The thing about that sort of problem is there's no perfect solution to it. You just keep plugging away at it, and in some games a stroke of genius or a bit of luck comes along and you make the breakthrough - in others you don't.
Frustrating to watch for me, but I understand it - not many teams will risk playing us on our own terms.

Yeah if you grab a goal off a corner or something half hour in it's plain sailing.

If you include their Carabao Cup match against Brighton, Wolves will have played all seven of the top eight in the Premier League already this season after this match. It's been a rotten fixture list.

That makes them a hard team to assess, especially when they've posted some encouraging performances and racked up some healthy underlying numbers. Gary O'Neil's team have conceded almost seven more goals than their expected goals against numbers suggest - the biggest defensive underperformance.

Those numbers will close, potentially this weekend. Wolves are owed a bit of luck and Liverpool showed in their defeat to Nottingham Forest this Arne Slot team will go through some sticky patches this season. Wolves to avoid defeat at 9/4 with Sky Bet looks a big price.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1

Ipswich are having to become a bit nastier than they were in the Championship in order to try and survive at this level.

They are making more fouls (14.2), receiving more yellow cards (3) and making more tackles (18.4) than they did per 90 in the Championship. Aston Villa are also a team that like confrontation and this looks a potential firecracker of an encounter where the cards line is a value play at 10/11 with Sky Bet for 50+ booking points.

Referees are as fussy as ever in the Premier League and 19 of the last 23 matches have seen 50+ booking points dished out.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: 50+ booking points (10/11 with Sky Bet, part of 9/1 treble)

This has to be the trickiest game of the weekend to form a strong opinion on. It could end 4-1 either way. It could end 4-4. I haven't a clue.

I do think Manchester United are improving on what we saw last season, just a basic drawdown of their baffling data from last season proves that. They've only faced 10 shots per game this season after facing 17.6 per game last season and are averaging just 3.1 corners per game conceded this season which was at a remarkable 7.3 last season, the most of any Premier League team.

Meanwhile, Tottenham's record against top-11 teams away from home since the start of last season is awful, winning two of 12 matches, and conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game.

The 13/10 on a home win did tempt me but I'm not quite trustworthy enough of United yet to invest.

A high-scoring draw it is then.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2

When there is Tyler Dibling, there is hope for Southampton this season.

We might just be looking at the next superstar in English football based on his early output.

Play Video - Last-gasp Morsy equaliser denies Saints first PL win
Highlights from the Premier League match between Southampton and Ipswich
The 18-year-old academy product wowed on debut against Manchester United, bamboozling Diogo Dalot who made four fouls against him, including one to win Saints a penalty. He then scored his first goal of his career in the 1-1 draw with Ipswich and created another big moment for Cameron Archer, who hit the post with a wasteful finish.

His attacking output and the way he moves with the ball reminds me of Jack Grealish - and he draws fouls like him too, winning eight fouls in his two Premier League starts. His opposite number Milos Kerkez might be in for a tricky evening and looks a spot of value to be carded at 9/2 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1

Hurricane.

Not a direct hit but we've had so much rain lately, the ground is soft so trees just fallen over all over the place taking power lines with them.

Ah ok. Saw that one, but it seemed to come up from the Gulf and veer west of you.

It did(the center) but the storm is multiple states wide in size. More people without power here in South Carolina than any other state. I had to take three detours to the grocery store just now because trees down across roads.. it's going to take a while to return to normal.

Good read from Dias talking about the season so far and how things have changed slightly.

I know you’d expect players to say good things about the new manager but everyone seems really impressed with Slot, really happy with style tactics training etc. it does seem that despite everyone loving klopp, that change in voice and just freshening things up has given everyone a lift.

Seen Jones, TAA, Diaz all speak really highly about Slot and style so far.

Proof will be when hit a bad run but so far, it’s encouraging that everyone seems happy and does hint that there’s more chance TAA vvd Salah staying.

Was a video of the players all reviewing their fifa ratings for 25 and seems a great team chemistry there, even Nunez taking the piss out of himself for being on the bench most of the season so far!

Wolves step up their quest for a first Premier League win of the season on Saturday evening when Liverpool visit Molineux, and wolves.co.uk has everything supporters need to know.

1 | Roll Call

Gary O’Neil is without Yerson Mosquera for, most likely, the rest of the season, so now searches for a way to replace the central defender, who had played every minute of Premier League action before his injury at Aston Villa. Toti has partly returned to training this week, following three matches out with a hamstring injury, and he’ll be assessed on Saturday morning to see if he can come return. Santiago Bueno came off the bench at Villa Park and is another option. Youngster Alfie Pond, who featured at Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup, is now closer to the team too, according to the head coach. Goalkeeper Dan Bentley has recovered from illness and is available once more. Boubacar Traore, Bastien Meupiyou, Enso Gonzalez and Sasa Kalajdzic remain out with long-term injuries.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is expected to return on Saturday, having missed the last two games with a muscle injury. Caoimhin Kelleher was between the sticks for the past two games, but will return to the bench, should Alisson be available. Harvey Elliott is out with a foot injury, but Arne Slot confirmed no new injury concerns for the Reds. Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota have both held the centre forward position in recent weeks, with the former Old Gold man scoring twice in the week against West Ham United in the Carabao Cup.
