Wolves vs Chelsea

Noni Madueke scored his first senior hat-trick with all three goals assisted by Cole Palmer – it is just the fifth time a player has assisted a teammate three or more times in the same Premier League game, after Mike Newell for Alan Shearer and Stan Collymore for Robbie Fowler in 1995, Freddie Ljungberg for Thierry Henry in 2003 and Harry Kane for Son Heung-min in 2020 (4).

Enzo Maresca became the first manager in Premier League history to see his team score six goals in his first away game in the competition. Chelsea scored six goals in an away league game for the first time since April 2022 against Southampton (6-0).

Wolves conceded 6+ goals in a single game at Molineux Stadium for the first time since March 2007 against Southampton in the Championship (0-6 defeat).

Wolves have won their last three Premier League games against Chelsea, as many as they had in their previous 17 (D4 L10). Only once before have they won more consecutive league games against the Blues, a run of five between November 1938 and September 1947.

Chelsea are winless in four away league games against Wolves (D1 L3), since a 5-2 victory in September 2019 under Frank Lampard.

Wolves have lost six of their nine Premier League home games so far in 2024 (W3), with no side losing more. They’d only lost four of their 20 league games at Molineux in the whole of 2023.

Chelsea have conceded at least once in each of their last 16 Premier League away games, their longest run without a clean sheet on the road since a run of 24 between January 1993 and February 1994.

Wolves have lost their last four Premier League matches. They haven’t lost more consecutively since a six-game run between May and August 2021 (three with Nuno Espírito Santo, three with Bruno Lage), while the last Wolves manager to lose five in a row was Terry Connor in March and April 2012 (seven).
