Comments:
League position: 9th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now failed to score in four of their last seven home games in the Premier League. Had they avoided defeat, Wolves would have become the first newly-promoted team to take at least 30 points from their first 21 games in a Premier League season since Birmingham City in 2009-10. This was the first time they had lost their opening league game of a year since 2013 when they lost 3-1 at Crystal Palace in the League Championship on New Year's Day.2 Crystal Palace
