Goal disallowed!<\/strong> Brighton think they\u2019ve taken the lead through Charalampos Kostoulas but he\u2019s flagged offside. Burnley still level.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Crysenio Summerville<\/strong>, back in the West Ham lineup today, looks like a threat down the left. Arias is doing some good defensive work down that side after his goal.<\/p>\n

Hibs take the lead<\/strong> at struggling Kilmarnock through Elie Youan, 1-0.<\/p>\n

Penalty shout:<\/strong> West Ham\u2019s Freddie Potts goes down in the penalty area but VAR says no. There was a little bit of contact but clearly not enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just fried two eggs<\/strong> for lunch<\/strong>, and broke the yolks in both, so I\u2019m in a bad mood,\u201d<\/em> writes Matt Dony. \u201cAs such, I am less than charitable towards the lowly. As Wolves are clearly, clearly going down, I hope they set an absolute comedy record points total. Ideally stick where they are, and lose every game from here on. Come on West Ham. Do it, for comedy\u2019s sake. (And apologies to Wolves fans. But, hey, it\u2019s not like you\u2019ll be expecting much else!)”<\/em><\/p>\n

If that\u2019s not got you in the mood, the teams are out and shaking hands at a snowy Molineux and a very chilly Amex Stadium. Kick-off is next!<\/p>\n

    Will today be the day for Wolves?<\/strong> After impressive performances in defeats at Arsenal and Liverpool, plus Tuesday\u2019s draw at Manchester United, it looks as if Rob Edwards is gradually making his team competitive in the Premier League once again.<\/p>\n

    That first league win of the season is still to be earned but the omens are good. Wolves have already beaten West Ham at Molineux this campaign \u2013 in the Carabao Cup in August \u2013 and Graham Potter was in charge the last time the Hammers won away from home \u2013 at Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo\u2019s Nottingham Forest in August.<\/p>\n

    Edwards spoke to the media yesteday:<\/p>\n

    The intensity levels are better. There\u2019s more of a confidence and belief but that\u2019s only going to come from more results and more performances and being more consistent with what we do. There are certainly certain things that we\u2019ve improved on, but it\u2019s a difficult league, and we came in at a difficult moment, so it was always going to be hard to instantly get those results. I said to the lads after the [United] game that we need to get that performance level at home. That\u2019s the most important thing for us now.<\/p>\n

    West Ham and Burnley<\/strong> will be pleased to hear of Nottingham Forest\u2019s defeat at Villa Park. And Wolves, I guess, if we\u2019re being nice.<\/p>\n

    Santiago Bueno<\/strong> is fit enough to start for Wolves<\/strong> \u2013 he is the only change from the lineup that got a draw at Manchester United in midweek. Mateus Man\u00e9, 18, continues to start in midfield. J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen, a transfer target for today\u2019s opponents, is on the bench.<\/p>\n

    Striker Pablo Felipe<\/strong>, signed from Gil Vicente yesterday, could make his West Ham<\/strong> debut from the bench. Lucas Paquet\u00e1 and Jean-Clair Todibo are ruled out.<\/p>\n

    Preamble<\/h2>\n

    Hello and welcome to the afternoon\u2019s clockwatch. Attention in the Premier League turns to the battle for survival, with all of the bottom three in action at 3pm (GMT). Wolves<\/strong> are still looking for their first win of the season and host West Ham<\/strong>, who are four points from safety. Burnley<\/strong>, six points adrift of 17th, visit a Brighton <\/strong>side who are without a win in six.<\/p>\n

    There\u2019s no EFL action today \u2013 a full programme is slated for tomorrow \u2013 but we do have Scottish football<\/strong> to keep tabs on. The Old Firm got under way earlier on.<\/p>\n

    The knockout stages of Afcon<\/strong> kick off this afternoon with a last 16 clash between Senegal and Sudan at 4pm, plus we\u2019ll have updates from league fixtures across Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re off to a game or watching on TV, feel free to get in touch and let us know.<\/p>\n
