Wolves boss Mick McCarthy knows his side's fans need a boost in the midst of a relegation battle, and he has his hopes pinned on a derby day victory to put smiles on their faces.
The Molineux outfit are second bottom of the Premier League and on a run of ten defeats in their last 13 matches. It seems highly likely that Wolves fans are preparing for a long relegation battle given the fact their side have been struggling to both keep clean sheets and score goals - it is 22 games since Wolves kept the opposition out. Anyone looking to bet on Premier League weekend games should remember this.
McCarthy, who saw his side go down 3-0 to Blackburn Rovers last time out, is preparing his team for the visit of second city rivals Birmingham City on Sunday and he wants this game to be the one his side show they are still willing to fight for their survival.
The fans could worry as their boss has never managed a win over Birmingham in six attempts, but McCarthy knows taking all three points this weekend could be the catalyst to inspire an improved run of form that could pull Wolves out of the Premier League relegation dogfight.
"It's a bit more than three points now isn't it?" he said.
"I'd settle for three points out of any game at the moment, but because of local pride and bragging rights, we need to get the points at home."
The weekend Premier League betting suggests Wolves are in for a tough time, and they will have to find something from somewhere if they are to grab a much needed win.
The manager has added that he would be happy if his team started to "win ugly" in their coming games. Whether wins come in a pretty manner or otherwise should be irrelevant at the moment to Wolves fans, no matter how the points arrive they are desperately needed if the club are to avoid relegation this campaign.
