Wolves boss Gary O'Neil expects a "tough test" against Manchester United.
O'Neil isn't taking anything for granted hosting United tonight.
He said: I want the players to have a realistic view on where we are. Their focus should be, and will be purely, on winning the next game. Of course, the more games you win, the more you can start to look upwards. If we lose tomorrow and the teams down the bottom win, we get closer to the bottom, so there's still a need for realism and how quickly things can change.
We need to be driven by trying to be successful and a fear of failure. I was always that way as a player, where I didn't want to fail, and I want the lads to feel that. It can really drive energy and make you focus. It's important that we have a real understanding. We're in a middle spot at the moment, not too far away from either, and we need to knuckle down and keep pushing."
O'Neil continued: Manchester City started it, being able to beat them at home gave us a real good moment in front of our own fans. The Spurs game, two late goals on the back of a really good performance, it would have been a very different feeling if we'd lost that 1-0, we'd have had to speak about how unlucky we were. Maybe those two moments are the ones which stick in my mind, but it's the consistency with what we're trying to do, and the energy the boys put in.
Even the games which haven't felt as fluid, the fans have stuck by them against Burnley and Nottingham Forest, we still had the full backing. They understand maybe we're having a bit of an off day, but the lads have given everything so far, so let's stick with them and try and get them over the line, and you could feel that. We'll need it, we're unbeaten in eight, but Manchester United is going to be an extremely tough test, whether we're unbeaten in eight or we've lost the last eight, the next home game against Manchester United is always going to be a tough one."
