Leeds could do with a similar performance at Elland Road on Saturday, where they have failed to score in four of their last five league games, including the last three in a row. The only time the Whites have ever gone four home league games without scoring was in February-March 1982 under Allan Clarke in the old First Division.
Wolves on their last legs
Wolverhampton Wanderers have known for some time now that relegation is likely – they’ve been bottom of the table for each of their past 29 games – but this is the first matchweek in which it can be confirmed.
Wolves’ fate will be sealed if they lose to Leeds and Tottenham Hotspur beat Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday or West Ham United take at least a point in their Monday night game at Crystal Palace.
Even if Wolves were to pick up a point in West Yorkshire, they could still go down if West Ham win and Nottingham Forest avoid defeat against second-bottom Burnley.
Head coach Rob Edwards is to be commended for his efforts since he was appointed in November – the Old Gold have won 15 of their 17 points since the former Wales international took charge – but he is the new owner of an unwanted Premier League record.
Among the 130 coaches to have managed 50 or more games in the competition, ex-Luton Town boss Edwards has the lowest win percentage, with just nine victories in 59 matches (15.3%).
