Fulham
The Whites currently sit 5th in the Championship – 5 points clear of Preston in 7th place with 55 points from their opening 32 games. Slaviša Jokanović’s men are unbeaten in their last 10 Championship matches and look to be timing their run up the table to absolute perfection. Ryan Sessegnon has been prolific for Fulham this season – scoring a remarkable 12 goals in all competitions.
Wolverhampton
The media have run out of superlatives for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men this season and their brand of football has been a pleasure to watch. Wolves have picked up 72 points from their opening 32 games to open up a 11 point gap at the top of the Championship table and will want to stretch their lead at the top of the table and take another step towards the Premier League. Leo Bonatini has been a revelation in the Championship this season and he’ll be keen to add to his tally of 12 goals this season.
