Excluding penalties, Wolves have conceded a league-high 15 goals from set-piece situations this season. Only in their relegation campaigns of 2003-04 (20) and 2011-12 (18) have they conceded more such goals in a Premier League season.

At home, they have conceded 34 goals in 16 Premier League games in 2024 so far. The last time they conceded more home league goals in a year was in 2012 (47 in 23 games), which is the only other year in the club's history they have conceded at a rate of two or more goals per game at Molineux.
