When could Wolves face the drop?
After Wolves’ 4-0 defeat at West Ham, they now face the possibility of being relegated this weekend.
Although the chance of survival was incredibly slim, some were dreaming of a great escape before the defeat to the Hammers.
But that damaging loss has all but ended Wolves’ chances of pulling off a miracle and if results go against them in the next round of fixtures, Wolves could officially go down.
Wolves travel to face Leeds for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday and if they were to lose at Elland Road, they would no longer be able to catch either Nottingham Forest or Leeds, and relegation could be confirmed by results elsewhere.
It could be made official later on Saturday evening, as Spurs host Brighton in the 5.30pm kick-off.
A Spurs win would put them on 33 points, 16 clear of Wolves with just 15 points left to play for in the remaining five games.
If Wolves lost but Spurs also did not win, Rob Edwards’ side could still be relegated on Monday evening when West Ham travel to face Crystal Palace.
The Hammers would only need to get a point at Selhurst Park to put them on 33 points and relegate Wolves.
If Wolves got a point against Leeds, taking them to 18 points, they would still be relegated if West Ham won.
However, regardless of results, a Wolves win means they cannot be officially relegated this weekend.
That would take them to 20 points and even with a West Ham win they would be 15 points away with 15 points to play for.
