Gary O’Neil has said Wolves cannot afford to be scarred from their bruising start, with the manager adamant a “tipping point” is coming. O’Neil conceded their winless run looks “like a disaster” and acknowledged the visit of Manchester City will expose fragility after six defeats from their opening seven matches left them bottom of the Premier League.

O’Neil’s side have taken a solitary point – a draw at Nottingham Forest in August – from a brutal run of fixtures. Wolves have played seven of the league’s top 11 before welcoming Pep Guardiola’s champions on Sunday and face a trip to high-flying Brighton next weekend.
