Roberto De Zerbi was hesitant to put too much pressure on relegation-threatened Tottenham but acknowledged they "can't forget we need a win" when they travel to Wolves.
Burnley and Wolves have already been relegated from the Premier League, but the fight to avoid the drop alongside them rages on, with Spurs currently in the hot seat.
Spurs sit 18th in the table, currently two points from safety, with only five games remaining to turn their season around.
They have not won in the Premier League since the turn of the year (D6 L9) and missed out on a valuable three points last weekend when they conceded a late equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Brighton.
"I don't want to put too much pressure, but we have to know the situation," De Zerbi said.
"We can't forget the table. We can't forget we need a win. We can't forget maybe what we have done until now, not maybe, for sure, what we have done until now is not enough.
"Anyway, if we win in Wolverhampton, it is not finished yet. There are other four games, but I think now we deserve to win a game.
"Also with Brighton, I knew before the game it is one of the best teams in the Premier League in this moment. After their game against Chelsea, everyone knows. We played a good game and deserved to win."

As mentioned, Wolves' fate for next season has already been confirmed as they remain rooted to the foot of the table with 17 points to their name.
They can still avoid going down in 20th, if they can leapfrog Burnley, but Rob Edwards' main aim for the remaining games is to generate some positive momentum ahead of next season for Wolves.
"[Relegation is] tough to take, but we knew where we were. We were marooned at the bottom of the league. We don't like it," Edwards said.
"We have been able to make some improvements, and we want to take positive momentum into the new season, so we want to do that [from] tomorrow.
"We want to try and finish as strongly as possible. We have got to guarantee our performance levels are high."
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Wolves – Ladislav Krejci
Wolves have failed to score in 17 Premier League matches this season, last failing to score in more games in a league season in 2000-01 (19).
They drew a blank last time out against Leeds United, with Ladislav Krejci one of their biggest attacking threat, as he got both of Wolves' shots on target and had four touches in the opposition box, a joint-team high.

Tottenham – Xavi Simons
Xavi Simons has been involved in four goals in his last two starts in all competitions for Spurs (three goals, one assist).
All five of his goals for the club have come at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, however – he has had 20 shots away from home without success.
MATCH PREDICTION: DRAW
Wolves are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games against Spurs (W4 D2), with their four wins in that time just one fewer than they had in their first 17 against them in the competition (W5 D3 L9).
And Tottenham have lost their last three away league games against Wolves, as many as they had in their previous 16 visits to Molineux (W10 D3).
Spurs also remain winless in all 15 of their Premier League games in 2026 (D6 L9), now just one short of their all-time longest such run in league competition of 16 matches from December 1934 to April 1935.
Wolves have lost their last two Premier League games, 4-0 to West Ham and 3-0 to Leeds. They have not lost three league matches in a row by at least three goals since November 2014 in the Championship.
These are two sides out of form, too. In the last two seasons, the two ever-present teams with the fewest Premier League points are Wolves (59) and Spurs (69), while the two sides with the most defeats are Wolves (42) and Spurs (38).
