Wolves midfielder Joao Moutinho feels they have a knack of beating the Premier League's biggest clubs.

Wolves have made a habit of upsetting the big guns, holding Chelsea last Sunday, thwarting ­ Manchester City at Molineux and knocking Liverpool out of the FA Cup on the way to the quarter-finals.

Moutinho has a theory as to why they have become big-game hunters.

“We have skilful players, players who like to get on the ball and control the ball," he said. “Maybe you have more space against the bigger teams and maybe we can impose our style a bit more on the match.

“It's very difficult in England, we've done well against the big teams and yet we've had some bad ­results against teams lower in the table.

“That's not us ­believing the games are easy, it's just that every game is so hard in the Premier League."
