Did you know?

Wolves have won their last four top-flight home matches against Burnley – they have not won five in a row since a run of seven ending in April 1900.

Burnley have lost just one of their last six league encounters with Wolves (W3 D2 L1), winning 2-0 in their most recent meeting back in March at Turf Moor.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League matches at Molineux, winning six and drawing three. They last had a longer unbeaten home run in the top flight with a sequence of 10 between April and October 1979.

Coming into Matchweek 3 only Sadio Mane, with 15, and Sergio Aguero, with 14, have scored more Premier League goals in 2019 than Burnley’s Ashley Barnes. Barnes's 12 strikes accounts for 40 per cent of the Clarets' league goals this calendar year so far.
