Wolves vs Fulham: Premier League Match Preview

Wolves host Fulham at Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton, with kick-off on 17 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 37. Wolves sit 20th on 18 points with a goal difference of -41, while Fulham are 11th on 48 points and a goal difference of -6.

Wolves Availability

Wolves have a lengthy absentee list and significant issues in goal.

  • L. Chiwome (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
  • E. Gonzalez (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
  • S. Johnstone (Knock) is sidelined.
  • J. Sa (Ankle Injury) is sidelined.

All four are confirmed out rather than doubtful, with both senior goalkeepers Johnstone and Sa missing, forcing Wolves to rely on backups D. Bentley or J. Gracey between the posts.

Fulham Availability

Fulham are also hit by absences across the pitch.

  • J. Andersen (Red Card) is sidelined.
  • A. Iwobi (Injury) is sidelined.
  • R. Jimenez (Suspended) is sidelined.
  • R. Sessegnon (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined.

Andersen’s suspension removes a first-choice centre-back, while Jimenez’s ban further thins the attacking options. Creative midfielder Iwobi and versatile wide option Sessegnon are also unavailable.

Impact Summary

Wolves’ main damage is structural rather than in pure attacking output, with both first-choice goalkeepers sidelined and depth in attack reduced by Gonzalez and Chiwome missing. Fulham retain their leading attacker H. Wilson, who has 10 goals and 6 assists in the league, preserving their primary creative and scoring threat despite the loss of Jimenez and several supporting pieces.
