Luton remain bottom of the pile with a single point to their name, though they will go above Burnley if the Clarets lose to Manchester United in Saturday's late kick-off. Wolves, meanwhile, jump above Bournemouth into 15th place with four points from seven matches. After their midweek EFL Cup exertions, Luton visit Everton and Wolves host champions Manchester City!
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
17:05
The full-time whistle sounds at Kenilworth Road, and while Luton have their first point as a Premier League club, they may well see this 1-1 draw as a missed opportunity! The Hatters played over 50 minutes with a numerical advantage after Bellegarde was dismissed for a petulant kick, but they failed to make the most of their dominance. Wolves threatened to take all three points when Neto scored a brilliant solo goal on the break, but Luton hit back through Morris' penalty. Wolves will feel aggrieved by the award of that spot-kick, with the ball striking Gomes' foot before deflecting onto his hand.

Over! Luton threaten as Mpanzu threads a neat pass into Morris' feet, only for Kilman to step in with a crucial intervention. The ball drops kindly for Doughty, who flashes his effort just over the bar!
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:21
Wolves are unbeaten in their last seven league games against Luton (W4 D3), winning the last three in a row. This is their first such meeting since a 3-2 win at Kenilworth Road in March 2007. Current Luton boss Edwards started at right-back for Wolves on that day.
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:20
DOUBLE SAVE! Neto swings the free-kick towards the back post, where Lemina stretches to meet it with a diving header. Kaminski is only able to parry his bouncing effort, but the Luton goalkeeper reacts well to smother Kilman's shot on the rebound. Wolves could have been 2-0 up!

16:18
Neto is enjoying himself now. He turns Bell inside-out, beating him three times before the Luton man grows impatient and hauls him down. Wolves have a free-kick out wide on the right.

Goal Pedro Lomba Neto
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:11
GOOD SAVE! Semedo gifts possession to Morris with a dreadful pass, and the striker waits for Ogbene to arrive with an overlapping run before picking him out. Ogbene returns the favour with a chipped cross, and Morris' header is parried and eventually held by Sa.

Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:55

It's still goalless as we reach the interval at Kenilworth Road, and what a chance this could be for Luton to get off the mark!

Just as the visitors looked to be taking control of the match, Bellegarde was shown a straight red card for a mindless kick on Lockyer! Wolves have it all to do from here, and Luton will surely smell blood!

15:52
HALF-TIME: LUTON TOWN 0-0 WOLVES.

Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:43
There's a VAR review to check whether Bellegarde's kick warranted a straight red card, but the on-field decision is swiftly confirmed! The Wolves man might feel hard done by as he was looking to escape a tangle of legs, but you can't lash out like that!

Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:27
Neto finally gets a chance to run at Kabore. He beats the right wing-back with ease before flashing a cross across the face of goal, but there are no blue shirts attacking it.

15:26
Hwang goes down following a tussle with Bell on halfway, claiming he was caught in the face. There was contact, but it was certainly accidental.

Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:20

Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:19

Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:16
Sa is back on his feet and looks set to continue for now.
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:15
This is a concerning moment for Wolves. Sa has gone down in the goalmouth, holding his left foot and appearing to be in some discomfort. He needs to receive treatment, though the home fans are not particularly sympathetic.
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:14
Luton are the Premier League's joint-lowest scorers with two goals (alongside Everton), while only Burnley (12) and Wolves (11) have conceded more than their 10 goals against, even though the Hatters have only played four matches. They have made an impressive start to this game, however.
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:12
OFF THE POST! Luton go so close to the opener! Morris latches onto a loose ball 20 yards from goal before shifting the ball onto his right foot. His curling, long-range effort has Sa beaten, but it bounces off the upright and the visitors can clear!

15:10
Luton fail to make anything of the game's first corner before Bell sees his second delivery blocked. They've done a good job of penning Wolves back early on, however.
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:08
Chance! Ogbene gets down the left to swing a cross into Wolves' area. His delivery is over Morris and Brown is attacking it at the far post, but Ait-Nouri does brilliantly to nod it behind his own goal.
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:06

15:03
As you would expect, there's a fantastic atmosphere here. Luton win a free-kick out wide on the right as Ait-Nouri brings Ogbene down. They'll look to lift this into the Wolves area.
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:02
We're under way for just the second Premier League game to be played at Kenilworth Road! The hosts get us going and go long straight away, but the ball is quickly with Sa.
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:57
Luton are just the second team to lose their first four games as a Premier League club, along with Swindon Town in 1993, who drew 0-0 at Norwich City in their fifth game. Can the Hatters get their campaign up and running here? Kick-off is approaching and we're about to find out!
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:49
Wolves, meanwhile, are unchanged from last week's 3-1 loss to Liverpool. O'Neil's men started that game at breakneck speed and it will be interesting to see whether they can maintain that intensity against less-fancied opponents. Neto leads the Premier League charts for assists (four) and chances created (17) this campaign and should offer a direct outlet on the visitors' left flank.
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:49
Edwards makes two changes to the team that started last week's defeat at Fulham. Ross Barkley is still absent due to a hamstring injury, while Andersen and Chong drop to the bench. Ogbene and Doughty come in, with former Wolves wing-back Giles among the substitutes again.
Luton Town vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:45
WOLVES SUBS: Dan Bentley, Matt Doherty, Boubacar Traore, Fabio Silva, Hugo Bueno, Sasa Kalajdzic, Tommy Doyle, Pablo Sarabia, Toti Gomes.
