Nelson Semedo urged his Wolves teammates to continue to insist on the remaining five games of the season after securing Premier League Survival in Old Trafford last Sunday.
The stunning free kick by Pablo Sarabia saw Wolves win 1-0 and completed a competition double about Manchester United for the first time since the 1979-80 campaign.
Since the first match of Vitor Pereira, only Liverpool (43), Arsenal (33), Newcastle United (33) and Manchester City (31) have won more Premier League points than Wolves (29).
“It is clear that we are relieved, but we want more, as we have shown today, as we have shown the last few games,” Semedo said.
“We have won five games in a row and we want to strive for more. Next game, I just want to tell the supporters to keep coming, to keep showing the love they show us.
“It was great. It was surprising what we have done in recent months, and now we are safe. But we have left a month left and it was not done for us.
“We have to keep looking in the table, we have to show ambition, show the passion we have shown since Vitor has arrived because we can still achieve some good things.”

– Wolves (@Wolves) April 23, 2025
The opponents of Wolves are Leicester City this weekend, whose relegation to the championship was confirmed after a 1-0 defeat against League Liverpool.
It has been a miserable season for the Foxes, although manager Ruud van Nistelrooy believes that the last two versions of his team have shown signs of promise for the future.
“It's difficult, it's a blow, but it's not something today,” Van Nistelrooy said shortly after the relegation of his team at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.
“It is something we thought it would come. We never gave it, we always kept fighting. If there is hope, we will continue to fight, but now it is over and that hurts.
“Like last week's performance against Brighton, this week against Liverpool, we have moved the mindset and the goals and the objectives to how we want to end the season.
“Those are the two versions after we have moved the mentality to shape the future. We have prepared ourselves for next season.”
Players to watch
Wolves – Matheus Cunha
In the run -up to the fixture in Molineux, the future of Wolves Talisman Cunha was a subject of conversation, with his striking displays that see him linked to a move.
The Brazilian has scored 14 Premier League goals this season-de only Wolves player with more in a single campaign is Raul Jimenez (17 in 2019-2020).
Leicester City – Jamie Vardy
Vardy described the season of Leicester as a total shame after their defeat against Liverpool, with the veteran striker in the hope of repairing some pride against wolves.
He has three goals and two assists in his 10 Premier League performances against Wolves, although his last strike against them came in a 1-0 win in 2020-21.
Match -Prepeling: Wolves win
Wolves have each won of their last five Premier League matches, with a longer run in the top flight between September and October 1970 (six).
And after a 3-0 victory in the inverted fixture, Wolves want to complete their first competition-dubbele about Leicester since the 1957-58 campaign.
In the meantime, Leicester has only won three of their last 19 from the league matches against Wolves (D7 L9), although a 4-0 victory was in their most recent visit in October 2022.
But the struggles of the Foxes have been to both ends of the field and this season do not score in a League-high 15 different Premier League matches, but only managed to do this more in the 2001-02 campaign (19).
This season they also kept only one clean sheet in the Premier League and have admitted in each of their last 26 games. It is their longest run without a competition -clean leaf since a series of 37 between February and December 1957.
Leicester admitted this period of 73 goals in the Premier League. It is their most in one competition season since 1994-95 (80), and most in a 20-team competition since 1914-15 (88).
