Comments:

League position: 12th Wolverhampton Wanderers failed in their attempt to keep clean sheets in three consecutive away games in the top division for the first time since 1960 in League Division One. Wolves had now won eight and drawn two of the ten games when they had opened the scoring so far in this Premier League season. With each playing in their 109th game in the division, Rui Patrício and Conor Coady became the joint-club record holders for the most appearances in the Premier League; previously Matt Jarvis (108).
