Supercomputer predicts who Wolves will be relegated from Premier League with after defeat vs Man United
Wolves’ hopes of staying in the Premier League look nearly impossible after their 4-1 defeat to Man United on 8 December.
Bruno Fernandes converted a dubious penalty in their huge victory over Wolves in front of a miserable Molineux crowd.
The defeat sees the Old Gold still rock bottom and without a win in their first 15 matches as the inevitable threat of relegation edges ever closer.
Moreover, with Leeds picking up an important point against Liverpool on 6 December, the Wanderers are beginning to see their rivals for the drop create an even bigger gap.
Wolves destined for the Championship with a 99.17% chance of relegation
The culmination of round 15 of the Premier League has seen the latest predictions from Opta Analyst emerge for who is set to head down to the English second-tier.
Unsurprisingly, Wolves have been handed a 99.17 per cent chance of relegation following their dismal start to the campaign.
Although, the one saving grace is that they are predicted to pick up 20.87 points, which will ensure they don’t become the worst side in history with the unwanted title remaining with Derby County’s 2007-08 season.
Also expected to go down are Burnley, who have a 80.31 per cent chance of being relegated after a difficult campaign under Scott Parker back in the English top-flight.
Possibly coming down to the last day, the key battle appears to be between Leeds and West Ham to avoid being sucked down to the Championship in 18th place.
The Hammers are currently predicted to stay up with 38.26 points, marginally surpassing the Whites with 38.12 points, suggesting it could come down to goal difference for who will be demoted come the end of the season.
Sunderland continue to be the surprise package from the promoted sides
Given the last two seasons have seen the same trend of all the promoted teams going straight back down, Sunderland are certainly seeking to break the trend.
The Black Cats have been predicted to finish 14th with 47.89 points after an impressive start to their long-awaited return to the English top-flight.
Regis Le Bris’ side have employed a mixture of clinical finishing, resolute defending and utilising their buoyant home crowd to pick up some cracking results as they look like they will avoid relegation.
