As the Premier League season winds down, Wolves and Fulham face off at Molineux this Sunday (15:00 BST) in a match that's less about survival and more about ending on a high note. Wolves have already been relegated, while Fulham are desperate to avoid a third straight defeat to close out their campaign.
It's been a tough year for Wolves, who've spent most of the season anchored to the bottom of the table. Despite their struggles, they've shown flashes of brilliance against stronger opponents—hinting at what could have been. Now, it's all about restoring pride and giving the Molineux faithful something to cheer about heading into the summer.
New manager Rob Edwards inherited a team low on confidence and even lower on goals. No side has failed to score in more matches this season (19), and that lack of attacking firepower has been their undoing. Relegation was confirmed back in April, ending an eight-year stay in the Premier League.
History isn't on Wolves' side either. They've lost their last two meetings against Fulham—as many as in the previous 12—and another defeat would hand the Cottagers their first league double in this long-running fixture. To make matters worse, Wolves haven't won their final home game in any of the last five seasons. Edwards will be eager to break that streak and sign off with something positive.
Fulham, meanwhile, head to the West Midlands looking to steady the ship after two bruising defeats where they failed to score. They haven't gone three league games without a goal since late 2023, and manager Marco Silva will want a much better performance to close out a season that's been a mix of strong spells and frustrating setbacks.
European hopes are still alive for Fulham, but just barely. They 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 show just how inconsistent they've been.
All eyes will also be on Raul Jimenez, Wolves' record Premier League scorer, who faces his former club again. He's still searching for his first goal against them—a storyline that adds a little extra spice to this end-of-season clash.
Whether you're backing Wolves to bow out with pride or Fulham to steady the ship, this Sunday's match at Molineux promises to be a battle of resilience. And for fans looking to rep their team's colors through the ups and downs, there's no better time to gear up in your favorite kit—because loyalty never takes a break, even when the season does.
