Wolves vs Manchester City: Pre-Match Facts
- Wolves won this exact fixture 2-1 last season but haven’t won consecutive home league meetings with Manchester City since a run of three between 1982 and 1996.
- Manchester City have won seven of their last eight Premier League meetings with Wolves, scoring 25 goals across these games. The only exception was a 2-1 loss at Molineux in September last season.
- Wolves have failed to win any of their opening seven games of a league season for the first time since 2004-05 in the Championship. Only in three previous campaigns have they had a longer winless run from the start of a league season: 1922-23 (8), 1926-27 (10), and 1983-84 (14).
- Manchester City are unbeaten in 30 Premier League games (W24 D6), the joint-longest run in their league history (also 30 from April 2017 to January 2018). In English top-flight history, on only six occasions has a side gone more than 30 matches without losing, most recently Liverpool’s run of 44 games from January 2019 to February 2020.
- Wolves are the only side to lose all of their home games in the Premier League this season (3/3). Never before in their league history have they lost their opening four home games of a campaign.
- Manchester City have fallen behind in four of their last six Premier League games, as many as their previous 19 beforehand, although the Citizens have recovered a league-high 10 points from losing positions in the competition this term. Indeed, Pep Guardiola’s side have won nine of the last 11 league games in which they have trailed (D2).
- Only Bournemouth (18) have recorded more shot-ending high turnovers in the Premier League this season than Wolves (16), with four of Wolves’ nine goals in the competition this term coming after a high turnover – a league-high figure.
- Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne has been involved in nine Premier League goals in just four appearances against Wolves at Molineux (5 goals, 4 assists). There are just nine instances (from seven different players) of a player registering 10+ goal involvements away against an opponent in the competition.
- Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has scored eight goals in just four Premier League appearances against Wolves, averaging a goal once every 40 minutes against them. However, just one of these eight strikes has come at Molineux.
- Wolves’ Matheus Cunha has lost each of the last four Premier League games in which he has scored, including all three this season. Only two players in the competition’s history have lost five successive games when scoring: Heidar Helguson from January to April 2000 and Mohamed Diamé from April 2011 to October 2012.
