Relegation candidates Wolves and Portsmouth meet next weekend and Wanderers boss Mick McCarthy sees the clash as a pressure game.

"Portsmouth at home was always going to be a pressure game," he told the Express & Star.

"They haven't won for seven games - I wish they had.

"If we'd have won yesterday would it have lessened the pressure of the Portsmouth game? No chance.

"They played well against Everton but I won't be losing any sleep this week, no."
