It was a short news conference with Unai Emery despite Aston Villa aiming to streak clear of the chasing pack and strengthen their grip on third place in the Premier League.
Beat Wolves at Molineux on Friday - a place where Unai Emery has not won - and it would set up Wednesday's visit of Chelsea where Villa could deliver a knockout blow in the race for the top five.
They will go nine points above the fifth-placed Blues before Liam Rosenior's men go to Arsenal on Sunday with victory and keep Manchester United, currently three points behind, at bay.
Two victories would put Villa in an incredibly strong position, despite their recent faltering form, to return to the Champions League.
Emery, though, is wary of Wolves, having lost 3-1 with Arsenal in 2019 and been 3-0 down at half-time, to start his winless streak at Villa's neighbours.
The Spaniard has lost three times and drawn once at Molineux with Villa.
It is a stat which clearly irritates Emery but he will not have a better chance to end his wait at Molineux with Wolves bottom and heading for the Championship.
Emery brought it up unprompted, a sure sign of how much it bugs him, but victory on Friday could prove the foundations for sending Villa back to the Champions League.
