Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has warned his side not to worry about chasing records as they try to secure a fourth consecutive win.
Newcastle travel to Molineux on Monday, with in-form Wolves seventh in the Premier League having lost just three times in their last 14 matches.
Wolves have beaten Leicester, Everton and West Ham in their last three league games but have never won four consecutive Premier League games, something they will try to do against Newcastle.
"We're not here for the records, we're not here for that," Nuno told Wolves' official website.
"What we are here for is to improve, to work as a team, stay humble and work hard, trying to achieve the best performance that we can in every game.
"This is the mentality that we have. At Molineux on Monday against a tough team and we have to work very hard, improve things that we have to improve and back in Molineux with the support of our pack, we'll try it."
Wolves beat Newcastle 2-1 at St James' Park in December thanks to Matt Doherty's injury-time winner, a result which helped sparked their upturn in form.
Going into December on the back of a miserable run of just one point from six games, the Championship winners have since recorded seven victories from 11 league games - including wins over Chelsea and Tottenham - and have also beaten Liverpool on their way to the FA Cup fifth round.
"I love everything about football," added Nuno. "When we have these special last-minute goals that gives you so much, like Matt's did at Newcastle, it's very enjoyable.
"You can see by their last performances that Newcastle are very organised, very compact and with good players."
