Wolves vs Southampton

Wolves host Southampton on Saturday at Molineux and the pressure is on Bruno Lage as his side continue to search for their first win of the season.

However, Kalajdzic was injured on his Wolves debut and came off at half time, while Jimenez was also injured in the warm-up and had to be withdrawn from the squad. They drew 0-0 at Bournemouth on Wednesday and the frustration of their players and manager was clear to see. As for Southampton, they’re full of confidence heading into this one and they’ve navigated a tough start to the season extremely well. For the starting lineup, Lage has dropped Raul Jimenez and brings in new striker Sasa Kalajdzic, while Daniel Podence also comes in. Let’s see if Saints can now make the most of their unexpected fast start to the campaign. There is a lot of negativity swirling around Wolves as Lage’s side dominate possession in games but just can’t put away chances and it appears to be more of a mental block that anything else.

Wolverhampton: Jose Sa, Ait Nouri, Collins, Kilman, Jonny, Matheus Luiz, Neves, Joao Moutinho, Pedro Neto, Kalajdzic, Daniel Podence. Subs: Jimenez, Hwang, ...

Southampton have dropped more points from winning positions than any other Premier League side since Ralph Hasenhuttl took charge in December 2018 (89). Neto appears to be released in behind, but Bazunu races out of his goal and just gets to the ball in the nick of time and sends it out of play. However, the referee isn't interested and nothing is given. Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Southampton Austria striker Kalajdzic, signed on Wednesday from Stuttgart for £15million, replaced Raul Jimenez in Bruno Lage's starting line-up, while Rayan Ait-Nouri and Daniel Podence also returned to the side. Good positioning by the keeper. Wolves' new signing Sasa Kalajdzic made his debut in their home Premier League game against Southampton.

Expressandstar.com brings you live coverage as Wolves face Southampton in the Premier League.

Bruno Lage has handed Sasa Kalajdzic a quickfire Wolverhampton Wanderers debut against Southampton today. Kalajdzic only joined Wolves from Stuttgart on ...

Kalajdzic will lead the line for Wolves though, with Daniel Podence and Pedro Neto in support of the Austrian. "I cannot put pressure on him and say tomorrow he is going to score three goals. Kalajdzic only joined Wolves from Stuttgart on Wednesday and he hasn't been able to train properly with his new teammates in the build-up to the game, as Lage explained yesterday.

The arrivals of defender Nathan Collins, midfielder Matheus Nunes, winger Goncalo Guedes and striker Sasa Kalejdic will no doubt please fans, but perhaps just ...

The excitement is palpable..I wont be in to watch the desperate hunt for a goal so enjoy the match gentlemen. Of the Nunes and Guedes duo, they both have been a little slow off the mark so far, though Nunes clearly has something about him. We do have a decent record versus Southampton of late and so I've backed us .... in what has been a disappointing start to the new season devoid of a win so far, what impact witll the changes have on the team. Just wondered if you were trying to wind them up with the 'Notts' Forest reference!! Having said that, I want him to do well for the good of Wolves. I have always found him to be an incipid type of character and certainly no Nuno. For what it's worth, I have a sneaking feeling we could win our first match today. Well it's pretty fair to say that the players who have left the club have struggled to maintain starting places - or in some cases squad places - so far whilst the new players have been slotted into the team fairly quickly, in an attempt to familiarise them with the Premier League.

Leander Dendoncker has crossed the midlands to Villa to be replaced by Boubacar Traore on loan.

"Players are arriving, we don't have time to train and have to put them straight into the games. "We had good chances to take something," Hasenhuttl said. The team that finished pre-season and the team we have now are so different. "That we don't score today is normally not possible. I told the players it's one win, we have to build on it.

Wolves beat Southampton in a tight, tense clash at Molineux, as Bruno Lage's side grabbed their first win of the season, and first win in 13 PL games.

However, Kalajdzic was injured on his Wolves debut and came off at half time, while Jimenez was also injured in the warm-up and had to be withdrawn from the squad. They drew 0-0 at Bournemouth on Wednesday and the frustration of their players and manager was clear to see. As for Southampton, they’re full of confidence heading into this one and they’ve navigated a tough start to the season extremely well. There is a lot of negativity swirling around Wolves as Lage’s side dominate possession in games but just can’t put away chances and it appears to be more of a mental block that anything else. Southampton’s young side are very talented but there will be a few ups and downs this season, as they miss now make the most out of games against Brentford, Aston Villa and Everton to build on their strong start. Let’s see if Saints can now make the most of their unexpected fast start to the campaign. Che Adams will score that chance 99 times out of 100 and had Saints made it 1-1 with 30 minutes to go, surely another comeback win was on the cards. Watch out for Che Adams, who has been leading the line superbly. They now face Manchester City and Liverpool and some of the pressure is off Lage after their first win in 13 Premier League games. From Podence’s scuffed shot to Che Adams’ incredible error, Wolves dug deep and worked as hard as ever and they had the rub of the green. Matheus Nunes also produced a lovely assist and caused Saints plenty of problems with his clever runs and passing. Wolves don’t score a lot of goals (just three this season) and having their two main strikers out injured is far from ideal, but it sounds like both will be okay.

Daniel Podence netted just before half time to take lead against Southampton · Che Adams goes close to equaliser but has goal ruled out for handball ...

But it’s frustrating to see the ball in the net and it’s not a goal.’ said Hasenhuttl. As the final whistle went, there were cheers from the South Bank as Lage took in the applause, raised his arms and bowed to the home support, who have stuck by their managers side, as evidenced by the chanting of his name both before and after the game. Che Adams missed a golden opportunity to level after Jose Sa could only parry Aribo’s cross but Adams mistimed his jump on virtually the goalline as his header struck his arm on the way in and the goal was disallowed. In the end, it took a rather fortuitous strike from the impressive Daniel Podence, alongside an array of missed Southampton chances to give the home side a hard-earned first win of the season. Lage was forced into a change with Kalajdzic’s debut ended prematurely after he went down holding his knee late in the first half. Podence could easily have squared it to Kalajdzic but instead scuffed his shot, yet to his relief and to the delight of the home support, Southampton keeper Gavin Bazunu had committed himself and the ball bobbled in.
