\u201cThey\u2019re a good team, and Marco Silva has done a brilliant job there. They\u2019re a good footballing team, they\u2019ve got a nice way of going about it, but also now they look like a team who can compete with anyone on their day, and within a number of different ways, with lots of movement and rotations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a big challenge, but one we\u2019re really looking forwards to. Let\u2019s just go and deliver a performance now, rather than me talking about what we\u2019ve done this week or anything else. Let\u2019s just go and deliver a performance against a good team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fulham Team News<\/h3>\n

Alex Iwobi may make an appearance at Molineux after missing the last three games due to a hamstring injury, which will be a boost for the visitors as the Fulham man had six goals in 13 Premier League appearances against the West Midlands side. Joachim Andersen was sent off in Fulham’s defeat to Bournemouth and will be suspended for this match. They don’t have any other selection issues. Speaking on the impact of Iwobi’s return, Silva had this to say during his pre-match press conference<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a big player for us, definitely. He\u2019s a player who\u2019s very versatile, who can play in many different positions. He\u2019s also a player that can add extra quality in the decision making.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn all aspects of the game, he\u2019s a key player for us, and he\u2019s shown it again this season. It\u2019s a boost. Definitely, it\u2019s a boost.\u201d<\/p>\n
