Will improving Wolves beat their lowest Premier League points tally?
[Getty Images] While the most optimistic fans still dream of what would surely be the greatest of great escapes, the likelihood is that Wolves will be playing in the Championship next season. Rob Edwards' side have taken seven points from their past three Premier League games and ending a disappointing season on a positive note will be high on the club's list of achievable goals. Chasing down and overhauling 19th-placed Burnley, who are three points ahead of them, will be another.
The two clubs are scheduled to meet at Turf Moor on the final day of the season. Another target will be getting past 25 points, Wolves' tally from the 2011-12 relegation season, which remains the club's lowest in a top-flight season during the Premier League era. And they remain without an away league win this season, an unwanted statistic that Dave Jones' side posted when Wolves went down in 2003-04.
As far as their remaining fixtures go, Wolves could not have asked for a much kinder run-in - they do not face any of the current top eight in their final seven matches, a sequence which starts at third-from-bottom West Ham on Friday.
