Comments:

League position: 8th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now drawn two of their 19 games in the Premier League in 2022 (won eight, lost nine). 77 goals had now been scored in their 37 games in the Premier League so far in 2021-22 (for 37, against 40): fewer than any other team in the division in this season. Conor Coady became the first player to make 150 appearances for Wolves in the Premier League. Wolverhampton Wanderers named eight of a possible nine substitutes.

Comments:

League position: 20th Norwich City had now taken 22 points from their 37 games so far in this Premier League season, so exceeding the club record lowest-ever points total in a season (21 in 2019-20 in the Premier League). The Canaries had now led at half-time in five of their games so far in this Premier League season: the fewest in division in 2021-22 along with Watford. Teemu Pukki became the first player to score more than ten goals for City in four consecutive seasons since Iwan Roberts from 1998 to 2002 and in his first four seasons at the club since Jack Vinall from 1933 to 1937.
