Wolverhampton Wanderers have won their last two home games against Burnley, aiming to win three on the spin for the first time since 2005. The Clarets have won only four of 20 visits to Molineux since 1986.
Wolves vs Burnley preview
We may only be eight matches into this Premier League season, but this is a bona fide relegation six pointer. Wolverhampton Wanderers are still yet to claim a league win this season, thereby rooted to the foot of the table. Last weekend, Vítor Pereira's team were beaten 2-0 by newly-promoted Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, with Ladislav Krejčí's stoppage time goal cementing the defeat.
Before this, Wolves had shown signs of life, holding both Spurs and Brighton to 1-1 draws, denied victory late on both times, conceding equalisers in the 94th and 86th minutes. Now, considering that a relegation rival is visiting the Black Country on Sunday, this game feels must win for Wolves, as well as manager Pereira, so can the Old Gold claim a priceless victory?
As for Burnley, they will make the 92 mile journey south full of confidence, having climbed out of the relegation zone last weekend. The Clarets beat Leeds United 2-0 at Turf Moor eight days ago, thanks to goals from Lesley Ugochukwu and then Loum Tchaouna in Lancarshire.
Scott Parker's side have now enjoyed two victories this season, both coming against fellow newly-promoted outfits at home, also beating Sunderland in August. If they're going to beat the drop, that is of course going to need to change, but they'll surely fancy their chances of a win at Molineux.

Wolves player to watch vs Burnley
Jørgen Strand Larsen scored 15 Premier League goals last season, yet to get off the mark this time round, albeit he did net twice against West Ham in the EFL Cup, so can he bag a crucial one here?
Burnley team news
Having beaten Leeds last weekend, there is little reason for Scott Parker to change very much.
Loum Tchaouna's goal off the bench could see him displace Jacob Bruun Larsen in attack, while Zian Flemming could continue to lead the attack, chosen over Lyle Foster and Armando Broja.
Burnley predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-3-3): Dúbravka; Walker, Estève, Tuanzebe, Hartman; Cullen, Ugochukwu, Florentino Luís, Tchaouna, Anthony; Flemming.

Jaidon Anthony has scored four goals so far this season, on target at Old Trafford and the Etihad, so can he add Molineux to this list?

We are backing Wolves to, just, claim all three points at Molineux on Sunday, albeit this could go either-way. A high-scoring affair is unlikely though: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Burnley.
