Wolves will have to make Premier League history to avoid relegation. Rob Edwards' side have won their past two games - against Aston Villa and Liverpool - but, with eight games left, remain bottom, 12 points from safety with a vastly inferior goal difference. In 2004-05 neighbours West Brom became the first team in the Premier League era to survive after being bottom at Christmas. In 2014-15 Leicester won seven of their final nine games to go from bottom with eight games left to 15th - then stunned the world to win the title the following season. Wolves will need four wins to draw level with Nottingham Forest and West Ham in 17th and 18th respectively, while hoping their fellow strugglers do not pick up a point.
