Comments:

League position: 13th Brighton and Hove Albion remained without a win in 11 consecutive games in the top division for the first time. Albion had now scored one or no goals in 12 of their 16 games in the Premier League in 2021-22 (two in each of the other four). The Seagulls remained without a home win in the Premier League since the visit of Leicester City on 19 September 2021; longer than any other team currently in the division.

Comments:

League position: 8th Wolverhampton Wanderers avoided equalling a club record of failing to score in five consecutive games in the top division; mostly recently in September 2003. Wolves had not now conceded a goal in the first-half of their last ten games in the Premier League. They had now kept a clean sheet in five of their nine away games so far in this Premier League season. Rayan Aït-Nouri was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Marçal was promoted to the starting XI.
