Recent respective form guides

Wolverhampton Wanderers have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 2 goals have been registered in this time, with 4 in the wrong end.

Sunderland's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Black Cats have conceded 8 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Wolves are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 35 points from 37 matches. Sunderland see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premier League, showing a record of 44 points from their 37 games played so far,
