Wolverhampton Wanderers are on a three-game losing streak in the Premier League as they welcome Watford to Molineux on Thursday night.
After efficiently working their way back into the race for a top-four berth, Wolves' form seems to have tailed off drastically over the past few weeks. They have looked vulnerable and have now conceded three back-to-back defeats in their last three outings.
Bruno Lage's men are currently eight points behind a top-four spot. They have looked toothless in attack and were below par in almost every category against Crystal Palace as they fell to a 2-0 loss this past weekend.
Wolves crumbled as the Eagles produced wave after wave of relentless pressure and they eventually broke. Unless there is a stark improvement over the next few weeks, their European dreams will more or less be over.
Meanwhile, Watford fought valiantly against Arsenal in their latest match but ultimately fell 3-2 to the Gunners. They are 19th in the Premier League table and are desperate for a win as they travel to take on a rattled Wolves side.
The Hornets have been dealt multiple injury blows which has made things difficult for them. However, they have done decently on the road in recent weeks. They have conceded just a single goal in their last four Premier League away games. Watford have also lost just one of their last five away games.
