Wolves v Fulham: Key stats and talking points

Wolves welcome Fulham at Molineux on Sunday (15:00 BST) on the penultimate weekend with both sides looking to finish a long campaign on a brighter note. Wolves are already down, while Fulham are trying to avoid ending the season with three straight defeats.

Wolves look for pride after relegation

Wolves have spent most of the season rooted to the bottom, yet they remain capable of troubling stronger sides when it all comes together.

This one is about restoring pride and giving Molineux something to cling to over the summer.

Rob Edwards has walked into a tough situation— a team short on confidence and even shorter on goals.

No side has failed to score in more matches this season (19), and that lack of threat has defined their slide.

Relegation was confirmed in April with five games still to play, ending their eight year stay in the Premier League.

There's also the recent history with Fulham.

Wolves have lost the last two meetings — as many as in the previous 12 — and another defeat would hand Fulham their first league double in this long running fixture.

And Wolves haven't won their final home game in any of the last five seasons.

Edwards will want to break at least one of those patterns and sign off with something more positive.

Will Silva's side finish with a flourish?

Fulham head to the West Midlands looking to steady themselves after two bruising defeats without scoring.

They haven't gone three league games without a goal since late 2023.

And Marco Silva will want a better display to close out a season that has swung between strong spells and frustrating setbacks.

Their European hopes are still alive, but only just.

Fulham can reach a maximum of 54 points, leaving them in a congested chase where they no longer control their own fate.

The Cottagers have been bold and entertaining at times, but their results illustrate how up and down they've been.

Only one victory in five league games.

And there's a familiar face in the mix.

Raul Jimenez, Wolves' record Premier League scorer, faces his former club again and is still searching for his first goal against them.
