The most notable miss of the defeat to Wolves came from Raheem Sterling, whose effort was saved by Jose Sa after he opted to shoot despite having the chance to put it right to the unmarked Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson.

Pochettino regretted the missed opportunities after the match. He said: “We talk a lot from the beginning about the fact that this group of players is very young.

'They are young in age and it is their first time in the Premier League. They have to feel the adjustment and of course it is about trust.

'It's also about quality. It's about many things.

'We have to score if we want to win the games and now it is difficult because we are very disappointed after the match.

'We have to learn from these kinds of games.'

Third-placed Liverpool are close to Chelsea in the big chance missed charts, missing 34 of 55.

Meanwhile, league leaders Arsenal are in 11th place with 25 missed big chances out of 47, while Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are in seventh place with 31 big chances out of 55.
