[Trending News] Wolves confirmed XI vs Fulham: VP makes JSL decision & a surprise on the bench

Wolves are back in Premier League action tonight and it’s Fulham under the lights at Molineux.

Wolves are looking to pull further clear of the relegation zone, having opened up a five-point gap after beating Bournemouth.

Gary Lineker believes the current bottom three will now go down, but Wolves fans will continue to worry until survival is certain.

Tonight, Wolves take on a Fulham side who have impressed once again in the Premier League.

Marco Silva has done a great job, and still looking to get his side into the European places come the end of the season.

A win tonight for Wolves would be absolutely huge, and Vitor Pereira has just named the team that will start tonight’s game at Molineux.

Pereira said four Wolves players were injured ahead of this game with Fulham, those being Hwang Hee-chan, Goncalo Guedes, Rodrigo Gomes and Emmanuel Agbadou.

The manager has actually not made any changes to the side that started against Bournemouth.

Jose Sa keeps his place in goal, with a backline in front of him of Matt Doherty, Santiago Bueno and Toti Gomes.

Nelson Semedo and Rayan Ait-Nouri are the wing-backs.

In midfield, Andre and Joao Gomes start together once more.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Marshall Munetsi both keep their places in the starting XI.

Matheus Cunha starts of course, and there were some wondering if Jorgen Strand Larsen would come back in to start tonight, after coming off the bench against Bournemouth.

But the Norwegian has to contend with a place on the bench again, with Munetsi presumably operating high up through the middle again.

Pereira has also named youngster Mateus Mane on the bench for the very first time. Mane joined the club one year ago from AFC Rochdale, and has been impressing in the academy.

Wolves vs Fulham head-to-head record

Wanderers fans are optimistic about a win at Molineux tonight to keep the ball rolling, but how have these two teams fared over the years?

Wolves and Fulham have met 99 times so far, and it’s Wolves who have the edge in terms of wins.

Wolves have won 47 meetings, with Fulham winning on 27 occasions. There have been 25 draws.
