Brian Laws admits the Clarets could not have a bigger incentive to chalk up another Turf Moor triumph tomorrow.
Burnley take on Wolves knowing that a seventh home win of the season will take them above the Midlanders and out of the Barclays Premier League relegation zone.
The two teams are currently locked together on 24 points with only goal difference giving Wolves the edge.
"The one thing that we know quite clearly is that if we win the game we go above them and that's the incentive," said Laws.
"It will take us out the bottom three - guaranteed. So we know what's at stake and we know what's available to us if we achieve the win.
"Likewise Mick McCarthy will be saying the same thing to his team and they will come here not to get beat. They know if we win we go above them.
"They have got a pressure on them and we are chasing them. We want to catch them and we want to overtake them, that's our incentive.
"We are at home and why shouldn't we feel like that at home?"
Like most clubs at the bottom end of the table, the Clarets have not found winning easy in recent times.
But an uplifting mid-week comeback against Stoke City suggested that another victory is just round the corner.
And Laws wants a repeat against Wolves to edge closer to safety.

The Clarets hope to be celebrating again tomorrow
"If we show the second-half performance we did against Stoke we will be very confident we can go and win it.
"If we go in with the same habit as the first half we will have a difficult game on our hands," added the Burnley boss.
"The fact is we have got a golden opportunity to go and accelerate.
"We've got that point under our belts. Can we savour that and improve and get three points on Saturday?
"If we can get three points we will have taken four out of six and then you go above teams and that will put huge pressure on other clubs."
The Wolves' clash is the second of four home fixtures for the Clarets in a crucial five-game run.
And Laws repeated his message that the supporters, who produced a fantastic back-drop to the comeback against Stoke, will again have a key role to play.
"When we give them something to shout about, do they shout, and that's great to see," he said.
"It gives the players that extra yard and an extra boost and you can see their spirits lifted just by that.
"It just shows how crucial the support we have can be between now and the end of the season."
