Barring a miracle, Wolves is heading down to the EFL Championship. In 28 contests, the club has won just one match. A true embarrassment of a season for a side that has managed to be competitive over the years. Entering Friday, Wolverhampton sits in 20th place, 17 points back of Nottingham Forest for 17th, the first spot above the bottom three.

Wolves are running out of time to make their great escape from the Premier League's bottom three, and Aston Villa hope to pile woe on their Midlands derby rivals come Friday at the Molineux.

League leader Arsenal could open up a seven-point lead at the top of the English Premier League on Wednesday as it travels to Molineux to face a Wolves team that already appears to be preparing for life in the Championship.

Wolves' results have improved but not their fortunes, and they're running out of time to make a great escape as Crystal Palace host the 20th-place side at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
