Wolves vs Fulham: Premier League Clash Preview

Wolves host Fulham at Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton, with kick-off at 14:00 (UTC) on 17 May 2026. The clash comes late in the Premier League regular season, with Wolves bottom in 20th on 18 points and a goal difference of -41, while Fulham sit 11th on 48 points and -6 goal difference.

Wolves Availability

Wolves face significant selection issues.

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

The double absence of Johnstone and Sa leaves Wolves without two senior goalkeepers, forcing depth options like D. Bentley and J. Gracey into focus. With Wolves having scored only 25 league goals and already struggling in attack, losing attacking option E. Gonzalez further thins their bench.

Fulham Availability

Fulham also have several key absentees.

• 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 starting centre-back, while Jimenez’s ban robs Fulham of an experienced striker. Creative midfielder Iwobi and versatile wide option Sessegnon being sidelined cuts into Marco Silva’s rotation options.

Impact Summary

Wolves, already the league’s lowest scorers, lose depth rather than headline scorers, but the goalkeeper crisis is severe. Fulham, with 44 goals, retain their primary attacking talisman H. Wilson (10 goals, 6 assists), so their core attacking output remains intact despite Jimenez and Iwobi being sidelined.
