Wolves predicted XI vs Fulham as Vitor Pereira expected to hand in-form 26-year-old 13th league start

Wolves will take on Fulham in the Premier League’s next instalment. Despite being seven positions below Tuesday’s opponents, the Old Gold come into the matchup in better form.

Wolves beat Bournemouth last time out to claim a huge three points in the race for survival.

Fulham, on the other hand, fell to a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Crystal Palace, leaving Marco Silva’s hopes of European football next season in the balance.

The two teams will meet at Molineux in a match that will see Vitor Pereira aim to make it three wins from his last four league matches.

Wolves team and injury news ahead of Fulham

Not only did Wolves leave the south coast with all three points, but they did it without picking up any more injuries.

As things stand, Pereira will be without nine first-team players for the side’s upcoming home tie against the Cottagers.

Sasa Kalajdzic (ACL), Yerson Mosquera (ACL), Leon Chiwome (ACL) and Enso Gonzalez (ACL) are all long-term absentees.

Rodrigo Gomes (pelvis), Sam Johnstone (unknown), Emmanuel Agbadou (unknown), Goncalo Guedes (knee) and Hwang Hee-chan (hamstring) will all also be absent.

Wolves predicted lineup vs Fulham

Consequently, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Wolves manager stick with the same Wolves starting 11 he named against Bournemouth.

Jorgen Strand Larsen made his return against Bournemouth. The Norwegian striker was introduced at halftime after Joao Gomes was walking a tightrope following a needless yellow card.

Although Strand Larsen will be expecting to feature on Tuesday, he’s more likely to come off the bench again, and that could pave the way for Marshall Munetsi to start the game in an advanced role with Matheus Cunha and the in-form Jean-Ricner Bellegarde just in behind. If Bellegarde lines up against Fulham on Tuesday, it would be his 13th league start of the season.

Nasser Djiga made his Wolves debut but is unlikely to make his first full start at the expense of others.

The rest of the starting lineup picks itself…

Fans should expect to see an unchanged back five with Jose Sa keeping his place in goal.

Joao Gomes and Andre will start in the heart of Wolves’ midfield with Munetsi likely to drop deeper later on in the game.

Tuesday’s matchup between Wolves vs Fulham is scheduled to kick off at 7.30 p.m. GMT and will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 4 and Discovery+.
