Currently at home, bound to fail? (2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

no win

'bound to fail?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'currently at home' is the wordplay.
'currently' becomes 'now' (right now).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'now'+'in'='NO-WIN'

(Other definitions for no win that I've seen before include "bound to fail" , "Leading to certain failure" , "unpromising situation" , "Not a situation team enjoys" , "one loses in such a situation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
