Wolves defender Stephen Ward has labeled Sudnay's Black Country derby with West Bromwich Albion as a must-win.
The Wolverhampton club sit 19th on the Premier League table and are in desperate need of points in the final three matches otherwise they will be back in the Championship next term.
The clash with the Baggies at the Molineux has emerged as a vital one for Mick McCarthy's men and Ward is well aware of its magnitude.
"At this stage of the season, with three games to go, we have to look at every game as a must-win," he said.
"People are saying that Sunday (against Birmingham) was a must-win, but we have to take a point and move on.
"Because it is so tight a point might keep you in there, but three points would be invaluable and that's what we'll be looking to get."
