Wolves Host Brentford in Bid for First Premier League Win

Defensive progress for Wolves meets Brentford's travel woes in a pre-Christmas test.

Overview

  • Wolves enter the Molineux fixture with two points from 16 league games, a nine-match losing run, and confirmation they will be bottom at Christmas.
  • Wolves showed signs of tightening at Arsenal by conceding only two shots on target, a joint-season low, after being overrun 4-1 by Manchester United at home earlier this month.
  • Brentford’s away form remains poor with three points from eight league trips, consisting of one win and seven defeats.
  • The Bees have let a league-high 13 points slip from winning positions, most recently drawing with Leeds after Jordan Henderson’s goal was cancelled out late.
  • Brentford have scored once in their past three league matches, with fitness doubts over Jordan Henderson and Igor Thiago following knocks that kept both out of a midweek Carabao Cup loss to Manchester City.
