Wolves, who struggled last season, have had similar challenges since the start of 2024/25. Gary O’Neil’s team needs a win on Wednesday after a terrible performance at Molineux over the weekend and a 6-2 loss at home to Chelsea. The former Bournemouth manager may be under pressure after two Premier League losses since the month began. They are now 18-4 down in their last five Premier League matches. Since returning from March’s international break, Wolves have won just one game in any competition and lost eight of their previous nine top-flight matches.

Burnley, who left the Premier League last season, is starting a new chapter this summer. After hiring ex-Fulham manager Scott Parker, the Clarets started 2024/25 with straight Championship wins. The Lancashire team may be a championship contender this year, but their early run ended over the weekend. Parker’s team needs a quick reaction after losing 1-0 to Sunderland. Burnley may be seeking to cash in on a struggling Wolves team, but their recent trip to the Midlands will worry them. The Clarets lost 1-0 at Molineux on December 5.
