PAUL MERSON'S BRUTAL VERDICT: WOLVES CAN BREAK LOWEST PREMIER LEAGUE POINTS RECORD
Paul Merson delivers a brutal verdict on Wolves, predicting a comfortable 3-0 win for Aston Villa and suggesting they could break Derby's low-points record.
Wolves' chances of getting relegated are getting worse every week. With Aston Villa coming up, that could become even more likely—at least, that's what Paul Merson thinks.
This game is Rob Edwards’ first away match, and it's unclear how he'll turn the team around.
The team really lacks quality, and the stats show it. Wolves have only scored seven goals but have let in 27.
Fans might hope Edwards can inspire a win like Wolves' 3-2 victory against Villa in 2021, but right now, optimism is hard to come by.
And Paul Merson definitely isn’t helping.
Paul Merson doesn’t think Wolves have any chance against Aston Villa
If Rob Edwards was hoping for support before playing Aston Villa, he won't find it with Paul Merson.
The former Arsenal player turned commentator has shared his predictions for the weekend and gave Wolves a harsh review.
Wolves desperately need a win, having gone 12 Premier League games without one. If you include last season, that stretches to 16 games.
But, Paul Merson isn't convinced that their losing streak will end at Villa Park.
Wolves’ comeback win at Villa Park in 2021 was amazing. It was definitely one of the best Wolves moments since their promotion in 2018.
In his Sportskeeda column, Merson wrote, “I don’t think Wolves can win this weekend. It looks like Wolves might beat Derby County's record for the lowest points this season.”
“If you look at Wolves’ results, they lost to all three teams that were promoted. Their upcoming games don't look easy either. Before they know it, Wolves could be completely out of the relegation fight. I don’t think Wolves have a chance here; it seems too difficult for them. Villa will win easily.”
In the end, the commentator predicted a 3-0 win for Unai Emery’s team.
And if Rob Edwards wants any chance of winning, Wolves need to stop one of Aston Villa’s biggest strengths.
It’s a tough time to play Aston Villa. Wolves are playing at Villa Park at the worst possible time.
Villa is in great form, having won 18 of their last 21 possible points. They have climbed the table, going from 18th to fourth place.
Plus, any worries that playing in the Europa League would tire them out have been disproven by their results after those games.
Aston Villa have won all four of their Premier League games after playing in Europe that week.
Rob Edwards will need to do something really amazing this weekend.
CONOR GALLAGHER CONFIRMED AS "VITAL" STARTER FOR SPURS FOLLOWING BENTANCUR’S INJURY LAYOFF
Conor Gallagher proved the doubters wrong against Man City. Discover why his €40m move to Tottenham is finally paying off for Spurs.
_1770149665.webp)
Chelsea and Atletico Madrid both decided Conor Gallagher wasn’t worth the trouble. At Chelsea, he had his moments—Pochettino liked him, but the fans never really warmed up. When Chelsea shipped him off to Atletico, it made sense. Enzo Fernandez stepped up, took over Gallagher’s role, and fit in perfectly next to Caicedo, with Cole Palmer adding that extra spark up front.
Things didn’t get much better for Gallagher in Spain. He barely got a chance at Atleti, lost his spot in the starting eleven, and pretty much ended up on the transfer list before anyone had time to blink. Interest was lukewarm at best until the winter window rolled around. Aston Villa wanted him and went after him pretty aggressively, but then Tottenham swooped in late. Spurs needed someone to patch up the midfield after Bentancur’s injury, so they just paid up—40 million euros, no hesitation.
His start at Tottenham? Rough. Honestly, that was to be expected. He’d played well at Palace before, but after his struggles at Atleti, he needed time to adjust. Sitting on the bench in Spain didn’t do him any favours.
Then Gallagher showed up. People doubted whether he could really add creativity and move the ball forward for Spurs, so his early struggles got people worried. But then came the 2-2 draw against Manchester City. He suddenly looked like the player both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank were so desperate to sign.
Against City, Gallagher flipped the script. He set up a crucial assist, drove play forward on the dribble, and kept drawing fouls—everything the Spurs needed. Defensively, he was all over the place in a good way: two tackles, three interceptions, a full 90 minutes, and a huge part of the Spurs clawing their way back into the game.
Tottenham fans loved it. They saw the effort, the attitude, and the hunger to win. Gallagher just wouldn’t quit, and in that second half, he, Xavi Simons, Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, and Dominic Solanke ran the show. Four of those guys have been carrying Spurs lately, so Gallagher is fitting right in with them. That’s a pretty good sign he’s going to work out just fine in North London.
