Wolves are enjoying a small renaissance under experienced manager Julen Lopetegui since his arrival in the west Midlands from Spain earlier in the season, and recent results reflect the growing expectation that the club should be fully capable of successfully avoiding relegation during the 2022-23 Premier League season.
With results in four of their last six league outings (3-1-2), Wolves are still only just three points from safety after their 1-0 loss against Bournemouth and could be right back into the bottom three should they not take anything off Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Predicted Wolves XI

- Out: Saša Kalajdžić, Hwang Hee-Chan, Boubacar Traoré, Chiquinho
- Doubt: N/A
Julen Lopetegui remains without a cadre of valuable assets coming into the weekend clash in London, with summer signing Saša Kalajdžić still on the treatment table after his arrival from VfB Stuttgart, while Boubacar Traoré and Chiquinho are also out due to injury.
South Korean ace Hwang Hee-Chan has officially been ruled out for multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury, stripping the Spanish tactician of another source of goals in the final third. Lopetegui may be able to welcome Mario Lemina back into the heart of midfield after completing his suspension against Bournemouth, which could offer a boost to the club’s chances of picking up a result on their travels.
