Fulham will look to keep alive their slim European hopes as they travel to Molineux to take on already-relegated Wolves on Sunday afternoon.
Fulham have hit a bad run of form at the wrong time, as they fell to a 0-1 defeat at home to fellow European contenders Bournemouth last weekend.
Marco Silva’s men have now won just one of their last five (W1-D1-L3) and two of their previous Premier League matches (W2-D2-L4), leaving them in 11th position, five points behind seventh-placed Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Cottagers boast the fourth-worst away record in the division, picking up 16 points from a possible 48 (W4-D4-L10), winning just one of their last nine (W1-D3-L5).
That’s still 11 more points than Wolves have collected on their travels this season, with their 3-0 defeat at Brighton last weekend meaning they remain winless away from home this term.
However, Rob Edwards will take some confidence from the fact that his Championship-bound side have lost just one of their last five encounters in front of their supporters (W2-D2-L1).
How the bookies view it: Fulham favourites
Despite winning just one of their last nine away matches in the Premier League, Fulham are favourites to leave the West Midlands with all three points, with bet365 pricing an away success at 9/10.
Wolves are 14/5 to claim a third win at home from their last five matches, whilst the draw is also priced at 14/5 at bet365.
Head to head: Three wins on the spin for Fulham?
Fulham have been victorious in each of their last two Premier League meetings with Wolves, including a 3-0 win in West London in the reverse fixture at the beginning of November.
Players to watch: Another card for Sasa?
Sasa Lukic is known for picking up plenty of cards in his Fulham career, and this season has been no different, picking up nine yellow cards in 1647 minutes of action, averaging one every 183 minutes.
Three of those yellows have come across his last four appearances, and he looks good value at 11/5 at PaddyPower to pick up yet another card.
Predicted line-ups:
Wolves will be missing the injured Sam Johnstone, Leon Chiwome and Enso Gonzalez, whilst Jose Sa is a doubt.
Fulham are expected to be without the injured Ryan Sessegnon and Alex Iwobi, whilst Joachim Andersen is suspended following his red card against Bournemouth last weekend.
Wolverhampton Wanderers: Bentley, Mosquera, S. Bueno, Krejci, Lima, Andre, J. Gomes, H. Bueno, Mane, Armstrong, Hwang
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Diop, Bassey, Robinson, Lukic, Cairney, Wilson, Smith-Rowe, Chukwueze, Muniz
Anything else catch the eye?
Scoring goals have been an issue for Wolves all season and for Fulham over the past couple of months, so I’m not expecting a high-scoring encounter in the West Midlands on Sunday.
Fulham's last eight Premier League fixtures have averaged just 1.50 goals per game, with Under 2.5 Goals landing in six (75%) of them.
Three of Wolves’ last four Premier League clashes at home have featured fewer than three goals, and a repeat pays an appealing 23/20 at William Hill.
