Wolverhampton Wanderers return to Molineux on Saturday afternoon as Gary O'Neil's side play host to Fulham in the Premier League.
The Old Gold will be eager to bounce back on home soil following a 3-0 thrashing on the road away at Newcastle United last time out. The defeat at St. James' Park broke up Wanderers' momentum but there's an opportunity to regain confidence this weekend.
Fulham are in good form and will be difficult to beat, however, as Marco Silva's men have won three of their last five, losing just once. The Cottagers beat Manchester United at Old Trafford two weeks ago and followed it up with an impressive 3-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
O'Neil is bound to show respect to Fulham and he'd probably select one of his strongest possible lineups if everyone were available. The reality is far from that, though, with several attackers sidelined. Including a decision for Pedro Neto following an injury concern last Saturday, here are the 11 players we predict will start against Fulham.
1. GK - Jose Sa
Sa was taken off with an injury concern away at Newcastle but O’Neil said afterwards he’s confident the goalkeeper will be fine to play against Fulham.
2. RWB - Nelson Semedo
Semedo has been terrific this season, both defensively and offensively. He was probably the best out of a bad back-line bunch at St. James’ Park.
3. CB - Max Kilman
The skipper was caught in possession a few times last time out and made a mistake for the Toon’s second goal. Nonetheless, he’ll be eager to bounce back.
4. CB - Craig Dawson
Dawson struggled to deal with Newcastle’s pace on Saturday but that shouldn’t be as much of an issue against Fulham. That’s unless Adama Traore starts, of course.
