Here are the teams still in the comp:
WOLVES 0 – 0 SOUTHAMPTON
45+3 mins: Half time. No goals, all square. There’s been a lack of creativity in the final third for both teams. Southampton have made the better chances and it feels like only a matter of time before they take one. We’ll find out after the break.
WOLVES 0 – 0 SOUTHAMPTON
45 mins: Three minutes of added time to play at the end of the first half.
WOLVES 0 – 0 SOUTHAMPTON

WOLVES 0 – 0 SOUTHAMPTON
39 mins: Moutinho delivers a Wolves free kick into the area. Ward-Prowse wins the first ball and heads it out to Djenepo who puts his foot through the ball to boot it down the other end of the pitch.
WOLVES 0 – 0 SOUTHAMPTON
36 mins: Ward-Prowse catches Fabio Silva with a late challenge and gives away a free kick in the middle of the park. There’s been a number of low-level fouls which has created a stop-start nature to the game after that intense start from Southampton.
WOLVES 0 – 0 SOUTHAMPTON
33 mins: Gibbs-White takes the ball on the turn in midfield and he slots a nice ball into the left side of the box for Silva. He collects the ball but is forced out wide so passes it back to Vitinha. He squares it towards Joao Moutinho but Ings is tracking back and makes the interception.
WOLVES 0 – 0 SOUTHAMPTON
30 mins: Dendoncker gives the ball to Hoever on the right wing. He knocks the ball into the right side of the box for Morgan Gibbs-White. He gets to the ball first before Mohammed Salisu clips his leg and he goes down. Wolves want a penalty but Jon Moss plays on and there isn’t enough evidence for VAr to overturn.
WOLVES 0 – 0 SOUTHAMPTON
24 mins: Vitinha took a hit from Djenepo in the follow through after his attempt on goal. The Wolves man went down and is being checked over. There’s a pause in the game but he looks like he’ll be okay.
