Fulham preview: Worrying run
Fulham are gradually getting sucked into the danger zone having lost their last four Premier League games, the latest seeing them concede in injury-time to lose 2-1 against Newcastle at St James' Park last Saturday.
They will have an opportunity to exact revenge over the Magpies in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup in December though, having edged past Wycombe on penalties midweek after their round of 16 clash had ended 1-1.
Wolves preview: Down in the dumps
Things are getting a little desperate now for Wolves, who lost 2-3 at home to promoted side Burnley last Sunday, conceding in the 95h minute having initially tied the game from two goals down.
They remain the only team in the division yet to register a win this season, while they were also eliminated in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, losing 3-4 in a seven-goal thriller with Chelsea at Molineux.
Fulham team news: Recouping players
Joachim Andersen is available according to Marco Silva, while Samuel Chukwueze, Harry Willson and Emile Smith Rowe are all in contention.
Wilson might be required to play up front should Raul Jimenez fail to recover from a recent issue, while fellow striker Rodrigo Muniz is nearing a comeback. Antonee Robinson is the only definite absentee.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Lukic, Berge; Traore, King, Iwobi; Jimenez
Unavailable: Robinson (Injured)
Questionable: Chukwueze (Injured), WIlson (Injured), Smith Rowe (Injured), Muniz (Injured), Jimenez (Injured)
Wolves team news: Three players out
Matt Doherty and Rodrigo Gomes will play no part in this fixture after both players sustained injuries against Chelsea midweek, with Vitor Pereira unsure at present how long the pair will be out.
They join long-term absentee Leon Chiwome, who is recovering from an ACL injury sustained back in January.
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Johnstone; Hoever, S. Bueno, Krejci, H. Bueno; Munetsi, Andre, Bellegarde; Arias, Strand Larsen, Hwang
Unavailable: Doherty (Injured), R. Gomes, Chiwome (Injured)

Fulham vs Wolves prediction
Fulham manager Marco Silva will be a little concerned by the his side's losing run in the Premier League, but he will view this fixture against basement-dwellers Wolves as an ideal one in which to get back on the right track.
You might say the same for Wolves though, who are in even more dire need of points having put just two on the board in their opening nine league games of the season.
Both sides will be desperate to win this one, which could lead to a fairly open encounter. Neither defence has been particularly convincing so both teams getting on the scoresheet at Craven Cottage is therefore the prediction.
Fulham vs Wolves tip: Both teams to score
