Wolves face Premier League relegation if they lose to Leeds United
Wolverhampton Wanderers could be relegated from the Premier League this Saturday if they lose to Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur defeat Brighton.
The Molineux outfit have been anchored to the bottom of the table since the third week of the 2025-26 campaign.
Rob Edwards’ side currently sit on just 17 points, having managed only three league victories all season.
A defeat against Daniel Farke’s men at Elland Road will leave the Black Country club on the brink of dropping into the Championship.
Their eight-year stay in the top flight will then officially end if Spurs secure three points against the Seagulls later in the day.
A difficult season at Molineux
Should the visitors manage to secure a result in Yorkshire, their top-flight status may only be extended until Monday evening.
That brief stay of execution relies heavily on the outcome of West Ham’s upcoming clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
It has been a turbulent year for the relegation-threatened club, who sacked Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira in early November.
Former Luton boss Edwards was drafted in to halt the slide, leading the team to back-to-back victories over Aston Villa and Liverpool earlier this year.
Structural changes and past success
The current manager credits a streamlined squad for their recent, albeit belated, upturn in performances.
“We shortened the squad down. And everyone that remains has been part of it and everyone’s been involved, which has been good.” Rob Edwards
“There’s a few people that have come into the team and I think they’ve really excelled, and performed really, really well.” Rob Edwards
The Wanderers originally earned promotion to the Premier League under Nuno Espirito Santo in 2018.
During their initial years back in the highest tier, they enjoyed two top-half finishes and reached the Europa League quarter-finals.
However, they narrowly avoided the drop last season by finishing 16th and now look certain to join Burnley in the second tier next term.
Coventry City have already confirmed their promotion from the Championship to take one of the vacant spots in the top flight.
