Wolves vs Brighton Current League Standings

After enduring their worst start to a Premier League season ever, losing each of their first five fixtures, the Old Gold outfit finally won a point last weekend – and it was close to being all three if not for a late leveller by Spurs’ Joao Palhinha. Nonetheless, Pereira’s side find themselves dead last in the top-flight and will most likely remain there regardless of this weekend’s results.

As for Brighton, their statement comeback victory over Chelsea last weekend has pushed them into the top half. Their tally of eight points from their two wins, two draws and two defeats with an even goal difference put them level with the Blues, and a win here will most likely see them rise into the top eight.
