Unbeaten Wolves host a Burnley side that have made a bright start to the season. Opta tries to prise them apart.

"Coming into the weekend's matches only Sadio Mané (15) and Sergio Agüero (14) have scored more Premier League goals in 2019 than Burnley's Ashley Barnes (12). Barnes has netted 40% of the Clarets' league goals this calendar year so far (12/30)."

Barnes is 4.3100/30 to add to his tally.

Wolves have won their last four top-flight home games against Burnley - they haven't won five in a row since a run of seven ending in April 1900. They are 1.8910/11 to claim victory.
