Wolves' Worst Start in 127 Years Sets Up Leeds Test to Avoid 0-5

Vitor Pereira enters a pivotal week seeking to reset a disjointed squad after a late summer rebuild.

Overview

  • Wolves remain on zero points after four league games following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Newcastle, their poorest opening in 127 years, with nine goals conceded.
  • A loss to Leeds at Molineux would leave Wolves as only the sixth Premier League side to begin a season with five straight defeats, as noted by The Athletic.
  • Club backing for head coach Vitor Pereira persists for now, with BBC analysis saying the next stretch will shape his future and the team's trajectory.
  • Seven regulars left and six signings arrived late in a tight-budget window, hampering integration despite chairman Jeff Shi's insistence the business was positive.
  • Attacking threat has dipped without injured striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, while Leeds arrive winless in three and still seeking an open-play goal this season.
