GREAT CHANCE! It's almost a great start for Fulham! They work it quickly upfield, with Pereira racing down the right before fizzing it in from the byline. Jimenez is closest to it in the middle, but he completely misses the ball.

There's just one change by Gary O'Neil to his side after their win over Spurs last time out, and it's an enforced one. Craig Dawson is suspended, so he's replaced by Santiago Bueno, who has recovered from an ankle injury. Lemina has overcome an ankle problem of his own to start, while Doherty is fit enough for the bench after a hamstring issue.

As for Wolves, after a slightly slow start to their own season, they're hitting their stride now. They've lost just one of their last seven Premier League outings (W3 D3), though that defeat did come in their last away trip as they had a controversial penalty awarded against them in the dying moments which saw Sheffield United beat them 2-1. Wolves come into this game on the back of an outstanding stoppage-time comeback which saw them beat Tottenham 2-1 before the international break.
