✓Wolves have named five players aged 21 or younger in their starting XI against Brighton (Silva, Hoever, Aït-Nouri, Vitinha, Gibbs-White); they are the first side to do so in a Premier League match since Leicester against Crystal Palace in April 2018. Fledgling.

✓Bruno Fernandes’ penalty was the 113th taken in this season’s Premier League, breaking the all-time competition record of 112 previously set in 2006-07. Expected.
✓Edinson Cavani has equalled the Manchester United record for the highest number of Premier League goals scored as a substitute in a season, currently held by Chicharito in 2010-11 and Ole Gunnar Solskjær in 1998-99 (5 each). Weapon.
