Fulham take on Wolves in the Monday night football clash for this gameweek. The Cottagers are down near the bottom of the table though they have a decent cushion on the relegation zone. Still, four Premier League matches without a win has seem their progress stall over recent weeks and boss Marco Silva will see tonight’s match as one his team can win.
Wolves though will be buoyed on by their 2-1 victory over Tottenham just before the international break. Two stoppage time goals, from Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina, saw them overturn a one-goal deficit to claim all three points and shoot up to 12th in the table. Gary O’Neil will be impressing on his team the need to back up that performance which could make for an interesting match-up against Fulham tonight.
Both teams are missing key personnel with Palhinha sitting out the match for the home side and Wolves starting their first game of the season without the suspended Craig Dawson. Which way will this one go?
