Premier League games so far this season (D3 L7) – only in 1983-84 have they ever had a longer run without a win from the start of a league campaign (14), going on to finish bottom of the top-flight that season.
O'Neil: We are desperate to end the run
Wolves boss Gary O'Neil speaking in his programme notes:
"Similar to ourselves, Southampton have had a difficult start to their season and I know exactly what Russell has been going through, as well as how delighted and relieved he must have been feeling at full-time of their win over Everton last weekend.
"That is a feeling we are desperate to experience, and I can assure fans that we have been doing everything we can to try bring our unwanted run to an end this weekend."
Neves in attendance
Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe at the Molineux:
"Former Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves - who left the club to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal in 2023 - is in attendance today.
"He's currently walking around on crutches after undergoing surgery to solve a knee issue which will rule him out until the New Year.
"People are lining up for conversations with him. Still a very popular clearly!"
