Fulham vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Follow live coverage as Fulham face Wolverhampton Wanderers today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Wolves boss Gary O’Neil will have been mightily relieved to register a win against fellow strugglers Southampton in their last game. The match finished 2-0 with Pablo Sarabia and Matheus Cunha getting the goals. Cunha has netted in his last three away games and represents a major threat to the opposition having contributed to seven of the 16 goals his side have scored during this campaign. Only eight teams have scored more than Wolves in the Premier League, so the problems they have lay elsewhere. They have shipped 27 in 11 games so far, the most conceded by any topflight team this season, and if they are to improve upon their league position – where they currently sit in 19th place – they will have to address that conundrum.

Fulham host Wolves at Craven Cottage hoping to continue their excellent form and pick up where they left off before the international break, with a three-game unbeaten streak propelling them to the dizzy heights of seventh place before today’s round of Premier League games. Adding playmaker Emile Smith Rowe to the ranks in the summer has undoubtedly added another attacking dimension to Marco Silva’s side, and the ex-Arsenal man was on the scoresheet last time out as they beat Crystal Palace 2-0. The other player on the scoresheet that day was Harry Wilson. The Welshman is in a rich vein of form himself having already singlehandedly turned the previous game against Brentford on its head, scoring twice in injury time to snatch a 2-1 victory from the jaws of defeat. With only one home defeat at the Cottage this season, and the opportunity to record three consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since January 2023, Fulham head into this game as strong favourites.
