Wolverhampton Wanderers will be looking to equal a 55-year streak when they face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The West Midlands outfit have been a revelation since the arrival of Vitor Pereira in December, with the Portuguese moving the club to the brink of top-flight survival.
With seven matches remaining, Wolves hold a 12-point advantage over Ipswich Town in the Premier League table, Pereira's side also now just six points adrift of 13th-placed Manchester United who they play after Sunday's game.
As a result, the pressure has eased heading into the showdown with Spurs at Molineux, Wolves also trailing Spurs by only five points.
While victory at the weekend will be the solitary focus, the home side have the opportunity to equal a 55-year run.

What streak is up for grabs?
Wolves head into this encounter having put together a four-game unbeaten streak against their North London opponents, last earning a 2-2 draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their final fixture of 2024.
Should Wolves avoid defeat on Sunday, it will mark the first time since 1970 that they have put together a five-match streak without losing to Spurs in league contests.
Furthermore, Wolves are also attempting to win four successive top-flight fixtures for the first time since 1972 having recently overcome Southampton, West Ham United and Ipswich.
Jorgen Strand Larsen has netted in each of those victories and has the opportunity to become the first Wolves player since Henri Camara back in 2004 to net in four successive Premier League games.
Matheus Cunha will return from suspension having scored six times in eight appearances for club and country, yet Pereira has already revealed that the Brazil international will start on the substitutes' bench.

Contrasting records
A total of 11 games have passed by without Wolves being involved in a match that has featured more than three goals.
In sharp contrast, Spurs' 31 Premier League games have featured 103 strikes, the most involving any team in the division.
To their credit, Ange Postecoglou's side boast the second-best attacking record in the top flight, yet they only possess the 11th-best defensive return.
