Manager Mick McCarthy does not believe his Wolves side should be fearful of facing the Premier League's big guns - as they are fixtures the club would have dreamed of when they were in the Championship. McCarthy did brilliantly to keep the midlands side in the top flight last season but they have endured a difficult start to the new campaign. They find themselves 18th in the table and have not won a league fixture since their victory over Stoke on the opening day. The Molineux outfit's next four Premier League fixtures see them travel to leaders Chelsea before meeting Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal - a run of games which few pundits will expect them to get anything from. But McCarthy says these are the sort of games that he and his players should relish. "I remember the scenes when we won the Championship, we knew what we were getting into," he said. "They are four games against big clubs, five with our game against Manchester United in the Carling Cup, they are big games. "You can take two views. It can be an exciting time or one to fear. I take it as an exciting time. They are great clubs to play against, it's better than four Championship games."
