Wolves up for titanic battle

Here's an article sent to me by Will.

Wolves need to work incredibly hard if they want to pull themselves clear of the Premier League bottom three as they have one hell of a month ahead of them.
Mick McCarthy's men ended a run of four successive defeats last weekend, but even then they only scraped a draw against the team at the bottom of the table, and West Ham could have got a winner as their forwards wasted chances and had a goal controversially ruled out near the end.
It looks increasingly likely that Wolves could be marooned in the Premier League relegation places in the coming weeks. They face Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal in their next four games - and given their recent form the Premier League betting suggests Wolves face a monumental task.
McCarthy has called for his men to "be ready" for what the teams fighting for Premier League title will throw at them. But one of his players thinks it is not out of the realms of possibility that Wolves could create a stir and take points off the big teams.
Striker Kevin Doyle claims the club "should have got something" in the matches at Molineux against Chelsea and Manchester United last season, so they have no need the opposition in the coming month.
"We definitely improved against the bigger teams as the season went on," he said.
"We've got a run of games against some of the best players in the world. It's exciting for us and if we can get something from the games, it will be a bonus."
All four sides are Premier League tips for the title, but the pressure will be off Wolves and that may help their chances.
McCarthy himself said he was not scared of the coming run of games, issuing a rallying cry for his players to "get something" off their more illustrious rivals. That does seem unlikely however and many fans could fear if the club are adrift in the Premier League relegation battle in a month's time.
