McCarthy braced for tough run
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy says the pressure is on to pick up points from a daunting run of fixtures starting with Saturday's visit to Chelsea.[LNB] The midlands club, who are in the bottom three of the Premier League, have to face the Blues, Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal in their next four games.[LNB]Wolves ended a run of four successive defeats by drawing at home to West Ham last weekend.[LNB]But McCarthy knows the importance of his side gaining some tangible reward from the next four outings.[LNB]He said: "There isn't as much pressure on this game as there was in the West Ham one.[LNB]"Chelsea are the best team in the league and they've carved most teams up.[LNB]"They can be pretty awesome when they get going so we've got to go there and be ready for it.[LNB]"But there is pressure on the next four games to get something.[LNB]"Who is to say though that it's set in stone that the top four sides will win all their matches?"[LNB]McCarthy has confirmed he will play with only one striker at Stamford Bridge and Kevin Doyle believes Wolves can take heart from last season's performances against the leading clubs.[LNB]He said: "Against Arsenal away and Chelsea and Manchester United at home, we definitely should have got something out of those games.[LNB]"We definitely improved against the bigger teams as the season went on.[LNB]"We've got a run of games against some of the best players in the world. It's exciting for us and if we can get something from the games, it will be a bonus."
