Form Guide and Team Overview
Wolves have had a mixed bag of results recently, with two wins and three losses in their last five league matches. Their recent victory against Bournemouth (1-0) will boost their confidence, but losses to Liverpool and Chelsea highlight their inconsistency.

Fulham have shown resilience with three wins in their last five league outings, including a notable away victory against Newcastle. However, their recent home defeat to Crystal Palace (0-2) suggests vulnerabilities.

- (H) Fulham 2-1 Nott'm Forest
- (A) Fulham 2-1 Newcastle

Wolves' strength lies in their attacking prowess, particularly through Matheus Cunha, while their defence has been shaky. Fulham's strength is their ability to grind out results, but they struggle against high-pressing teams.

Injury and Suspension Report
Wolves are dealing with several injuries, including Enso Gonzalez with a knee issue. Hwang Hee-chan's hamstring injury further limits their attacking options. Meanwhile defenders Emmanuel Agbadou and Yerson Mosquera are out through muscle and knee problems respectively. Midfielder Rodrigo Gomes is ruled out through a pelvic issue.
Fulham will miss Reiss Nelson (hamstring), Kenny Tete (knee), and Harry Wilson (foot), which could impact their wing play and defensive solidity.
Predicted Line-ups and Tactical Setup
Wolves (3-4-2-1): José Sá; Toti Gomes, Matt Doherty, Santiago Bueno; Rayan Aït-Nouri, João Gomes, André, Nélson Semedo; Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Pablo Sarabia; Matheus Cunha.
Fulham (4-2-3-1): Bernd Leno; Antonee Robinson, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, Timothy Castagne; Sander Berge, Sasa Lukic; Adama Traore, Emile Smith-Rowe, Alex Iwobi; Raúl Jiménez.
Wolves will likely focus on exploiting Fulham's defensive frailties with quick transitions, while Fulham might aim to control the midfield and use their pace on the wings.
Key Battles and Players to Watch
- Matheus Cunha vs. Calvin Bassey: Cunha's form will be crucial for Wolves, and Bassey will need to be at his best to contain him.
- João Gomes vs. Sasa Lukic: A midfield battle that could dictate the game's tempo.
- Raúl Jiménez vs. Toti Gomes: Jiménez's experience against his former club could be pivotal.
What to Expect and Match Prediction
