How Brighton and Wolves would love to start the new year with a bang. Graham Potter’s side have won none of their past seven matches and are hovering above the relegation zone, while Wolves have lost four of their six games since Raúl Jiménez fractured his skull in November and look flat in the final third. Wolves are ensconced in mid-table but Brighton appear on a slippery slope and Potter concedes this is the most challenging spell of his managerial career. “If you don’t win football matches, it’s harder to convince people that you are on the right path, and I can understand that,” he said.
