The UK’s third biggest grocer reports its second quarter results on Thursday.
Industry figures last week revealed it to be the worst-performing major supermarket over the three months to August 10.
Sales fell 2.6 per cent to £4.22billion over the period, making it the only grocer to see sales plunge, apart from the Co-op which saw a 3.2 per cent drop.
