Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers are a major club in England and have established themselves as a regular fixture in the Premier League, but they are not having the best of times at the moment. Just like last season, Wolves are in danger of getting dragged into a relegation fight this season.

Wolves will head into the Premier League game against Newcastle United at Molineux Stadium this coming weekend on the back of a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest away from home at City Ground in the Premier League.
