After scoring 30 minutes into his Southampton debut last time out, Takumi Minamino can be the first player to score in each of their first two Premier League appearances for the club since Manolo Gabbiadini in February 2017.
Saints' James Ward-Prowse scored his fourth direct free-kick goal of the PL season last weekend. Only David Beckham in 2000/01 and Laurent Robert in 2001/02 have ever scored five in a campaign in the competition.
Including penalties, Wolverhampton Wanderers are the only PL team this season to have scored more goals from set-pieces than from open play, with 12 and 11 respectively. However, only West Ham United and Arsenal have conceded fewer set-piece goals than Southampton's six, with four each.
Wolves haven’t opened the scoring in any of their last 13 PL matches. Only three clubs have ever had a longer run in the competition without netting the first goal – Manchester City in 1995 (16), Coventry City in 1996 (14) and West Ham in 1997 (14).
