It is tough times for Wolves manager Gary O’Neil after another game without a win for his side.

Wolves are now 18th in the Premier League and have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup.

O’Neil’s side made a good show of themselves in the opening game away at Arsenal but were ultimately beaten 2-0 by the title contenders.

That was then followed up by a disappointing loss at home to Chelsea, a game in which Wolves shipped six goals.

Wolves’ only point in the league came away at Nottingham Forest before being narrowly beaten at home to Newcastle, despite leading for much of the match.

With Aston Villa away up next, O’Neil may well start to feel the strain of having just one point from a possible 12.

Wolves finished in 14th last season, 20 points above Luton in 18th, and may have had ambitions to push on.

However, after a tough run of form, their ambition for this term may well be to remain in the Premier League.
