Pick of the stats: Burnley v Wolves

Burnley have defied relegation and host Wolverhampton Wanderers in their Championship match on Friday (20:00 BST). The Clarets have escaped the relegation zone through a three-match unbeaten run (D2 W1), which has vaulted them out of the bottom three on goal difference. Wolves, however, have dropped out of the play-off positions following a 3-1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers midweek. They now need two points to reclaim their place.

Burnley has only lost once in their past 11 league meetings with Wolves (W5 D5), with a 1-0 loss in December 2023. Wolves have been unable to secure a win in their last eight visits to Burnley (D4 L4) since a 2-1 Premier League victory in the 2009-10 season. Burnley's current drought at Turf Moor since October last year (D10 L10) represents the longest such stretch in England's top four leagues, though it remains the smallest in the Championship.

The Clarets have not won any of their last 20 home league games since a 2-0 triumph over Leeds in October (D10 L10). This 20-match run is the longest such streak in English football's top four tiers, though Burnley have only lost two of their last 64 matches at Turf Moor specifically in the Championship. Wolves, meanwhile, have lost both of their last two league games and will be seeking to avoid a third successive loss in the Championship for the first time since a five-game slump between February and March 2017.

In the Championship this season, Burnley have conceded seven goals from set pieces (including penalties), which is the joint-most of any team in the competition. This tally is one more than their total conceded throughout the entire 2024-25 Championship campaign.
