Are Wolves about to crash back to earth with an almighty bump or have they only suffered a minor wobble in their pursuit of European football next year? Narrow back-to-back defeats against top-four rivals Arsenal and West Ham have dented their hopes of muscling in on the Champions League places but they have previously shown an ability to put setbacks behind them and go on impressive runs. They also have a favourable run of fixtures coming up – Watford, Everton, Leeds, Aston Villa and Newcastle – but a Crystal Palace side unbeaten in their past five away games will prove stiff opposition.
