Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka believes that the pressure will be on Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich City as the Championship promotion race reaches its conclusion.
Boro go into tonight's game against Wolverhampton Wanderers sitting fourth in the table, two points adrift of the leaders and one point outside the automatic promotion places with four games remaining.
Karanka says that Boro cannot afford to make any more mistakes if they are to go up automatically.
"I think there is more pressure on the teams above," he told Gazette Live. "Now, we are fourth, so we are the team with less chance of going up than the teams above us.
"We have worked very well this season, and are enjoying the position we are in, and we know we can still get promotion at the end. But the pressure is on Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich because they are the teams at the top and they have better chances than us.
"Norwich play at home against us on Friday, so they will be favourites for that game. But, as I have said before, if we don't win against Wolves, then there is no point speaking about the other game."
Boro beat Rotherham United 2-0 in their last outing on Saturday.
