On Tuesday night, Wolves will host Burnley at Molineux, hoping to secure three crucial points in the Premier League against the struggling team.

Key stats

- Wolves have scored in every home game and claimed eight points from their last four despite facing four of the top six
- Wolves have scored at least once in 13 straight home games
- Burnley have kept one clean sheet against the 10 men of Sheffield United
- Burnley have conceded 2.28 goals per game on average

Match preview

Wolves may be in poor form having won just one of five, but three of those games were away from home and they've faced a tough fixture list.

Gary O'Neil's side have also had the misfortune of facing Brighton, Liverpool, Man City, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Tottenham in consecutive home games.

Visitors Burnley have lost six of seven but beat Sheffield United 5-0 on the weekend. Before that, the Clarets beat Luton 2-1 in October.

Jordan Beyer was a standout performer in both of those wins but will miss this game due to suspension, as will dangerman Lyle Foster through injury.

It might look like a good opportunity for Burnley to start building on paper, but Wolves are going to be the more desperate of the two teams.

Wins tend to ease tension whereas Wolves will want to make the most of back-to-back home games this week after feeling hard done by in recent away trips.

If O'Neil's side can replicate the quality displayed in any of their previous five home games, they will have an advantage in front of goal against Vincent Kompany's team.
