Fulham manager Marco Silva does not believe Wolverhampton Wanderers’ impending divisional status will promise a simple contest at Molineux on Sunday.
They will be a Championship club in 2026/27, but Silva knows his Fulham team will have to be at our best if we’re to secure a first ever league double over Wolves.
“I know that they are relegated, but if I go back and look for, for example, their last six home games, I saw them winning against Liverpool, I saw them winning against Villa, I saw them get a great result [2-2] against the team that is on top of the table [Arsenal] in the Premier League, that is fighting to be champions.
“And if you think that even if they are or not relegated, it’s going to be easy or not, when you have these type of games, players want to show their capacities – individual point of view, them as a football club, and of course they want to win the game as well.
“It’s that feeling [for Wolves] of last game of the season at home with your fans, you know what that represents as well.
They want to finish in a different way. Everything is there, and that showed to me that it’s going to be a difficult game.
“I didn't know about the double over Wolves – let's go for it. But the first thing you have, I'm not talking about respecting themselves, more to respect ourselves, what we have been doing, and the points that are there for us to fight for.”
