Fulham Preview: Positive run

Fulham put together a nice run before the international break to move into the top half of the table, picking up seven points from the last nine available, so Marco Silva will hope that the break in action has not dulled his team's momentum.

Super sub Harry Wilson has caught the eye in their wins over Brentford and Crystal Palace, scoring twice late on against the Bees and also finding the net against Seagulls last time out.

Wolves Preview: Turning a corner?

At the 11th time of asking, Wolves finally registered their first Premier League win of the season last time out, Matheus Cunha inspiring them to a 2-0 victory over fellow strugglers Southampton, and Gary O'Neil will be hoping his side can kick-on now.

There had been signs of improvement prior to that win to be fair, with O'Neil's men having fought well in a pair of 2-2 draws with Brighton and Crystal Palace.

Fulham Team News: Lukic back but Reed out

Sasa Lukic has recovered from the shoulder complaint that has kept him out since early October and should be in the squad, but fellow midfielder Harrison Reed needs surgery on a knee injury and is expected to be out for one to two months.

Harry Wilson, who also netted for Wales on recent international duty, is surely pushing for a start after his recent performances from the bench.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Pereira, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez

Unavailable: Reed (Injured)

Wolves Team News: Little given away

O'Neil played it coy when it came to the injury situation, but he did at least confirm that Santiago Bueno has largely recovered from a recent adductor problem and would be in the squad.

The Wolves boss switched to a 4-2-3-1 system to good effect last time out and will be tempted to repeat that approach, with Rayan Ait-Nouri occupying a more advanced position on the left wing.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Sa; Semedo, S. Bueno, Dawson, Toti; Lemina, Joao Gomes; Sarabia, Cunha, Ait-Nouri; Strand Larsen

Unavailable: Mosquera (Injured), Traore (Injured), Gonzalez (Injured), Kalajdzic (Injured)

Questionable: Meupiyou (Fitness), S. Bueno (Injured), Lima (Injured), Hwang (Fitness)

Fulham vs Wolves Prediction

It's been nearly three years since Fulham last won three top-flight games in succession, and a look at the Premier League table will tell you that they have an excellent chance of achieving just that when they take on one of the teams occupying the bottom three.

However, that doesn't tell the full story as Wolves were vastly improved before the international break, going three games unbeaten and scoring two goals in each of those matches. Assuming they play with the same intensity, they can give the Cottagers a game here and are more than capable of getting on the scoresheet again.
