The Wolves manager, Julen Lopetegui, has encouraged his squad to perform well in the final moments on Saturday against Everton in front of a home crowd at Molineux.

With three games remaining, Lopetegui has guided the team to Premier League safety after they had won four straight home games without conceding.

The Wolves manager has urged his team to continue their winning streak in their final home game of the year.

"In this part of the season, fortunately, we achieved our first aim, our most important aim, and a very difficult aim, that is to be out of the relegation battle three matches from the end of the season," Lopetegui said at a pre-game press conference.

We naturally desire more, so we must approach the game on Saturday with an eye on the challenge and an opportunity to perform admirably in front of our supporters.

"throughout the respect of the league and the other teams, we want to be able to compete throughout the remainder of the season. The same standard is demanded of us as it would be of other teams if we were still trying to avoid being demoted.

Even though Wolves are no longer in danger of going down, Saturday's visitors Everton are still very much in the mix, currently sitting in 17th place.

Additionally, Lopetegui won't let the Wolves relax this weekend.

"We have worked hard this week," he added. "Saturday is obviously the last game in front of our fans, so it's obviously important for us.""They have had one pretty clear way in the past two or three months and they demonstrated they have very excellent players and are a very strong club. In the same way, we know we have one very good opponent with very good players, a good coach.They have obviously demonstrated their quality in the most recent game against Brighton that they are striving to remain in the Premier League.
