Having won at Molineux in February, Fulham are seeking back-to-back victories over Wolverhampton Wanderers for the first time since 2001. Wolves though have won five of their last nine league games at Craven Cottage, memorably 4-1 winners in West London 12 months ago.
Fulham vs Wolves preview
Two of the Premier League's bottom four go head-to-head on Saturday, making this a crucial clash for both. Fulham suffered a fourth successive Premier League defeat a week ago, beaten 2-1 by Newcastle; Saša Lukić equalising at St James' Park, only for the Magpies to pinch the points right at the death on Tyneside. Before this, Marco Silva's side had tasted defeats at the hands of Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Arsenal, only managing to beat Leeds and local rivals Brentford at home to date.
However, the Cottagers did have something to celebrate in mid-week, overcoming Wycombe Wanderers in the Carabao Cup. 1-0 down against the League One side, Josh King's second half equaliser ensured it ended 1-1 in Buckinghamshire. A mammoth penalty shootout followed, 14 spot-kicks taken at Adams Park, with Issa Diop lashing home the decisive kick. This is the fourth season on the spin Silva's side have reached a domestic cup quarter-final, but can they now address their Premier League form, seeking three points that would propel them away from danger?
Well, if Fulham supporters think their team are struggling, Wolverhampton Wanderers arrive in West London devoid of any belief or confidence. Vítor Pereira's team are still yet to win this season, yielding just two points from nine outings, suffering their most damaging defeat of the campaign last Sunday. 2-0 down at home to Burnley, the Molineux crowd turned mutinous, only for both Jørgen Strand Larsen and then Marshall Munetsi to score quick-fire goals on the cusp of half time. Nevertheless, as the Old Gold pushed for a winner, it was Burnley who snatched victory deep into injury time, which did not go down well, with Pereira and his players comforted by angry supporters at full time.
Wolves actually failed to win any of their first ten matches last season too, sat in the relegation zone as late as 25 January, but it required a change of manager to turn their fortunes around, while they had the buffer of the three promoted clubs being terrible, which is certainly no longer the case.
Unlike their hosts, Wolves did not progress in the EFL Cup this week, dumped out by Chelsea on Wednesday. When the Blues raced into a 3-0 lead by half time, it looked like being a procession, only for a goal from Tolu Arokodare, followed by a brace from David Møller Wolfe, to seemingly form part of a rousing comeback, but it was all in vain, ultimately beaten 4-3. Wolves are showing signs of life, but their Kamikaze defending is seriously going to cost them. So, a Fulham win at Craven Cottage appears the most likely outcome, one that could have drastic consequences for Pereira.

Raúl Jiménez made 166 appearances for Wolves, scoring 57 goals, considered one of the best strikers in the Premier League before suffering that horrific fractured skull in 2020. Since joining Fulham, the Mexican has never netted in three attempts against Wolves, so can he change that here?
