Fulham vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: Premier League Preview, Gameweek 10, 2025/26

It's crunch time for Wolves as an encounter in West London beckons. Vitor Pereira's side, currently rooted to the foot of the table, are in desperate need of a result as they remain winless in the Premier League this season.

They showed fight midweek in the EFL Cup despite being knocked out by Chelsea. Fans will be hoping they can replicate the second-half performance in that encounter from the first whistle against Fulham.

It's not been the best start either for Marco Silva's side. Not in as much trouble as their upcoming opponents, the Cottagers currently sit 17th in the Premier League table, three points safe from the relegation zone. They themselves will be desiring victory, as they look to open the gap to the bottom three.

Fulham

There has been a lot of positive news coming out of Craven Cottage regarding injuries. Fulham have been one of the most heavily impacted teams so far this season, but this looks set to change.

In his press conference, Marco Silva confirmed that the trio of Harry Wilson, Joachim Andersen and Emile Smith Rowe are all in contention for the encounter with Wolves.

Samuel Chukwueze is another who looks to be nearing a return after recovering from an issue sustained on international duty for Nigeria. Whether it will be this weekend is yet to be found out.

Raul Jimenez and Rodrigo Muniz remain doubts for the Cottagers and are undergoing late fitness tests to determine if they can play any part in this encounter.

Wolves

Throughout the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea, two Wolves players picked up knocks that could see them ruled out of action for the Fulham match.

The duo of Matt Doherty and Rodrigo Gomes will likely be forced to sit this one out, with the severity of their injuries being unknown at this current time.

Other than that, Wolves have a clean bill of health heading into a vital match in the club's bid for survival.

Predicted line-ups

Fulham

Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Lukic; Traore, King, Iwobi; Muniz

Wolves

Johnstone; Tchatchoua, S. Bueno, Krejci, H. Bueno; Munetsi, Andre, J. Gomes; Arias, Strand Larsen, Hwang

Key players

Fulham - Alex Iwobi

It's no secret that both of these sides are lacking confidence at the moment after a tough start to the season. In situations like this, teams require a difference maker. It feels like this is exactly what Iwobi can be for his side in this encounter.

The winger has popped up with some important goals during his time at Fulham, but arguably could be finding the back of the net more than he does.

What a time it would be for the 29-year-old to turn up with a crucial goal for his side in a game that could be defining for their season, potentially putting them six points clear of relegation depending on other results.

Wolves - Jørgen Strand Larsen

It is a similar story to Iwobi in the sense that he could certainly provide the big moment for his side. The Norwegian is Wolves' top scorer in all competitions, albeit not a difficult achievement so far this season.

The striker found the back of the net in last weekend's late defeat to Burnley at the Molineux and will be hoping to make it two consecutive games with a goal in West London this weekend.
