Wolves will face Fulham on Monday night in a game which has importance for both sides in the Premier League.
Gary O’Neil has had his Wolves side in excellent form over the past six games as they’ve risen up the table rapidly to now be sitting on 15 points.
Wolves have rid themselves of all preseason relegation predictions which were misjudged even then, thanks to O’Neil’s excellent work.
Last time out, Wolves came from behind to beat Spurs 2-1 with Pablo Sarabia stealing the headlines as he played a hand in both goals.
A win on Monday for Old Gold would see them move up to 10th – as of writing this – and 13 points above the relegation places and just four behind Newcastle in the Conference League spots.
Wolves predicted XI v Fulham
O’Neil will go strong here, given it is absolutely winnable, and he is blessed by a mainly available squad.
So here is the predicted XI to face Fulham…
Jose Sa
Sa will start, there will be little debate over that despite his name being circulated around a potential move to Saudi Arabia.
Nelson Semedo
Without a doubt one of the most important players in O’Neil’s system, Semedo is a guarantee.
Santiago Bueno
Bueno is in line to make his first Premier League start after his £8.5m move in the summer, with Craig Dawson missing the game through suspension.
Max Kilman
Club captain, Kilman will start anytime he is fit.
Toti Gomes
Starts in a bid to continue his great form, undroppable right now.
Rayan Ait-Nouri
Ait-Nouri was linked with Chelsea earlier this week which should tell us how good he’s been. Important player.
Joao Gomes
Gomes has been really solid this season, seems a shoo-in for O’Neil right now.
Mario Lemina
Probably Wolves’ most important player in Pedro Neto’s absence. Lemina has scored vital goals and been a leader, guaranteed to play.
Pablo Sarabia
O’Neil needs to reward Sarabia after he practically single handedly helped Wolves beat Spurs a fortnight ago, without changing the system, this is the best option. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde will be unlucky to miss out after looking good v Spurs.
Hee-Chan Hwang
Wolves’ top scorer, another one who’s inclusion requires zero introduction. Hopefully Hwang will be getting a new contract soon.
Matheus Cunha
The final inclusion is Cunha who slightly edges Sasa Kalajdzic for us and therefore starts here against Fulham.
