17'
Dunn's corner goes through everybody in the sexi yard box before flicking off Johnson's head and going out for another corner.
16'
Pedersen and Hoilett link up well down the left. The latter gets to the byline before crossing. Stearman clears for a corner.
15'
Formica is going to have a bit of trouble with the two big centre-halves today. The striker hasn't won a single header as of yet. The hosts will need to play it in to his feet.
14'
Pedersen's corner is dangerous. Hennessey looks to come and claim but misjudges the flight of the ball. Fortunately for the keeper, the ball drifts to safety.
13'
Hoilett bursts down the right and looks to cross. He shows too much of the ball to Berra and is tackled.
12'
Doyle has been taken to the sideline. His head is bleeding and will need to be strapped up before can come back on.
11'
Doyle is down after a clash of heads with Nzonzi. He's receiving treatment on the pitch.
10'
Hunt and Salgado are having a tough battle at the minute. There's been a few big tackles thrown in. That will be an interesting match-up today.
9'
Hunt crosses from the left. Nzonzi clears, but only as far as O'Hara on the edge of the box. The midfielder volleys towards goal but his right-fotted effort is poor. Robinson claims.
8'
Hunt looks to have been put through as he bares down towards the penalty area. Nzonzi, who is playing at the back comes across to cut the ball out.
7'
Blackburn's passing hasn't been up to scratch as of yet. The hosts have been guilty of giving away possession rather easily...
6'
Jervis cuts in from the left before firing at goal. It flashes wide of the left post. The winger is claiming a corner but the ref awards a goal.

Pedersen crosses from the right towards the far post when Hoilett is waiting. The striker flicks the ball towards goal. GOAL?? No. It looks close but Hennessey claws it away.
4'
Berra is under pressure from Roberts when facing his own goal. He clears it for a throw-in.
3'
Wolves aren't giving the hosts a second on the ball. Whenever a Blackburn player is in possession, they are quickly surrounded by a gold shirt.
2'
Henry, who has been stripped of the captaincy this season, is penalised for a foul on Emerton.

14:45
The hosts did the double over Wolves last season - their 3-0 win at Ewood Park in December was Sam Allardyce's last home game in charge.
