Wolves are now the second team to achieve an unwanted Premier League record

Wolves have created a lot of unwanted history this season after their winless start to the season, and yet another record has fallen their way.

Defeat against Sunderland has compounded onto the dreadful mood surrounding the club.

Tony Cascarino has been left shocked by how bad Wolves have been, and there are no signs of a turnaround anytime soon.

They have now joined Saturday’s opponents on the list of an accolade no club will be looking to brag about.

Wolves are the second team to go winless in opening eight games in consecutive seasons

Wolves’ miserable start to the season has been highlighted by a stat that only one other team has ever achieved in the Premier League.

The Old Gold have gone winless in the first eight games of a season for two campaigns in a row.

They are now just the second team to have ever done so after Sunderland in 2015/16 and 2016/17, as per the Premier League.

The form is alarming, and fans have started to question manager Vitor Pereira on whether he is the right man to lead them forward.

Additionally, Hugo Bueno believes their finishing in front of goal is the main issue, and once that is solved, they can turn things around.

If Wolves are to turn around their form, they must start by winning their next match.

Burnley are Wolves’ best chance at a win in the next five games

Wolves’ fixtures over the next five games are incredibly difficult, and Burnley are perhaps the ‘easiest’ opponent.

Of course, in the Premier League each game will have its challenges, but with the likes of Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa on the horizon, they must have a win under their belt before then.

A loss or even a draw at home to Burnley will no doubt increase the already high tensions among supporters.

The Old Gold are in huge trouble, and with supporters turning on Vitor Pereira, a poor result could spell the end of his time at Molineux.
