A poor strike from Robinson and there's no further damage for Warriors.

Gray comes on for Goode.

Danny Gray getting ready to come on, Goode struggling. Shame Goode had a great first-half.

9:08pm

.....and another penalty to Wasps. Pretty terrible start to the second period, this.

9:07pm

Penalty at scrum-time against, I think, Euan Murray and Robinson fires the ball to touch.

9:06pm

With Andy Goode carrying a knock, Chris Pennell takes the re-start and fires it out on the full. Scrum Wasps on half-way. Shaky start from the hosts...

8:45pm

Just over a minute left in the half and Wasps have a line-out on the Warriors 10m line.

8:41pm

Goodey is on it tonight and he finds a great kick that trickles into touch near the corner-flag from a Warriors scrum on half-way.

8:35pm

Warriors look to maul the ball towards the line, but Wasps do well to hold it up and win the put-in.

8:28pm

Nothing going for Wasps at the moment as Elliot Daly looks to release Tom Varndell, but his pass drifts forward.

8:23pm

Percival burrows close, but Wasps scramble back well and manage to turn the ball over. Good intent from the hosts.

8:22pm

8:07pm

Dean Schofield penalised for playing the ball on the floor, chance for Wasps to level the score.

8:04pm

Good start from Warriors, taking play through the phases, before Wasps are penalised and Goode will have the first shot at goal of the night.

8:02pm

Warriors win the game's first penalty and Andy Goode finds a decent touch 30m out.

7:54pm

Late change for Wasps: Chris Bell is injured in the warm-up, so former Worcester player Charlie Hayter starts at inside-centre. Jack Wallace comes in on the bench.

Hayter will have a big point to prove tonight againt the club that released him in the summer...

7:50pm

7:49pm

7:40pm

Right, time to head to the press bench.....Come on you Warriors!

7:35pm

The general consensus seems to be that Warriors are going to win tonight. However, you don't get to fifth in the Premiership without being a decent side, so I hope the home fans' confidence isn't mis-placed.

7:32pm

A good start...

7:29pm

Out of interest, who is following tonight's live blog from the furthest away from Sixways? Let me know where you are Warriors fans!

We've got 45 minutes until kick-off, so here's a few articles for you to have a read of.

My column from today's paper on what might have been for Warriors.

Warriors could benefit from London Welsh's administrative gaffe.

7:16pm

Tonight's game is a huge for Worcester's season and, looking at the two line-ups, is certainly a winnable one for the hosts.

Althought Wasps are flying high in fifth place, they are without the likes of James Haskell, Joe Launchbury and try-machine Christian Wade.
