Wolves are preparing for their relegation six-pointer in the Premier League as they host Southampton at Molineux.
For Gary O’Neil to potentially save his skin and Wolves to remain in the top flight come May, this game is a must-win.
The Wanderers find themselves rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table after the Saints leapfrogged them into 19th position with a 1-0 win over Everton last time out.

Chris Sutton and Paul Merson both think Wolves will beat Southampton to record their first win of the campaign, and that is an outcome supporters must see come full-time.
Ruben Neves spotted at Molineux ahead of Wolves vs Southampton
This huge match is catching the eye of many across the UK, including club legend Ruben Neves, who has been spotted at Molineux ahead of the match.
Wolves journalist Nathan Judah confirmed his appearance at the match via X this afternoon as he’s currently sidelined till January after undergoing surgery on a knee injury.
For everyone associated with the Old Gold, to see the Portuguese superstar present is a massive boost and knowing he’s watching in the crowd could spur the players on to victory.
Neves is regarded as a legend in Wolverhampton, after guiding the club through an incredible period of success under Nuno Espirito Santo.
The 27-year-old was part of the side that qualified for European football twice in a row following promotion back to the Premier League and was also known for his rocket of a strike.
Every single Wolves supporter wishes he was still playing in gold, however, he left the club to join Al-Hilal for £47 million last year following 253 appearances and 30 goals for the Wanderers.
Wolves fans react to Neves at Molineux
Despite leaving Molineux over a year ago, the Portuguese midfielder still loves the club.
Two weeks ago Neves responded to Wolves’ Instagram post after Matheus Cunha helped fire them back on level terms against Brighton.
And after hearing he was attending the game against the Saints, supporters have since offered their reaction, and they’re all unsurprisingly delighted.
“Oh my god! I am genuinely over excited about this. Positive vibes and a song to sing this afternoon,” one supporter said.
“Judah!!! Convince the man to come back full time!!!,” another replied.
“Hope he brought his boots!,” a third responded.
“We can’t lose with the king back in Wolverhampton,” a fifth added.
“The King has returned to his throne. Get him on the pitch,” another replied.
Just like the majority inside Molineux this afternoon, Neves will be hoping his return to the club is marked with an all-important victory.
