Fulham host Wolverhampton on Friday
FULHAM have been one of the big surprises in the English Premier League this season and can move to within a point of the UEFA Champions League qualification places with a home win over Wolverhampton.
Fulham are in sixth place in their first season after promotion, having started out as one of those earmarked for relegation. They are coming off back-to-back wins against Nottingham Forest and Brighton. Another win would see Fulham join fifth-place Newcastle on 41 points. Top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic is an injury doubt for Fulham after missing the Brighton game. Wolverhampton are in 15th place in the 20-team league, three points above the relegation zone.
