Wolves have won each of their last five Premier League games against Southampton, their longest winning run against any opponent in the competition.
Having kept a clean sheet in their first ever Premier League meeting with Wolves in September 2003 (2-0), Southampton have now conceded in each of their last 11 against them in the competition.
The away side has won just two of the last 27 Premier League meetings between sides starting the day in the bottom two places in the league table (D8 L17), though one of those was the most recent such match between Sheffield United (20th) and Burnley (19th) in April (4-1 to Burnley).
Wolves remain winless in their 10 Premier League games so far this season (D3 L7) – only in 1983-84 have they ever had a longer run without a win from the start of a league campaign (14), going on to finish bottom of the top-flight that season.
Southampton’s 1-0 victory over Everton last time out ended a run of 22 Premier League games without a win, and a run of 21 without a clean sheet in the competition. They last won consecutive top-flight games in February 2022, the first of which came against Everton.
Wolves have conceded a league-high 27 Premier League goals this season, their most after 10 league games since 1985-86 (30), and most in the top-flight since 1964-65 (27). It’s the sixth time a team has conceded 27+ after 10 Premier League games, most recently Sheffield United last season (29).
Wolves have conceded at least twice in nine of their 10 Premier League games this season, including each of the last seven in a row. It’s their longest run of conceding multiple goals in consecutive league games since a run of nine between February and April 2012.
Southampton have scored just seven goals in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other side. Indeed, Saints have scored more goals in their three EFL Cup matches this term (9) than they have in their 10 league games.
Only Brentford (74) have faced more shots on target than Wolves in the Premier League this season (67). Only in 2011-12 (7) have they averaged more shots on target faced per game in a single campaign in the competition than their 6.7 so far this term.
Each of Wolves’ last four Premier League goals have been scored in the second half of games, with eight of their first 10 this season coming in the first half. Meanwhile, six of Southampton’s last seven goals conceded in the competition have come after half-time.
