History of the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Stoke City fixture

Wolves prepare to entertain Stoke City at Molineux on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Wolves are clearly on top, having won 40 and lost only 12 of the 69 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Molineux was less than a year ago, in March 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
