GOAL! Wolves 1-1 Brentford (Semedo 36)
Nelson Semedo ranges it up for the hosts at Molineux. Wolves are hoping to achieve their first closing since 1960. It was a match they received simply, 3-0 over ten-man Blackburn Rovers, an occasion so one-sided, predictable and boring they have been pelted by apple cores and scrunched-up programmes throughout their lap of honour. Po’ Wolves! Some wrongs to be made proper there.

Bristol City 1-0 West Ham. City midfielder Joe Williams can be happy there’s no VAR at Ashton Gate tonight.
