Wolves lineup vs. Fulham: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Wolverhampton Wanderers will be without three players for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage.

While teenage forward Leon Chiwome remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury, while Matt Doherty (knee) and Rodrigo Gomes (groin) have also been ruled out after they were both forced off in the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea in the EFL Cup fourth round on Wednesday.

Ladislav Krejci is expected to earn a recall in defence alongside Santiago Bueno, and Jackson Tchatchoua is set to start at right-back at the expense of Doherty, while David Moller Wolfe - who scored twice against Chelsea - will hope to keep his spot at left-back ahead of Hugo Bueno.

Andre was rested in midweek and Brazilian compatriot Joao Gomes was an unused substitute against Chelsea. Both midfielders are expected to start on Saturday, though, and could be joined in the middle of the pitch by either Marshall Munetsi or Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.

Jhon Arias, Fer Lopez and Hwang Hee-chan have struggled to make their mark in the first term this term, but all three players will be in contention to start in attack in the absence of Rodrigo Gomes.

Jorgen Strand Larsen scored his first Premier League goal of the season in last weekend’s 3-2 home defeat to Burnley and he is expected to lead the line once again, with Tolu Arokodare - who scored against Chelsea - providing cover as a substitute.

Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup: Johnstone; Tchatchoua, S. Bueno, Krejci, H. Bueno; Munetsi, Andre, J. Gomes; Arias, Strand Larsen, Hwang
