On Saturday at Molineux, Wolves will play host to Southampton, and Bruno Lage will be under pressure as his team continues to look for their first victory of the year.
WOLVES v. SAINTS LIVE STREAMING
Since the start of last season, Lage's team has gone 12 games without a victory in the Premier League, and their 0-0 draw at Bournemouth highlighted their goal-scoring woes.
Following their comeback victory over Chelsea, Southampton is on a high as Ralph Hasenhuttl's young team has gained seven points from deficits this season.

For Wolves vs. Southampton, here is everything you need to know.
The wolves are under a lot of pressure since Lage's team consistently has the majority of possession but struggles to convert chances, which seems to be more of a mental barrier than anything else. The dissatisfaction of their players and manager was evident throughout their Wednesday 0-0 draw against Bournemouth. They must triumph over Southampton. Big.
As for Southampton is confident going into this match and has handled a challenging start to the season well. From their first five games, Ralph Hasenhuttl's team had seven points, and three of those games were against Tottenham, Manchester United, and Chelsea. These were the games they struggled in last season, and they now start a series of more "winnable" contests. See if the Saints can now capitalize on their unforeseen fast start to the season.
Players to watch that are in good form
While Jose Sa continues to hold his ground in goal, Ruben Neves of Wolves continues to direct play in midfield and is a force to be reckoned with.
Romeo Lavia (18) and Armel Bella-Kotchap (20) performed admirably for Southampton's new young core during the win over Chelsea, with the former stopping Chelsea's onslaught and the latter scoring his first Premier League goal in style. Che Adams, who has been excellently leading the line, should be avoided.
Wolves roster options, injuries, and team news
The only ongoing injury issue for Wolves is Chiquinho, who is out. Will Lage continue to play with the same squad that drew against Bournemouth? Or will he start Daniel Podence and Adama Traore, who both made significant contributions off the bench?
Updates on Southampton's roster, injuries, and injuries
Tino Livramento is still sidelined with a chronic knee problem, while Romeo Lavia, who was injured against Chelsea, will likely be sidelined for a few weeks.
