Pick of the stats: Burnley v Wolves
[BBC] Burnley have escaped the relegation zone and will intend to stay out as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday night (20:00 BST). An unbeaten run of three games (D2 W1) has lifted the Clarets out of the bottom three on goal difference. Though Wolves have seen themselves pushed out of the play-off places after a disappointing 3-1 loss to Bolton Wanderers in the midweek and have two points to make up to get back in. Burnley have lost just one of their last 11 league games against Wolves (W5 D5), going down 1-0 in December 2023. Wolves are without a win in eight league visits to Burnley (D4 L4) since a 2-1 Premier League win in 2009-10. Burnley have now failed to win any of their last 20 home league games since a 2-0 win over Leeds in October last year (D10 L10); it's the current longest streak across England's top four tiers, though the Clarets have lost just two of their last 64 matches at Turf Moor in the Championship specifically. Wolves have lost each of their last two league games, and will be looking to avoid losing three in succession in the Championship for the first time since a five-match streak between February and March 2017. This season in the Championship, Burnley have conceded seven set pieces goals (incl. penalties) – the joint-most of any side in the competition. It's also already one more than they conceded throughout their entire last Championship campaign in 2024-25. [BBC]
