Wolves will look to achieve back-to-back Premier League wins on Monday night as Gary O’Neil’s side travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham.
Before the international break, Wolves earned a brilliant 2-1 win over Spurs at Molineux.
O’Neil bringing on Pablo Sarabia was a masterstroke in changing the game late on.
With strugglers Fulham up next, the tie provides Wolves with a great opportunity to pull further away from the relegation zone.
Unfortunately for O’Neil, Pedro Neto will not make the game due to his injury.
However, these are five changes the manager could make to his line-up to help Wolves take all three points from the capital.
Hugo Bueno
After signing a new long-term contract during the break, Bueno deserves a slot in Monday’s starting XI.
The fullback had been out on the sidelines in recent weeks but is now available for selection.
The 21-year-old could help contribute to Wolves’ attacking threat against Fulham.
Marco Silva’s side haven’t had much luck in front of goal this season. The hosts have only scored 10 goals in 12 Premier League matches.
Therefore, playing someone like Hugo Bueno might be a risk worth taking if O’Neil plans to attack from the off.
Pablo Sarabia
After his performance against Spurs, is there anything else Sarabia could have done to get a start vs Fulham?
After coming off the bench, the Spaniard got a goal and an assist to completely turn the game on its head.
It was one of the best performances from a substitute in Wolves history and he certainly deserves a slot in the starting XI on Monday.
Sarabia also has a good history at Craven Cottage with the attacker scoring his first goal in Wolves colours against the capital side last season.
Tommy Doyle
The midfielder has made some great cameos off the bench in recent weeks.
His performances against Bournemouth was sublime while his appearance off the bench vs Spurs helped change the game.
Doyle always helps Wolves add a bit more attacking intent when he is on the pitch.
This could help the visitors out massively on Monday night as they look to break down a weak Fulham backline.
An early goal would do Wolves the world of good and Doyle starting from the off would certainly help achieve this.
Santiago Bueno
With Craig Dawson suspended for Monday’s game, this presents Bueno the perfect opportunity to work his way into the starting XI.
The Uruguayan international hasn’t had many chances since joining the club in the summer. His only appearance came in a 3-2 defeat to Ipswich in the Carabao Cup.
Bueno could now be given the chance to show fans how good he is on Monday by keeping Wolves’ first clean sheet since August.
Saša Kalajdžić
Wolves’ strikers haven’t had much luck in recent games.
Matheus Cunha has only found the back of the net twice this season, the same amount as the Austrian striker.
Starting Kalajdzic would offer Wolves a focal point up top from kick-off.
The 26-year-old’s hold-up play may also bring Hwang Hee-Chan into the game more. Wolves’ top scorer has gone missing in recent games due to Pedro Neto’s absence.
