It’s been a long time since Fulham was viewed as a challenger for the European places in the Premier League, with just four top-half finishes on their CV while only once reaching as high as seventh in the table.
But that could all be about to change in 2022-23 under popular manager Marco Silva this season as the Cottagers find themselves in the race for Europa League football and beyond after their win against Brighton last weekend that saw them leapfrog Roberto De Zerbi’s Seagulls and are now within striking distance of fourth-sitting Newcastle United who is just four points ahead. Despite Wolves being in better shape under Julen Lopetegui, Silva will view proceedings in the capital as a much-win clash that will increase the club’s chances of securing European football next season.

- Out: Tom Cairney, Neeskens Kebano
- Doubt: Aleksandar Mitrović
Marco Silva will be hopeful of regaining Serbian star Aleksandar Mitrović and his ability to expertly lead the line for Fulham at Craven Cottage, but the veteran target man is currently listed as a doubt for selection after missing out on the win over Brighton on Saturday.
Midfielder Tom Cairney and winger Neeskens Kebano are both unavailable, with Cairney now laid up in dry dock while Kebano remains on the treatment table due to an ongoing Achilles problem.
