Stats to wow your friends

Newcastle have won four of their last six Premier League games against Wolves (67%), having won just two of their first 13 against them in the competition (15%).
Wolves have lost each of their last three Premier League away games against Newcastle and have never kept a clean sheet in nine visits to St James’ Park in the competition.
Following their 2-1 win at Molineux in September, Newcastle are looking to complete their first league double over Wolves since 1905-06.
Newcastle vs. Wolves has ended as a draw 11 of the 19 occasions it’s been played in the Premier League, the highest ratio of any fixture to be played at least 15 times in the competition (58%).
Newcastle have won each of their last five Premier League games, as many as their opening 15 league matches of the campaign (W5 D5 L5). The Magpies last won six successive matches in the competition in December 2022.
Wolves have won just two of their last 16 away games in the Premier League (D5 L9), with both of those coming by a three-goal margin (4-1 v Fulham in November, 3-0 v Leicester in December).
Coming into this round of matches, Wolves’ Premier League games have seen more goals than any other side this term (76 – F31 A45). All 20 of their games this season have seen at least two goals scored – only three clubs have had a longer such run from the start of a Premier League campaign (Arsenal 25 in 2001-02, Man City 23 in 2019-20 and Bolton 22 in 2011-12).
Jacob Murphy has provided five assists for Alexander Isak in the Premier League this season, the most one player has for another so far this term. The only Newcastle players to assist a teammate more in a single campaign in the division are Salomón Rondón for Ayoze Pérez (6 in 2018-19), Laurent Robert for Alan Shearer (6 in 2001-02) and Nolberto Solano for Alan Shearer (6 in 1999-00).
Having scored in his last seven Premier League matches, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak is looking to become the fourth different player to net in 8+ successive appearances in the competition, after Jamie Vardy (twice for Leicester), Ruud van Nistelrooy (twice for Manchester United), and Daniel Sturridge (for Liverpool).
Among forwards, only Antoine Semenyo (177) and Jérémy Doku (174) have made more progressive ball carries than Wolves’ Matheus Cunha (164) in the Premier League this season, with the Brazilian’s total progressive carry distance of 2,174m the most of any forward in the division this term.
