Premier League updates from the 2pm BST kick-offLive scoreboard | And mail Daniel with your thoughts
That the league table doesn’t lie is one of football’s truest truisms. There is a metric specifically designed to tell us which team deserves to win a match – it’s better known as “the score” – and these results are then collated into a precise overall ranking which brooks no argument. It sounds simple because it is.
And yet! Wolves, the aforementioned table tells us, are the second-worst team in it, their one point from seven games two fewer than Crystal Palace who sit above them and the same as Southampton who lie below. But the sense persists that they aren’t, or at least shouldn’t be that bad, and as such Gary O’Neil is under severe pressure.
