With two wins, three draws and 10 defeats from 15 Premier League games, Gary O'Neil's side sit 19th in the division and only behind newly-promoted Ipswich on goal difference.
A run of three consecutive losses, in which they have conceded 10 goals, has piled the pressure on O'Neil as Wolves desperately seek some inspiration to drag themselves out of trouble.
Those three losses came following back-to-back wins over Southampton and Fulham, and with Ipswich and Leicester the next two opponents before Christmas, Wolves are in 'must-win' territory.
The club's hierarchy are sticking by O'Neil - after previously sounding out potential successors - but the head coach still cannot afford to lose to Kieran McKenna's side tomorrow if he has any realistic chance of taking this team forward.
