Fulham have won only two of their last 18 meetings with Wolverhampton Wanderers, but did beat Wolves 3-2 in a Monday night thriller at Craven Cottage a year ago, now targeting back-to-back home wins over them for the first time since 2012.
Fulham vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview
Can Fulham continue their excellent start to the season? Prior to the international break, Marco Silva's side claimed back-to-back victories, first fighting back to beat local rivals Brentford 2-1 at home, with Harry Wilson spectacularly equalising in the 92nd minute, before also heading home the winner in the seventh minute of added time, sparking wild scenes of jubilation.
Five days later, the Cottagers backed this up with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace; Emile Smith Rowe breaking the deadlock at Selhurst, before Wilson was on target again, rubber stamping the points. This leaves the Whites all the way up in seventh, which would represent the club's joint-highest top-flight finish of all-time, now targeting three consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since January 2023.
Wolverhampton Wanderers meanwhile picked up their very first victory of the campaign last time out, beating fellow-bottom two dwellers Southampton 2-0 at Molineux. Pablo Sarabia broke the deadlock inside the opening 100 seconds, before Matheus Cunha's rocket settled any nerves. Before this, Gary O'Neil's team had earned back-to-back 2-2 draws, fighting back to earn a share of the spoils against both Brighton and Crystal Palace, although Wolves do remain second-bottom, two points from safety. So, can the Old Gold secure consecutive wins for the first time since February?

Fulham Team News
Saša Lukić remains sidelined due to a shoulder injury, meaning Sander Berge will continue at the base of midfield. Further forward, Reiss Nelson has started the last two matches, having seemingly superseded Adama Traoré in the pecking order, but following his exploits against both Brentford and Crystal Palace off the bench, could Harry Wilson come into the team this time?
Fulham predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira, Wilson, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jiménez.
Fulham Player to Watch vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Raúl Jiménez will always be a Wolves legend, having scored 57 goals in 166 appearances for the Old Gold. Now up against them, can he add to his five goals already this season?
Wolverhampton Wanderers Team News
Yerson Mosquera, Bastien Meupiyou, Boubacar Traoré and Saša Kalajdžić are all sidelined long-term, while Hwang Hee-chan is also a major doubt, having suffered an ankle ligament injury during the October international break. José Sá is set to start a fifth successive match in goal, having regained the place he'd previously lost to summer signing Sam Johnstone. Gary O'Neil is expected to stick with the back three deployed against Southampton, featuring Jørgen Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha leading the attack. Toti, Nélson Semedo, Rayan Aït-Nouri and João Gomes would all miss next weekend's clash with Bournemouth if booked.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Fulham: (3-4-3): José Sá; S Bueno, Toti, Dawson; Semedo, João Gomes, Lemina, Aït-Nouri; Sarabia, Strand Larsen; Cunha.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Players to Watch vs Fulham
Matheus Cunha bagged his fifth goal of the season last time out, while the Brazilian was also on target, admittedly in defeat, at Craven Cottage a year ago, so can he repeat the feat?
Fulham vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
We're forecasting a routine Fulham win. The Cottagers have been very strong at home and, while Wolves are enjoying a three-match unbeaten run, we can see the visitors departing West London with anything here: Fulham 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers.
