Happy November everybody! The first game in the Championship today takes place at Molineux as Wolves, with their eye on going top of the table, welcome nearby Birmingham. Let's get straight to the team news...

WOLVES XI: Ikeme; Doherty, Batth, Ebanks-Landell, Rowe; McDonald, Evans, Henry, Clarke, Jacobs; McAlinden
Subs: Flatt, Edwards, Stearman, Saville, Sako, Sagbo, Van La Parra

And in a graphic form, if you like that sort of thing:

KICKOFF! Wolves get us underway at a bright Molineux.

Wolves have seen most of the ball early on and Jacobs almost worked an opportunity to get off a shot but was well tackled by Caddis in the area.

Looking at the two subs' benches, you'd have to say that Wolves have the stronger options that can come on. Top scorer Sako is sure to come on if Wolves don't break through soon and they also have Hull City loanee Yannick Sagbo available.

Wes Thomas is probably Birmingham's best attacking option, but I reckon Rowett will only bring him on and change formation if his side fall behind.

I've probably been most impressed with young Birmingham winger Arthur so far. He's looked bright on the ball and has caused Wolves the odd problem going forward. Blues debutant Morrison has also had a solid debut at the back.

Missing Wolves striker Nouha Dicko has been speaking to Sky Sports News during the interval and he reveals that his hamstring injury isn't too bad, but will probably see him miss Tuesday night's trip to Ipswich Town.

KICKOFF! Birmingham get the second half underway. No changes from either manager at the interval.

Half-hearted appeals for a penalty by the Birmingham players as Shinnie goes down in the area. It was a fair tackle by Ebanks-Landell and Taylor rightly waved away the appeals.

Wolves have started the second half just like they did the first - with plenty of the ball. It's all very controlled, but they're struggling to penetrate in the final third.

In all honesty, it's been a second half of poor quality from both sides. Wolves are neat enough on the ball, but seem to have no idea what to do when they approach the Birmingham area. As for the visitors, they struggle to keep the ball for more than three or four passes when they gain possession.

CLOSE! Wolves have space in the final third for the first time. Henry's initial cross is blocked by the arm of Grounds, but Taylor and his linesman decide against giving a penalty. You could easily see that being given. Henry picks up the loose ball and his cross-cum-shot is palmed away from danger by Randolph.

WOLVES SUBS: Jackett makes a double-change, taking off Jacobs and McAlinden for Sako and Edwards.

Excellent goalkeeping by Randolph as he clutches Doherty's low cross to his belly. Clarke was right there and waiting to pounce on any kind of mistake by the Blues' keeper.

SAVE! Superb stop by Ikeme to deny Grounds a goal from a corner. The ball dropped Robinson's way and you're expecting him to poke home, but a Wolves boot arrives just in time to clear the danger.

BIRMINGHAM SUB: Arthur, who was bright in the first half, has quietened down and is now taken off for Brek Shea.

That change was made just after Wolves won a free kick on the right wing. Sako's delivery into the middle is cleared only as far as McDonald, whose low drive is well-hit but always curling wide.

BIRMINGHAM SUB: Another change by the Blues as Shinnie is replaced by Callum Reilly.

SAVE! Brilliant reactions by Randolph as he manages to tip over Edwards's header from close range after spilling Sako's fierce cross from the left straight to the other Wolves substitute.

With about a quarter of the game to go at Molineux, Wolves do look the more likely side to break the deadlock. Birmingham's best hopes of causing a shock will probably come from a set piece.

Henry's near-post cross is flicked goalwards by Clarke, but he can't keep his header down under pressure from Morrison.

OFF THE BAR! Edwards with an inventive chip that flicks off the top of the crossbar. It was neat hold-up play from Clarke before he fed the substitute, whose cheeky effort might have gone in had he directed it more towards the far post.

This afternoon's attendance at Molineux is 25,135 - the biggest gate of the season.

CLOSE! Sako's wizardry on the wing is evident as he breezes by Caddis before firing a cross-shot that flies just wide of the far post and Clarke's attempt to nudge it home at the back stick.

BOOKING! Clarke has been shown a yellow card, but I'm quite sure what for. I'm guessing he said something out of turn to referee Taylor.

BIRMINGHAM SUB: Rowett changes his striker, replacing Donaldson with Thomas.

WOLVES SUB: Moments after Davis dreadfully skies a half-chance for Birmingham, Wolves make their final change, also in attack, with Yannick Sagbo on for Clarke.

Wolves have plenty forward as Sagbo lays it off for McDonald, who should probably look for a teammate but instead shoots over the top.

Henry with an inviting cross into the box that is met at the same time by Edwards and Morrison. Birmingham get the goal kick and the benefit of the doubt, much to Edwards's bemusement.

A free kick in a great area for Birmingham is struck goalwards by Cotterill. It's way too close to Ikeme, though, and the Wolves keeper makes a comfortable save.

BOOKING! A striker's challenge by Thomas and that earns him a yellow card. A bit harsh, but it was a nasty slide.

Into the last five minutes of normal time then. Birmingham have silenced Wolves a little in the last five minutes or so and it's really hard to pick a winner. To be honest, a 0-0 draw would be about right. So much for my 3-2 prediction!

CHANCE! That's as close as Wolves have come. Henry, who is my man of the match, almost nets the winner by firing towards the far corner. Randolph sticks out a leg to keep it out, but he can only divert it as far as Sako at the back post. It's a high bouncing ball and a tough chance that the hosts' top scorer can only blaze over.

THREE minutes are added on at Molineux. Can Birmingham hang on for an impressive point?

We're into the final minute now but we could play another couple because of an injury just suffered by Henry.

BOOKING! Wolves go close again as Sako's shot is blocked. Taylor retrospectively books Caddis for an earlier pull on the Wolves winger.

That could be a huge result for Birmingham. After being on the end of an 8-0 thrashing last week, the Blues end a run of three straight defeats by holding Wolves at Molineux.

Wolves will be disappointed to have not beaten lowly opposition, but a point is enough to put Jackett's side clear at the top of the table.

Come 7pm after Bournemouth's evening kickoff with Brighton & Hove Albion, Wolves could be down in fifth place if Derby, Watford, Bournemouth and Middlesbrough all win today.

A point is enough for Birmingham to rise one place to 22nd. They'll definitely stay there, too, as Bolton played and were beaten last night by Norwich. As things stand, the Blues are just one point from safety.
