We're underway at Molineux.

Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the FA Cup fifth round clash between Wolves and Chelsea at Molineux.
Chelsea have been dominant in the Premier League this term and leave their league duties with a 10-point lead. Antonio Conte's men have lost just once in their last 18 matches, including their comfortable wins in the last two rounds over Peterborough and Brentford.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Chelsea subs: Kante, Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy, Batshuayi, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Eduardo.
Wolves have made five changes from their defeat to Wigan last time out. Kourtney Hause, Conor Coady, George Saville, Jack Price and Andreas Weimann all come into the side today.
Conte has made seven changes from their draw last week against Burnley. Asmir Begovic, Nathan Ake, John Terry, Kurt Zouma, Nathaniel Chalobah, Cesc Fabregas and Willian all come into the side.
STAT ATTACK! Chelsea have won nine out of their last 10 meetings against Wolves.
The players are making their way out on to the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: WOLVES 0-0 CHELSEA
It's goalless at the break and Wolves will be very happy with their first-half exploits, although it could have been even better had George Saville's strike found the net rather than striking the post. Paul Lambert's men have been excellent thus far against the Premier League leaders.
Chelsea have been below-par, especially in the final third where they have created very little. The Blues have also been shaky at the back at times, with their back three and Asmir Begovic not on the best terms of communication. Antonio Conte will be demanding an improvement after the interval.
The players are back out for the second half. So we should be underway shortly.
Chelsea upped the ante in the second half and were able to see off the threat of Wolves thanks to goals from Pedro and Diego Costa. Antonio Conte's men will now be eyeing the double after securing their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Wolves will wonder what could have been if George Saville's strike in the first half had found the bottom corner rather than the post. They battled well this evening, but were outplayed in the second half and now return to league duties for the remainder of the campaign.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
