Wolves vs Fulham Preview: Premier League Clash at Molineux

Wolves host Fulham at Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton, on 17 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 37. Wolves come in bottom of the table in 20th place on 18 points, with a goal difference of -41. Fulham sit 11th with 48 points and a goal difference of -6.

Wolves Availability

Wolves face significant selection issues, particularly in goal.

  • L. Chiwome (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
  • E. Gonzalez (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
  • S. Johnstone (Knock) is sidelined.
  • J. Sa (Ankle Injury) is sidelined.

The absences of both S. Johnstone and J. Sa leave Wolves relying on backup options in a must-win situation for their relegation battle.

Fulham Availability

Fulham also travel with notable absentees across the pitch.

  • J. Andersen (Red Card) is sidelined.
  • A. Iwobi (Injury) is sidelined.
  • R. Jimenez (Suspended) is sidelined.
  • R. Sessegnon (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined.

Defensive leader J. Andersen missing through suspension weakens the back line, while the bans and injuries to A. Iwobi and R. Jimenez strip depth and experience from Fulham’s attacking options.

Impact Summary

Wolves, already the league’s lowest scorers with 25 goals in 36 matches, lose attacking depth through L. Chiwome and E. Gonzalez. Fulham, with 44 goals, retain their primary creator and top scorer H. Wilson (10 goals, 6 assists), who is available, but the absence of R. Jimenez reduces their central striking threat and finishing options in the box.
