Wolves remain winless in the Premier League and Gary O’Neil is now under serious pressure.
Wanderers drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace on Saturday at Molineux, in what was a disappointing result.
The game was seen by most as must-win, and Wolves went 2-1 up in the game after initially falling behind.
But, as fans have already seen several times this season, Wolves relinquished their lead to only take a point.
It is now just three points taken from the first 10 games. There are three Premier League teams who have survived relegation after having the same start, but Wolves have a lot of work to do to avoid relegation.
This morning, Jeff Stelling gave his thoughts about Wolves and whether the club will stay up.
Jeff Stelling tips Wolves to survive relegation
The situation right now is grim for Wolves.
It is just one win in the last 20 Premier League games stretching back to last season, and no clean sheets in the last 22.
Managers at other clubs overseeing such a run may not have lasted as long as O’Neil has, and many feel he is now on borrowed time.
Gary O’Neil was defiant after the draw with Palace, but surely he must know that anything other than a win this weekend will be unacceptable. Failure to beat Southampton might see Fosun finally sack O’Neil.
Fans are growing increasingly concerned, but one man who thinks Wolves will still be OK this season is Jeff Stelling.
The presenter said on talkSPORT this morning: “My prediction about relegation will be that Wolves, who are rock bottom of the table and winless, will stay up. So Wolves to stay in the Premier League, that’s my second prediction.”
Wolves have a mountain to climb to survive relegation
Wolves are potentially going to really struggle to survive relegation.
There are many problems at the moment, and O’Neil is rapidly losing the fanbase. There are circumstances as to why Wolves are on the run that they’re on, but it just hasn’t been good enough.

But pundit Tony Casacarino pointed out that Wolves’ attacking quality is a shining light, and that is reason for optimism.
Wolves have scored 14 goals so far – only eight other Premier League sides have scored more.
Wolves’ defending has really cost them and if there are no improvements in this area, then relegation will be a strong possibility.
