Can Wolves get relegated this weekend?
Wolves could be relegated this weekend after their damaging 4-0 defeat at West Ham left them on the brink of the drop.
The Old Gold travel to Leeds on Saturday for a 3pm kick-off, and a bad result there could leave them with no way back in the Premier League.
While Wolves are still technically alive, their fate now depends on both their own result and what happens elsewhere.
What Wolves need to avoid
If Wolves lose at Leeds, they would no longer be able to catch either Leeds or Nottingham Forest.
That would open the door for relegation to be confirmed later in the day, depending on results elsewhere.
How Wolves could be relegated on Saturday
Wolves could go down as early as Saturday evening if Tottenham beat Brighton in the 5.30pm kick-off.
A Spurs win would move them to 33 points, leaving Wolves 16 points behind with only 15 points left to play for in their final five matches.
That would make relegation official.
How Wolves could be relegated on Monday
If Wolves lose to Leeds but Spurs do not win, then relegation could still be confirmed on Monday night.
West Ham face Crystal Palace, and the Hammers would only need a point at Selhurst Park to move to 33 points and send Wolves down.
What if Wolves draw with Leeds?
A draw would take Wolves to 18 points, but that still would not guarantee safety.
They could still be relegated if West Ham beat Crystal Palace.
So even a point may not be enough to keep their survival hopes alive.
What if Wolves win?
A Wolves win would keep them up for now.
If they beat Leeds, they cannot be officially relegated this weekend.
That would take them to 20 points, which would still leave them 15 points behind with 15 points left to play for.
The simple version
Here is the short version:
Wolves lose to Leeds: relegation is possible this weekend
Wolves draw with Leeds: relegation is still possible
Wolves win at Leeds: Wolves cannot be relegated this weekend
Wolves face a huge weekend
After a poor run of form and a heavy defeat at West Ham, Wolves are now staring at the Championship.
A result at Leeds could decide whether their Premier League fate is settled this weekend or delayed a little longer.
