Match Facts

  • Wolves are unbeaten in their last seven home league games against Sunderland (W3 D4). This is the first time they’ve hosted them since a 0-0 draw in the Championship in December 2017, and first time in the Premier League since December 2011 (2-1).

  • Sunderland have won their last two league games against Wolves. They’re looking to complete the double over them for the first time since 1949-50, while they last won three in a row against them in March 1937.

  • Sunderland have kept a clean sheet in their last four league games against Wolves, a run stretching back to April 2012. They last had a longer run without conceding against an opponent vs Bradford City between 1989 and 1999 (7 games).

  • Wolves have lost all four of their Premier League games against promoted sides this season – only four teams have ever lost five in a single campaign: Ipswich Town (1994-95), Sunderland (2002-03), Leicester City and Southampton (both 2022-23).

  • Wolves have failed to score in a league-high 18 different Premier League games this season. The last team to fail in more were Norwich City in 2021-22 (22), while it’s Wolves’ third most in a top-flight campaign after 1983-84 (22) and 1981-82 (20).

  • Wolves have won just one of their last 18 Premier League games in the month of May (D4 L13), and are winless in 10 since a 1-0 victory against Aston Villa in 2023 (D2 L8).

  • Sunderland have lost their last two Premier League games, going down 4-3 at Aston Villa and 5-0 at home to Nottingham Forest. Only once in their league history have they shipped 4+ goals in three consecutive matches (September/October 1928), while they hadn’t conceded more than three times in any of their first 32 games this term.

  • Sunderland have conceded from just 9.2% of their shots faced in the Premier League this season (45 goals conceded from 491 shots), the third best rate in the competition. However, opponents Wolves have the lowest shot conversion rate of any side this term (7.6%).

  • Wolves’ 23 defeats this season are already their joint-most in any 38-game league campaign, level with 1905-06 and 2011-12. In their top-flight history, they’ve only lost more in 1964-65 and 1983-84 (25 on both occasions).

  • No player has played more Premier League games without completing 90 minutes in any of them this season than Sunderland’s Wilson Isidor (29). He’s been subbed off in all 11 of his starts, and come off the bench 18 times.
