For the first time since before Christmas, just three points will separate the teams in 17th and 18th at the end of a Premier League weekend.
West Ham's 2-0 victory at Burnley has at last dragged them to within touching distance of Nottingham Forest again, with the Hammers enjoying a mid-season renaissance by winning three of their past four matches.
While Wolves are not mathematically down yet, they are propping up the table on a meagre eight points from 25 matches and sports analytics and data experts Opta rank their chances of relegation as 99.99%.
That also effectively means the West Midlands club are in a scrap to avoid the unwanted record of winning the fewest points in a single Premier League campaign, currently held by Derby, who managed just 11 in 2007-08.
Meanwhile, Burnley's loss to the Hammers means there is a 99.4% chance they will spend next term in the second tier of English football.
Hammers boss Nuno said his side "are still in the same situation" and called on them to "focus on" themselves after winning in Lancashire.
But are they?
Having gone 10 Premier League matches without a win, West Ham appear to have built some momentum from Callum Wilson's dramatic late goal at Tottenham on 17 January.
And they will feel they can tackle their remaining 13 games with renewed optimism despite being ranked with a 75.77% chance of going down, with Nuno also having the experience of guiding Nottingham Forest to safety on the final day of the 2023-24 campaign.
"West Ham look more like a Nuno team over the last few weeks," said former Liverpool and England midfielder Danny Murphy, who is a pundit on Saturday’s Match of the Day.
"They have won three out of four and have all the momentum. Crysencio Summerville is playing out of his skin and Jarrod Bowen is always going to chip in, plus they've signed two strikers.
"All of a sudden they look like a team that can score goals and that means you don't have to rely so heavily on keeping them out the other end.
"However, you'd always rather have the points in the bag than doing the chasing as you can't have many slip-ups – you have to keep on getting points."
