Wolverhampton are on the penultimate place of the Premier League with two points. Gary O’Neil is probably hoping that this match will be the beginning of a way out of the crisis. Wolves in recent matches have already worked to win on aggregate. At least somewhere, at least with someone, but the hosts really need it. If O’Neill can’t win before the next international break, he will most likely be sacked.
Crystal Palace won their first victory in the championship and managed to get out of the relegation zone. And in the next match they knocked out of the League Cup Aston Villa, and even away. Now the Eagles have climbed to the 17th line and will try to climb higher. In the next matches, Crystal Palace are not expected to face any super difficult opponents for a month ahead.
