    It's over 21 years since James Milner made his Premier League debut for Leeds, in a 4-3 thriller against West Ham.

    We're not saying that his career spans a generation or two but Nigel Winterburn was playing for the Hammers that day - and he's just turned 60...

    Brighton have completed the most passes in the Premier League this season. But the vast majority are safe and risk free. The players that made the riskier passes have left and not been replaced yet.

    Wolves forward Matheus Cunha goes down in the centre circle as the visitors break away and he wants a foul. Was there an arm thrown by the Brighton man tracking him?

    VAR say there's no case to answer, Gary O'Neil looks confused at his monitor, not for the first time this season.

    James Milner is urged to shoot but turns down the option. The tempo has gone from the game a bit now, Wolves look tough to break down.

    Billy Gilmour has had an impressive start to this game, he is looking to make things happen.

    You can see why his confidence is growing.

    Jose Sa you're lucky! Pascal Gross whips in a great free-kick from the left and the Wolves keeper doesn't know whether to catch or punch and just about tips it over his own bar.

    Shooot! Pascal Gross waits and waits for James Milner to overlap him but the veteran hesitates when he could have pulled the trigger and his cutback is cut out.

    Wolves show him what he should have done seconds later as Pedro Neto flashes in a left-footed belter from 25 yards as soon as he could. Fires it about four feet wide, a lovely effort.

    Well played Danny Welbeck, shutting down Tomy Doyle and taking the ball off him in a dangerous area. Wolves look seriously drilled though and soon turn it back over. Tight game.

    James Milner is playing extremely wide on the left for Brighton so far by the way. Their setup is very fluid but he's drifting out to the touchline.

    Brighton have had 69.6% possession over the opening 15 minutes of this game. They keep the ball so well.

    Nice, real nice from Matheus Cunha to glide past his man in the area and backheel it across goal - but nobody has read his intentions.

    Plenty of ebb and flow to this as Wolves win the ball on halfway and release Pedro Neto, who looks sharp enough to run at the Brighton defence but can't sort out a final pass or get a shot away. A danger sign though.

    Off the line! Brighton so close to taking the lead as a corner is nodded on, flicked back across goal and Tommy Doyle is in the perfect place to hammer clear.

    It was Joao Pedro who had the final effort. Just didn't get enough on his header.

    No it wasn't, actually. It was Facundo Buonanotte.

    My TV commentator has just said that James Milner has gone past Stanley Matthews in terms of top-flight appearances now. And he played until he was 50!

    I wouldn't rule that out for Milner to be honest.

    Good again from Billy Gilmour, linking up with Joao Pedro and overlapping on the left before putting in a cross which Wolves clear well.

    The men in red break well and Matt Doherty wins them a corner at the other end.

    Talking of good passes, Jason Steele in the Brighton goal lasers a peach of a pass 65 yards into the feet of Facundo Buonanotte. The Ederson of County Durham.

    The Seagulls attack well and Joao Pedro has a low shot charged down. The home side have started well.
