"Starting with the hosts, while Fulham might have extended on their EFL Cup adventure earlier in the week as they edged past League One outfit Wycombe thanks to a nail-biting penalty shootout victory, Marco Silva's men are enduring a real top-flight rut. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak away at Newcastle last weekend as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss at St. James' Park, the former Everton boss has seen his squad lose all of their previous four consecutive Premier League appearances."
"As for the visitors, dealing with a string of public issues both on and off the pitch, Wolves find themselves at the heart of a real nightmare. Putting in another woeful first-half performance earlier in the week as they watched their EFL Cup campaign come to an end thanks to a 4-3 defeat at home against Chelsea, it appears that the pressure on Vítor Pereira's shoulders has now reached a boiling point."
Fulham progressed in the EFL Cup by beating League One Wycombe on penalties but have lost four consecutive Premier League matches, with their last league win a 3-1 victory over Brentford on September 20. The side suffered a late defeat at Newcastle and a 1-0 loss to Arsenal on October 18, yet have won each of their other four home matches across competitions, suggesting Craven Cottage could offer a boost. Wolves exited the EFL Cup after a 4-3 home defeat to Chelsea, lost 3-2 to Burnley, began the post-international break with a 2-0 loss at Sunderland, and sit rock-bottom amid growing pressure on Vítor Pereira.
