Jamie Carragher selects Leeds United and Wolves as two clubs under most pressure at the bottom

Jamie Carragher believes Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are the two clubs under the most pressure at the bottom of the Premier League. Both currently sit on nine points and in the bottom three of the table after poor recent runs of form.

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch is coming under increasing scrutiny from supporters after a run of eight games without a win, while Wolves have lost five of their last six matches. Wanderers have already sacked their manager Bruno Lage and placed Steve Davis in interim charge until 2023, but they are yet to see an upturn in results.

Carragher was speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football alongside Sean Dyche, where they were both analysing this season's potential relegation battle. Dyche thinks this year's fight is 'unusual' due to the number of teams that could be dragged into it, while Carragher picked out Leeds and Wolves as the two clubs where the most questions are being asked.

Dyche said: "Well it's early for that kind of talk but it's an unusual situation, normally you'd have the bottom two, three four sort of edging away, then that middle group and then the top group. It seems as though it's a big split this year so it'll be interesting to see how it's going to pan out."

Carragher then added: "You talk about them all being in a relegation fight, you look at certainly two of the teams - not just because they are in the bottom three - but there will be questions asked on the back of their results at the weekend. Jesse Marsch looks as though he's under pressure from the Leeds fans, Wolves are an interesting one.

"They obviously went for Michael Beale, that hasn't happened and they've put Steve Davis in charge until 2023. It's interesting the dynamic of other teams changing, getting a decent result, what actually goes into the head of the Wolves board then."
