A look at some of the key stats surrounding this weekend's Premier League action, including Chelsea's game with Tottenham and Leicester's trip to Manchester City

Team news

Norwich centre-back Ben Godfrey will be out until February after suffering a knee injury during last weekend's 1-1 draw at Leicester, but will not need an operation.

Finland frontman Pukki, meanwhile, has shaken off a toe problem, which turned out to be nothing more severe than bruising rather than a fracture as was first feared.

Wolves winger Adama Traore is ready to face Norwich - despite dislocating his shoulder against Tottenham last time out.

"It was dislocated," Nuno said at his pre-match press conference. "Fortunately, the medic was able to put it back again. He has the pain that the trauma caused him, but he's improving. He's in the squad."

Willy Boly (ankle), Morgan Gibbs-White (back) and Bruno Jordao (ankle) remain sidelined.

Opta stats

  • The only previous Premier League meetings between Norwich and Wolves came in the 2011-12 campaign, with the Canaries winning 2-1 at home and drawing 2-2 away.
  • Wolves won their last away league game against Norwich, 2-0 in the Championship in October 2017, having lost each of their last four league games at Carrow Road before that.
  • Wolves have only won two of their 17 away Premier League games against teams starting the day in the relegation zone (D4 L11), picking up just four points in their four games of this kind since the start of last season (W1 D1 L2).
  • Norwich are without a clean sheet in their last 12 home Premier League games, their joint-longest such run in the competition (also 12 between October 2004-March 2005). The Canaries have conceded 40 goals in their last 17 top-flight home games, as many as they had in their previous 40 at Carrow Road.
  • Wolves have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League games (W5 D6), though it was in their last match (1-2 against Spurs). They last lost consecutive league games in September.
  • Wolves have both scored and conceded in 13 Premier League games this season - no side has done so in more. Wolves have found the net in their last 16 games, the second longest current run in the competition (Liverpool, 26).
  • Norwich have the biggest negative difference (-37) between shots on target (66) and shots on target faced (103) in the Premier League this season. They're facing 6.1 shots on target per game this season - since 2003-04, the 14 clubs to have faced 6+ shots on target per game in a complete Premier League campaign have all been relegated.
  • Norwich striker Teemu Pukki has scored nine Premier League goals this season - the last player to reach double figures in a season before Christmas for a newly-promoted side was Odion Ighalo in 2015-16 for Watford (12 goals).
  • Raúl Jiménez's assist last time out against Spurs was his 31st goal involvement in the Premier League (19 goals, 12 assists), more than any other Wolves player in the competition. He needs just one more goal to become just the second player to reach 20 for the club in the Premier League (Steven Fletcher, 22).
  • Diogo Jota has scored five goals in his last three appearances for Wolves in all competitions, more than he had in his previous 24 for the club (4).

Charlie's prediction

I do not feel sorry for Norwich. They adopt an attacking way of playing, but they have to go about these games a bit cleverer and get a balance between attack and defence. A team that do not sit in will suit Wolves and they will be all over it - they have quality in abundance. Even at the back, Willy Boly has not been missed as much as they thought. Tottenham got a late victory, but Wolves are a decent side and in the top seven for a reason. They will continue to impress here.
