----------------------------------
Wolves
The win over Bournemouth may have come at a cost, as Rayan Ait-Nouri left the field well before the final whistle. The left-back managed to carry on following Illia Zabarnyi’s red card-worthy challenge but was forced off with 10 minutes to play in the game.
The potential absence of the Algerian international could be problematic for Wolves against Fulham if Rodrigo Gomes cannot return from an unspecified problem that has seen the wide man miss the last two games. In any case, Pereira could call upon teenager Pedro Lima to fill the void.
Wolves have no big changes to their injury situations, with as many as seven players certainly missing from action, including Rodrigo Gomes. On the positive side, Jorgen Strand Larsen made his return from a hamstring problem as a substitute against Bournemouth, and he should be back in contention to claim a starting berth. However, Pereira will have to decide how he views the attacker’s fitness levels.
Pereira could name a similar lineup for the midweek tie compared to the one at the weekend, with the only change coming in at left wing-back as Lima replaces Ait-Nouri. Meanwhile, he might continue with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Marshall Munetsi, and Matheus Cunha leading the forward line, as Strand Larsen is likely to feature from the bench once more.
Fulham
Marco Silva will be sweating on the fitness report on Emile Smith Rowe and Tom Cairney, with the pair picking up issues during the loss to Crystal Palace at the weekend.
The duo will have to go through a late assessment before determining their place in the matchday squad. Silva is likely to make do without them, especially ahead of the FA Cup clash with Manchester United at the weekend.
Andreas Pereira could replace Smith Rowe in the attacking midfield role, while Silva will continue to go ahead with a midfield double-pivot of Sasa Lukic and Sander Berge.
In the background, Silva will continue with his familiar backline of Timothy Castagne, Andersen, Calvin Bassey, and Antonee Robinson. Up front, Raul Jimenez will continue to lead the line, while Pereira will operate in the No.10 role as Adama Traore and Alex Iwobi provide the width from the wings.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Doherty, Toti, Bueno; Semedo, Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Bellegarde, Munetsi; Cunha
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Traore, Pereira, Iwobi; Jimenez
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Fulham Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Tuesday's game will mark the 100th competitive meeting between the two sides since the 1900s. Wolves lead 47-27.
The Old Gold picked up a comprehensive 4-1 comeback victory in the fixture earlier in the season.
The Cottagers are without a clean sheet in four games in the fixture.
Vitor Pereira's men have conceded 54 league goals this season. Only Leicester City (59) and last-placed Southampton (61) have shipped more.
Fulham have managed one clean sheet in their last seven games on the road.
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 Fulham
Scoring goals away from home is one of Fulham's strong points, but the Cottagers now square up to an increasingly resilient Wolves side who put them to the sword convincingly earlier this season. Tuesday's contest should be closer in terms of the scoreline, but Pereira's attackers all looked lively at the weekend, and with Strand Larsen also returning to offer another imposing option up front, we can picture the hosts picking up another crucial three points in the fight against the drop.
