Wolves v Fulham preview: A pivotal period in Wolves' relegation battle

An impressive 1-0 win over Bournemouth at the weekend - with other results going their way - means Wolves are now five points clear of the relegation zone and have a goal difference advantage of 12 over 17th-placed Ipswich Town.

With 12 top flight games remaining this season, Wolves are far from safe, but they are heading in the right direction and now have a huge opportunity in front of them.

Bournemouth away was arguably the hardest game - on current form at least - of a nine-game run that will take Wolves into early May.

To have started that run of fixtures with three points and plenty of opportunities ahead of them, was the perfect reaction from Vitor Pereira's side.

Fulham have quality of their own but potentially face some injury concerns, while Wolves should use their home advantage under the Molineux floodlights.

Although Pereira refused to comment on Wolves' upcoming fixtures, he did acknowledge that a win over London opposition tonight would mean Wolves could begin focusing on the teams above them and moving away from danger.

"I cannot think about them, I just put my focus on Fulham," the head coach said.
