Comments:

League position: 20th . Prior to the arrival of new manager Julen Lopetegui, this was Steve Davis’ last game game in caretaker charge. . As this was their final game before the break for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Wolverhampton Wanderers would now be bottom of the Premier League table at Christmas. Only three of the teams that had filled the position in the 30 previous seasons of the competition had gone on to avoid relegation. . Wolves had now scored eight goals in their 15 games so far in this Premier League season; three fewer than any other team.
