Match facts

  • Wolves have won four consecutive league games for the second time in 2017. They also won five in a row back in April, during which they beat Cardiff at Molineux in the process.
  • Cardiff City's winning start represents the first time in the Championship club's 107-year history that they have won their opening three league games of a season.
  • Wolves have not won their first four league games of a season since 1998-99, when they were in the second tier, under Mark McGhee.
  • This is boss Neil Warnock's best start to a league campaign since 2010-11, in which he guided QPR to the Championship title. But no side of his have ever won their opening four games to a league season.
  • Wolves' 3-1 win over Cardiff in April 2017 ended a three-match losing streak in the league - their longest-ever losing run against the Bluebirds.
  • Cardiff are still to concede their first league goal this season - but they have managed just one clean sheet in their last 20 league visits to Molineux.
