Match Facts
This is the first top-flight meeting between Luton and Wolves since the 1983-84 campaign, with the Hatters winning home (4-0) and away (2-1) games against Wolves that season.
Wolves are unbeaten in their last seven league games against Luton (W4 D3), winning the last three in a row. This is their first such meeting since a 3-2 win at Kenilworth Road in March 2007.
Luton Town are just the second team to lose their first four games as a Premier League side, along with Swindon in 1993, who drew 0-0 at Norwich in their fifth game. It’s only the third time the Hatters have started a league season within England’s top four tiers with four defeats, along with 1927-28 and 2002-03, avoiding defeat in the fifth game in both seasons.
Wolves have started a Premier League season with four defeats in their first five games for a third time, also doing so in 2003-04 (D1 L4) and 2021-22 (W1 L4). They have also conceded 11 goals in their first five games in the competition for just a second time, shipping 12 in 2003-04.
Luton are looking to avoid becoming just the sixth team in Premier League history to lose their first five games in a season, after Southampton in 1999-00 (finished 17th), Sunderland in 2005-06 (20th), Portsmouth in 2009-10 (20th), Crystal Palace in 2017-18 (11th), and Norwich City in 2021-22 (20th).
Since a run between December 2021 and February 2022 in which they won four away games in a row, Wolves have picked up only four wins in 29 away Premier League matches (D6 L19), losing six of their last seven on the road.
Luton Town faced 46 shots in their first two Premier League games (average of 23) but have since faced 22 in their last two (average of 11). They also faced an xG of 6.28 in their opening two matches, compared to 1.99 in their last two, while they’ve allowed exactly half the number of touches in their box on average in their last two (23) compared to their first two games (46).
None of Gary O’Neil’s last 21 Premier League games as a manager has ended as a draw across spells with Bournemouth and Wolves (W8 L13). After a run of seven wins in the first 12 games of this run, he has since lost eight of his last nine, winning the other 1-0 vs Everton in August.
Having lost his first four Premier League games as a manager, Luton Town’s Rob Edwards could become only the third manager to lose his first five games in the competition all within the same season, after Mick McCarthy in 2003 with Sunderland and Scott Parker in 2019 with Fulham.
Hwang Hee-chan has scored in three of Wolves’ five Premier League games this season, but has ended on the losing side in all of them (vs Brighton, Crystal Palace and Liverpool). He’s only the third player to score in and lose as many as three of his team’s opening five games of a season, after Nicolas Anelka for Bolton in 2007-08 and Michail Antonio in 2016-17 for West Ham.
