Wolves and Fulham are both going into Saturday’s clash off the back of a win.

To be played on Saturday 10th December 2016 at 15:00. Venue: Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton

Odds: Wolves 9/5, Draw 23/10, Fulham 6/4

Wolverhampton Wanderers go into their Championship clash with Fulham hoping to capitalise on the momentum they gained in their previous game, which saw their first win under Paul Lambert.

Two goals in the second-half helped Wolves go to Queens Park Rangers and win 2-1 against Ian Holloway’s men.

But while they would have gained a significant lift from their last result, they are facing a Fulham side that were fantastic in their most recent fixture as they beat high-flying Reading 5-0 at Craven Cottage.

Given Fulham’s impressive display last time out, it would not be a surprise if Lambert began to keep faith with many of the faces who took to the pitch at Loftus Road.

The former Blackburn boss has chopped and changed in his first few games in charge, but he may want to avoid any further rotation by selecting the same 10 outfield players.

However, there is perhaps likely to be a change in goal. Carl Ikeme had to be replaced by former Fulham stopper Andy Lonergan seven minutes from time against the Hoops, and with Ikeme missing several weeks of action before the game, it would not be a surprise if Lambert decided to take no chances with him.
