Follow all the action live as Wolves face Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-finals in Duisburg tonight.

The tournament is being played out in a sudden-death format due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with tonight’s winner set to face Manchester United in the semi-finals on Sunday.

Wolves’ Premier League season ended in disappointing fashion, with the club sliding into a seventh-place finish on the final day. However, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side responded by defeating Olympiacos at Molineux last week to reach this stage of the competition. Sevilla, who finished fourth in La Liga, beat Roma to reach the last eight. Follow all the action live below:

11 min: Penalty to Wolves! Traore sets off on a powerful, surging run into the box and goes down under a sliding challenge from Carlos. Wolves have a big chance to take the lead.

10 min: Sevilla have started to take control of the ball, enjoying the lion's share of possession. Wolves are well set off the ball as ever, though, and have already looked dangerous when they break.

9 min: The game resumes and Boly is, it seems, fine to continue.

7 min: Boly has gone to ground and needs some treatment from the physios. A few players take the chance to have an early drink, which is an indication of how hot it is.

6 min: A chance for Wolves to break as the ball is quickly played up to Traore. He charges forward and tries to pick out Jimenez, who can't quite control the pass. Those two could cause real problems on the counter attack.

4 min: Moutinho curls a free kick into the box and Dendoncker meets it, looping his effort on the volley over the head of the goalkeeper and onto the roof of the net.

2 min: Sevilla have a promising moment of their own at the other end, though En-Nesyri is a long way offside when he drills a low shot into the side netting.

2020-08-11T19:02:58.816Z

1 min: A very early opportunity for Wolves as Traore finds space on the right and crosses for Jimenez. That combination has proved so effective this season, but this time the Mexican's header is too close to Bono.

KICK OFF

Wolves, in their famous gold and black kit, get us underway!

The players make their way out on another sultry night in Germany. Let's hope the heat doesn't have an adverse impact on the game.

Sevilla are also on an 18-game unbeaten run, stretching all the way back to February. Can Wolves bring it to an end? We're about to find out.

2020-08-11T18:48:05.950Z

Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui​: "They [Wolves] are at a very, very high level. They have obtained very good results against teams high up in the Premier League. We know the kind of rival we are going to play. They are our reality. They'll force us to play a great game if we want to beat them. Every game has different nuances, and we need to focus on ourselves and take our work to the limit. We'll try to do that while respecting our rival, who are really powerful. They have proven to be powerful. It's a very solid team."

Wolves will be looking to this man to make the difference tonight. Plenty has been said about Traore throughout the season, but he is truly unplayable when on form. He appears to be starting in a front two alongside Jimenez tonight, so that will give Sevilla's back four plenty to think about.

2020-08-11T18:35:02.410Z

Lucas Ocampos is the danger man for Sevilla. The Argentine has 15 goals to his name in all competitions, leading the way in a team based on sound defensive principles. At the back, Brazilian Diego Carlos has been excellent, while Sergio Reguilon is a real threat going forward from left-back.

The Champions League quarter-finals begin in Portugal tomorrow night. Here's Miguel Delaney on what the change of format might mean:

This is the first time Wolves and Sevilla have met in a competitive game, which is an indication of how far the English club have come in a relatively short period of time. Six years ago, Wolves were in League One, fighting to get out of the third tier while Sevilla were on their way to a third Europa League title.

2020-08-11T18:20:38.276Z

Wolves boss Nuno Espírito Santo, speaking to BT Sport: "The game is going to be very tough. We have to find solutions in order to hurt Sevilla and control them. We arrived in Germany two days before the match to get used to this temperature, to get used to the pitch and to have the opportunity to stay in the hotel and do a bit of recovering. It's still very hot and humid; it's going to be tough for both teams."

2020-08-11T18:14:05.583Z

Sevilla are in formidable form defensively heading into this one. They've conceded just one goal in their last seven games in all competitions, and that kind of resolve could serve them well in this mini-tournament. Wolves, though, are an efficient defensive unit, too, so it won't be a surprise if tonight's game is a close one.

Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine play Basel of Switzerland in tonight's other game. The winners of that will meet Inter in the last four, while Manchester United await whoever comes out on top at the MSV-Arena. We could have an all-English semi-final to look forward to on Sunday.

2020-08-11T18:03:05.740Z

Wolves, for all their progress under Nuno Espírito Santo over the last couple of years, are certainly underdogs tonight. They meet a Sevilla side that ended their domestic campaign in excellent form, just missing out on a third-place finish in La Liga. Julen Lopetegui has got his side ticking, and it must be remembered that Los Palanganas are five-time winners of the Europa League. Their dominance over the last decade or so has been comparable to Real Madrid in the Champions League, so this is a tough ask for Wolves. In a one-off tie in Duisburg, though, the Premier League team might fancy their chances.
