Premier League LIVE: Wolves 1-2 Liverpool after Palmer hits four for Chelsea & Arsenal win – text, score, radio

Wolves have lost more Premier League games against Liverpool than they have vs any other opponent (16). They’ve lost 14 of their last 15 against the Reds in the league, with the exception being a 3-0 home win in February 2023.

Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in 65% of their Premier League games against Wolves (13/20), the second-highest rate of any side to have faced another 20+ times in the competition, after Chelsea against Middlesbrough (67% – 20/30).

Wolves remain without a league win so far this season (D1 L4) – only in 2003-04 (first seven) and 2019-20 (first six) have they gone longer without victory from the start of a Premier League campaign.

Liverpool have won five of their last six Premier League games (L1), keeping a clean sheet in each victory. The Reds had conceded in each of their previous 10 games before this run (16 goals conceded in total).

No current Premier League side is on a longer run without a clean sheet than Wolves, who have conceded in each of their last 17 top-flight matches (same as Southampton). It’s Wolves’ longest run without a shutout in the competition since a run of 30 in 2011-12.

Wolves have lost their last two Premier League games despite having led at half-time in each (1-2 v Newcastle, 1-3 v Aston Villa). No team in Premier League history has lost three consecutive matches having been ahead at the break each time.

Liverpool have conceded the fewest goals of any Premier League side so far this season (1), while no team has shipped more than Wolves (14). Indeed, Wolves’ 14 goals conceded is their most after five games of any league season since 1985-86 (14 in third tier), and most in the top-flight since 1970-71 (14).

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s assist against Bournemouth last time out was his 59th in the Premier League, moving him one ahead of Steve McManaman as the outright third most for Liverpool in the competition. It also moved him level with teammate Andrew Robertson for most assists by a defender in the competition’s history.

Since the start of last season, Matheus Cunha has been involved in more Premier League goals for Wolves than any other player (21 – 14 goals, 7 assists). Eight of his last 13 goals for the club have either put them ahead (2) or drawn them level (6) in the match.

Liverpool’s Luis Díaz has been involved in six goals in his last four Premier League appearances, scoring five and assisting one. He’s scored a brace in two of his last three for the Reds, having netted multiple goals in just one of his first 69 Premier League games.
