Fixtures a factor in upsets - Edwards
Wolves' David Edwards thinks fixture demands on the Premier League's top teams are a key factor behind the number of upsets so far this season.[LNB] Edwards netted the winner as Wolves saw off mega-rich Manchester City at Molineux on Saturday, following on from West Brom's win at Arsenal and draw at Manchester United and Blackpool's victory at Liverpool.[LNB]The former Shrewsbury and Luton man told the Express and Star: "I think (the big teams) are more beatable this season than any other season because of the intensity of their fixture list.[LNB]"The lower teams are really closing the gap on how good they are.[LNB]"In the past you had the bottom three or four teams who would never get a result against a big team. But I think the Premier League is now getting a bit closer and that is good for us."[LNB]Edwards is confident the 2-1 victory over Manchester City can kickstart Wolves' season, which now features a trip to face Manchester United at Old Trafford followed by a home game against Arsenal.[LNB]He added: "We got a good performance on Tuesday against Manchester United in the Carling Cup and that showed to us that we can go there on Saturday and get a result. The boys are very confident that we can get something.[LNB]"Saturday was a massive relief and three massive points for us.[LNB]"If we had lost we would have gone to Old Trafford really cut adrift at the bottom so it was nice to get three points.[LNB]"It's nice to get some points to match the performances because in the last three or four games we have played well and not picked up the results."[LNB]
