Dean Saunders is under pressure to keep Wolves out of the Championship relegation zone
City beat Middlesbrough 2-0 to move off the foot of the table at the weekend and they go into this week’s big game level on points with fourth-from-bottom Wolves.
Beaten 3-1 at Nottingham Forest last time out, Wolves have won only two of their last 14 games and are in real danger of suffering a second successive relegation.

Only goal difference is keeping Wolves out of the drop zone – they are two better off than the Robins – with nine games left and manager Saunders is feeling the pressure.
Eager to accentuate the positives, he told the Express and Star newspaper: “We’re not in the relegation zone and have to go into the Bristol City game thinking we can do them some damage.
“I’m sure we can take some positives from Saturday’s game. For long periods we were probably the better team.
“We could have drew or won, but there are fine margins, and we have got to make sure we’re up and ready for Bristol City.”
Saturday’s defeat was Wolves’ heaviest under Saunders but the manager is convinced they were hard done by.
“The score-line didn’t reflect the game – we just didn’t take our chances,” complained Saunders.
Wolves will be without Stephen Ward for Saturday’s game after the defender was shown a straight red card for hauling down Forest’s Greg Halford at The City Ground.

“Saunders is a dead man walking anyway - Wolves have more than matched us with their recent manager appointment record...”

“Calm down, play the game not the occasion and we'll be fine.
The AG game is an irrelevance, Wolves have as many points as we do and the GD ic close.They also have a harder run and they haven't picked up 3 points out of the last 18 at home because they're brilliant.
Respect them but show no fear.”

Really, I completely hope that the mighty reds undo you. And your precious Wolves are sent packing into the relegation zone...

“difficult to predict what's going to happen saturday, a draw would be a cracking result for us but whatever happens, we're not the push-overs we were at Ashton Gate!”
