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.
