Wolves vs Swansea - Match Preview
Wolves go into today's early afternoon 12.45pm kick off against Swansea knowing their fans will be expecting nothing less than three points, especially as their opponents have the worst away record in the league.
Wolves haven't won at the Molineux, always one of the more intimidating of grounds for opposing sides in two months but go into today's early afternoon 12.45pm kick off against Swansea knowing their fans will be expecting nothing less than three points, especially as their opponents have the worst away record in the league. The game is televised live on Sky Sports. Wolves' last home win, actually their last win of any kind, was on August 21st at home to Fulham that saw them go second in the table but since then they have spiralled, losing five games in a row. Though their performances haven't been terrible and Mick McCarthy would probably suggest that his side have been unlucky on numerous occassions, including the 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United here where a late equaliser was incorrectly ruled out. But because of their good start to the campaign, Wolves are still floating above the relegation zone but will be wary they have to travel to Manchester City and Chelsea soon and they can't expect much change there. Swansea meanwhile will be delighted with their start to the campaign, sitting pretty in 13th with seven teams below them and as long as their home form stays strong they have a great chance of survival in their first season in the Premier League. At home they haven't concede a goal but on their travels they can't stop leaking them and it doesn't bode too well for them today. The Welsh based team playing in England they have lost four off the trot but sooner or later than run has to come to and end sometime. And out of the four away games they've played - Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Norwich - only one of those grounds would you have expected them to pick up any points.
