Wolves boss Vitor Pereira, speaking to Sky Sports after their loss at Chelsea on Monday: "We faced a strong team with players who can create chances one against one. We started the game not in the way that I like. We defended too much in the low block.

"We conceded two goals from set-pieces and a goal that we cannot concede. We need to improve tactical maturity.

"The worst moment of our game is when we are defending in the last third; when we are defending in front of our box. This is a problem for us."

Wolves have lost their first three league games to start a calendar year for the first time since 1982 - a season they were relegated from the top flight.

Meanwhile, Wanderers have conceded 11 goals from corners in the Premier League this season, more than any other team. They have also let in 19 goals from set-pieces (excluding penalties), which is at least seven more than any other side.
