• Since losing to Brighton on the opening weekend last season, Erik ten Hag’s side are now unbeaten in their last 18 Premier League home games (W15 D3), conceding just eight goals in this run. They’ve won their last six in a row at Old Trafford, last having a longer streak between May-November 2017 (8).
• Wolves are winless in their last eight Premier League away games (D2 L6), losing the last four in a row by an aggregate score of 15-1. It’s their longest losing run on the road since their return to the top-flight, last losing more consecutively in the competition between September-December 2011 (6).
