Sunderland (9th, 11 points) had their four-game unbeaten run snapped by Manchester United before the international break, and suddenly goals are harder to come by for the Black Cats. After putting three past West Ham on opening day and scoring two late goals to beat Brentford in week 3, Sunderland have scored just twice in their last four games.
Speaking goals being hard to come by, Wolves (20th, 2 points) have scored just five times and no player has scored more than one goal thus far. It comes as no surprise that Matheus Cunha’s departure has left Vitor Pereira’s side woefully short on attacking quality, but no one has scored fewer goals than Wolves and only Burnley and Brentford average fewer shot attempts (9.4).
