Form and Line-up: Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers do not even have the strength to overtake next-to-bottom Burnley. What kind of survival can we talk about? A team without truly bright performers at the moment does not match Premier League level. Over the last five matches the side have scored only once, which brought them a rare draw against Sunderland. And even that happened not without help from the opposition, who had a key centre-back sent off as early as the 25th minute.
Key numbers:
Have not won since 4 March, when Liverpool were beaten 2:1. The winless run has already stretched to six rounds.
Strangely enough, the hosts concede from counter-attacks more often than most other teams (six goals).
As befits an outsider, the team shoot very rarely (an average of 9.5 attempts per match).
Probable Wolverhampton Wanderers line-up (3-4-2-1):
Daniel Bentley – Toti Gomes, Santiago Bueno, Yerson Mosquera – Pedro Lima, Andre, Joao Gomes, Hugo Bueno – Adam Armstrong, Mateus Mane – Hwang Hee-chan
Absentees: Sam Johnstone (injury), Jose Sa (doubtful)
Form and Line-up: Fulham
Before the last international break Fulham looked like a full-fledged contender for European competition, being only two points adrift, but then, as so often in the past, the team slumped and are now only at the back of the queue. It is hard to push others aside when there are only two quality finishers in the squad. In April and May the side won just one of five matches.
Key numbers:
In Fulham's last five matches at least one of the teams failed to score.
Fulham's most successful periods in matches are from kick-off to the 15th minute and from the 61st to the 75th minute (+5).
If only first-half results counted, the London club would have just nine wins.
Probable Fulham line-up (4-2-3-1):
Bernd Leno – Antonee Robinson, Calvin Bassey, Tom Cairney, Timothy Castagne – Joshua King, Sasa Lukic – Samuel Chukwueze, Emile Smith Rowe, Harry Wilson – Rodrigo Muniz.
Absentees: Alex Iwobi, Kevin, Ryan Sessegnon (injuries), Joachim Andersen (suspension)
