Wolves New Era: Edwards Takes Charge Amidst Relegation Battle
22 Nov
Summary
- Wolves, winless and last, hope new manager Edwards sparks survival.
- Palace, in form and unbeaten in four, visit Molineux.
- Key injuries for Wolves but boosted squad for Palace.
A new chapter begins for Wolves as Rob Edwards takes the helm for his first game, facing a crucial clash at Molineux. The team is currently rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, searching for their first win of the season. They host a Crystal Palace side that has found steady form, boasting an unbeaten streak of four matches across all competitions.
Wolves have endured a dismal start, collecting only two points from their opening 11 games and suffering five consecutive league defeats. Edwards' arrival signals a critical push for survival, with the squad largely fit but missing key defenders Matt Doherty and Dan Bentley. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, enters the match boosted by the return of key players like captain Marc Guéhi and striker Eddie Nketiah, despite long-term absences.
The match presents a stark contrast in fortunes, with Wolves aiming to leverage the "new manager bounce" against a Palace team sitting comfortably in mid-table. While Wolves are desperate for points, Crystal Palace aims to extend their positive run and solidify their position. The game is a pivotal moment for Wolves' season, needing a significant turnaround to avoid relegation.
