Find out how Nottingham Forest inflicted a third straight defeat on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

Promotion hopefuls Wolverhampton Wanderers and Nottingham Forest met in this afternoon's Championship match at Molineux.

Neither has been in great form of late, but it was Forest who impressed in the second half, coming out on top 3-0 to inflict a third straight defeat on Wolves.

Read how it all unfolded in the Black Country with our minute-by-minute updates below.

Afternoon all. Our feature 3pm kickoff in the Championship sees two of the biggest teams in the league, Wolves and Forest, do battle at Molineux. No time to waste, let's get to the teams...
WOLVES XI: Ikeme; Doherty, Batth, Ebanks-Landell, Ricketts; McDonald, Rowe; Henry, Edwards, Sako; Graham
Subs: Kuszczak, Stearman, Saville, Evans, Van La Parra, McAlinden, Keita
FOREST XI: Darlow; Lichaj, Mancienne, Lascelles, Fox; Burke, Osborn, Lansbury, Antonio; Fryatt, Assombalonga
Subs: De Vries, Wilson, Hunt, Ince, Paterson, Blackstock, Tesche
Kenny Jackett makes three changes to his Wolves team from the 5-0 drubbing at Derby County two weeks ago. New loan signing Danny Graham leads the line up front in place of Leon Clarke, while in midfield Tommy Rowe and Dave Edwards replace George Saville and Lee Evans.
Can Graham make an instant impact with his new club. He's had a torrid past couple of seasons and really needs to find his goalscoring touch again soon.

Stuart Pearce, meanwhile, makes four changes to his Forest side for the trip to the Black Country. Both full-backs are different, with Eric Lichaj on the right and Danny Fox on the left. Chris Burke replaces Thomas Ince on the wing, while Henri Lansbury is preferred to Robert Tesche in the middle.
REFEREE WATCH! The man with the whistle in the middle is Paul Tierney.
The two most important players today are probably wingers Bakary Sako and Michail Antonio. Sako is Wolves' top scorer this season, but he hasn't scored in the last three after netting in four successive games. As for Antonio, he's been excellent since a summer switch from Sheffield Wednesday and in Forest's last game scored an injury-time winner against Norwich City to end Forest's 11-game winless run.
While Forest picked up a much-needed win against the Canaries two weeks ago, Wolves have lost two in a row and played poorly in both against two of their promotion rivals. They were outplayed in a 2-1 defeat at Ipswich Town before being trounced 5-0 at Derby to drop out of the top six.
PREDICTION TIME! I expect it to be a high-scoring affair this afternoon and think Wolves might just edge it 3-2. See what else I had to say about the game in the Sports Mole Sofa video below.

It's a lovely, crisp day in the West Midlands


GOAL! WOLVES 0-1 FOREST (ASSOMBALONGA)
A couple of minutes after McDonald shot over for Wolves, Forest take a deserved lead and it's goal number 11 for the season for Assombalonga. He's now all on his own at the top of the scoring charts after tapping home a lovely team move by the visitors. Fryatt, Fox and Antonio all involved. Great stuff.
GOAL! WOLVES 0-2 FOREST (FRYATT)
Two goals in three minutes for the visitors as Fryatt rises highest to meet a corner from Lansbury and head home.
They're certainly enjoying themselves now at Molineux.

Click here to see how the table looks right now. Forest are set to climb up to seventh and they'll be just a couple of points off the playoffs.
I said earlier that Assombalonga was on his own as top goalscorer, but that's no longer the case as Daryl Murphy equalises for Ipswich at Bournemouth. The two now both have 11 for the season.
WOLVES SUB: Jackett makes his third and final change, bringing on winger Rajiv van la Parra for Edwards.
CHANCE! Oh and what a chance for Van La Parra just after coming on! He arrives at the back post to meet a free kick but gets his header all wrong with just Darlow to beat.
CHANCES! Oh Wolves, Wolves, Wolves! The hosts should have one back as they have three chances in quick succession, but none of them find the target. The first was the best one, but it was superbly blocked by Mancienne.
BOOKING! Stearman goes into Tierney's book. Now 2-3 on the yellow-card count.
GOAL! WOLVES 0-3 FOREST (LANSBURY))
Game, set and match as Lansbury, who has been impressive on his 10th league start of the season. He arrived on the edge of the box to powerfully sidefoot home Antonio's low cross.
FOREST SUB: The man who opened the scoring, Assombalonga, is taken off for Robert Tesche.
FOREST SUB: Another change from the visitors and another up front as Dexter Blackstock replaces Fryatt.
FOREST SUB: You could call it clever I guess, but it's quite annoying from Pearce as he makes three changes in quick succession but all at separate times. It's not like he really needs to time-waste, he's three goals up. Jamie Paterson on for Antonio.
CLOSE! Almost a fourth for Forest as Lansbury fires a great effort towards the corner that Ikeme beats out. The rebound is straight to Paterson, but he can only spoon it over the top.
Four minutes added on at the end of the second half.
Forest continue to come forward and have another chance as a quick free kick sees Paterson cut inside and have a low shot blocked.
FULL-TIME: WOLVES 0-3 FOREST
It's two wins in a row for Forest as they inflict a third straight defeat on Wolves.
If you look at those three Wolves defeats, they've lost 10-1 in those three games.
Click here to see how the table looks tonight. Forest up to eighth and two points off the playoffs. Wolves a point further back in 11th. The top half is so tight!
