Wolves’ horrendous start to the season could make unwanted Premier League history if they fall to defeat against Leeds United.
Vitor Pereira’s side are yet to claim a point in the Premier League so far with four straight successive defeats.
Nick Woltemade scored on his Newcastle debut to condemn Wolves to a 1-0 defeat in their latest fixture, with star striker Jorgen Strand Larsen injured.
Last season, Wolves also made a poor start and didn’t register a first win until 11 matches into the campaign, but eventually steered clear of the relegation zone to finish 16th.

Wolves welcome promoted Leeds to Molineux next, with another defeat putting them in an exclusive club with just five other Premier League teams.
As per The Athletic [15 September], defeat against Leeds would mean Wolves would start the season with five successive defeats, becoming just the sixth team to do so in Premier League history.
For Wolves, it is their worst ever start in the club’s history, but they’re only three points off safety with plenty of time to make up for a poor start.
