Wolves went into the international break on the back of a thrilling come-from-behind win over Tottenham Hotspur on November 11 thanks to Pablo Sarabia’s 91st-minute equaliser and Merio Lemina’s winner six minutes later. It was their fourth top flight victory of the season. However, the Wanderers couldn’t build on that success, suffering back-to-back defeats over Fulham and Arsenal. Gary O’Neil’s side twice came from behind to level the score thanks to Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-Chan, but the Cottagers netted a 94th-minute winner through Willian’s second of the night to take all three points at Craven Cottage on November 27. Five days later, Wolves suffered their seventh league defeat of the campaign away to the Gunners courtesy of early goals from Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard, while Cunha capitalised on a defensive laps to reduce the deficit four minutes from time.
Burnley, on the other hand, secured their second top flight victory of the campaign against Sheffield United over the weekend, thanks to five unanswered goals from Jay Rodriguez, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Zeki Amdouni, Luca Koleosho and Josh Brownhill. The result ended their seven-game losing streak across all competitions. Moreover, Burnley have avoided defeat in each of their last seven Premier League meetings with Wolves, whose last success over the Clarets came in September 2018 thanks to Raul Jimenez’s effort.
