Newcastle and Wolves Current Form and Standings

Newcastle have had an extremely poor start to the Premier League season by their standards. Of course the loss of Alexander Isak has in no way helped them, but the Magpies have only picked up two points from their opening three matches. Eddie Howe’s men endured two 0-0 draws to both Aston Villa on opening day and Leeds United in their most recent game. However, they also suffered a heartbreaking defeat to reigning champions Liverpool in between. In that game, Newcastle came from 2-0 down to level the score 2-2 in the 88th minute, but then in the 100th minute of the match, 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha netted a winning goal for Liverpool to end the affair 3-2. The North East outfit now occupy 17th place in the table and need to pick up wins soon.

Wolves had an even more miserable start to their campaign. Vitor Pereira’s men are still yet to pick up a single point in the Premier League after three games and have conceded the joint-most goals with eight in total. They have played Manchester City, Bournemouth and Everton, where they lost all three. Man City was especially bleak, as the West Midlands side suffered a 4-0 defeat. However, last game did look more promising for Wolves, as they managed to score two goals past Everton. The problem lies defensively, with them still conceding three goals in that game. Obviously there is still loads of time left in this season, but if Wolves don’t start improving and picking up points, relegation could be a huge threat to them.
