Did you know?

Raheem Sterling has scored 99 Premier League goals (18 for Liverpool, 81 for Manchester City). He would be the 32nd player to reach triple figures in the competition, and the eighth-youngest to do so at 27 years and three days on the day of this match.

Among all fixtures to have been played at least 60 times in the history of the English Football League since it was formed in 1888, Man City versus Wolverhampton Wanderers has the highest goals-per-match ratio of 3.83 (437 goals in 114 meetings).

Excluding penalties, Wolves are the only side yet to concede a set-piece goal in the Premier League this season, despite facing 39 shots from such situations. By contrast, last season only Leeds United (15) conceded more set-piece goals (excl. pens) than Wolves' 14.

Bernardo Silva has scored six goals in his last eight Premier League appearances for Man City, one more than in his previous 61 matches in the competition.
