The Premier League records Wolves could still chase with 21 points to play for | OneFootball

Wolves have steered clear of Derby’s all-time low and could now target other meagre Premier League totals, with seven games left and 21 points on the line.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, an awful start under Vitor Pereira led to his dismissal and the appointment of former defender Rob Edwards, whose opening matches also left the side bottom.

Performances improved over the festive period and results followed. Wolves moved beyond Derby County’s 11, then also surpassed Southampton’s 12, Sunderland’s 15, and the 16-point hauls posted by Sheffield United in 2023/24 and Huddersfield Town in 2018/19.

They now sit level with the points Aston Villa collected in 2017/18 when relegated. From here, the low marks they could catch include 19 points, Sunderland 2002/03, 21, Norwich 2019/20, 22, Norwich 2021/22, and 23, Sheffield United 2020/21.

Further thresholds are 24, Watford 1999/00 and Sunderland 2016/17, 25, Wolves 2011/12, QPR 2012/13 and Southampton 2022/23, 26, Bradford 2000/01, 28, Leicester 2001/02 and Watford 2006/07, and 30, Cardiff 2013/14 and QPR 2014/15.
