The Telegraph's Luke Edwards, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast about Vitor Pereira's unbeaten start as Wolves boss:

"It's very early days - Ruud van Nistelrooy got off to a great start at Leicester and had them out of the relegation zone but [Pereira] does come with good pedigree.

"We had a Wolves fan on before Christmas saying the squad was a lot better than Gary O'Neil had made them look. The one person who's coming out of this looking really bad at the moment is O'Neil because the turnaround has been so rapid, and the transformation of certain players has been stunning.

"Those teams that have been in the Premier League for a little bit longer just have that little bit more quality and that little bit more experience of the top flight. So a manager coming into that situation with Wolves was always a lot more favourable than coming into the situation at Leicester with the squad they have.

"They've put in a bit of a gap now - we were talking about them definitely going down two or three weeks ago, but now they've given themselves a real opportunity [of staying up]."
