Wolves boss Mick McCarthy says their Premier League future could be decided in the coming weeks.

The Midlands club face Chelsea this weekend, but their manager has already earmarked home games against the Whites and local rivals Birmingham City as must-win ones.

“I think our Premier League future will be decided on those games and others against that bracket of clubs,” he said.

“If we go to Chelsea and get something, that would be brilliant, but it would be a real bonus because no-one thinks we’ll get anything there.

“Go to the bookies and look at the odds of us winning it or getting a draw.

“Our next two home games, Birmingham and Bolton, are the ones we have to win. It’s all right saying we need to get our teeth into them, but there will be a huge expectation and pressure on those games.”
