“We’ve done a great job so far this season,” Lyon said. “But I must underline the fact that we’re just taking things one meeting at a time.

“If we can win at Wolves then of course we can finish top, but it’s really not crucial because we have to have the belief that we can beat anybody over two legs.

“It’s not about Monday night, it’s about what we do over two legs in the play-offs, but of course we’ll go to Wolves and give it our all as we always do.

“But we’re pretty relaxed about it. There’s no pressure on our shoulders and we’ll go there and enjoy it.”
