Did you know?

In their top-flight history, Brighton have played more fixtures against Wolves without ever losing than against any other opponents. They have recorded seven wins and three draws, while keeping eight clean sheets in this run.

Since the start of last season, Neal Maupay has scored 15 Premier League goals, nine more than any other Brighton player, yet only two of his last nine strikes have arrived at home.

Brighton have lost their first league match in just one of the last 11 calendar years (W6 D4), but that defeat was at home against Wolves in the Championship in 2016. 

Wolves have conceded in each of their last nine PL fixtures, matching their longest run without a clean sheet in the competition under Nuno Espirito Santo between December 2019 and January 2020.
