Paul Merson has weighed in on the upcoming clash between Fulham and Wolves, with the former Arsenal star making a bold prediction about the relegation battle. Merson, known for his outspoken views, claims that this game could be pivotal in determining which team will face the drop this season.

Wolves, having recently earned a crucial 2-0 win over Southampton, will be hoping to build on that momentum. However, Fulham, currently flying high in the Premier League, will be no easy opponent.

Merson predicts a tough challenge for Gary O’Neil’s men, suggesting that the result could have significant implications for both clubs’ survival hopes.

Merson believes that this match could be a defining moment for both sides, especially with Gary O’Neil still facing scrutiny despite Wolves’ first win of the season. With a difficult task ahead and a potentially key defensive absence in Santi Bueno, the Wolves boss is under pressure to deliver a result.

Fulham, sitting just one point behind the Champions League spots, are in impressive form and will be looking to extend their strong start to the season. Merson predicts that this will be a tough test for O’Neil’s men, highlighting the challenge of facing a Fulham side that’s flying high in the table. Given the stakes, it promises to be an intense encounter, with plenty of pressure on both teams.

Paul Merson has made a bold prediction ahead of Fulham’s clash with Wolves, tipping the hosts to secure a 2-0 win at Craven Cottage. Merson acknowledges Wolves’ crucial 2-0 victory over Southampton before the international break, but he believes the task will be much harder against Fulham, who have been impressive this season.

The former Arsenal star also issued a stark warning for Wolves, stating that if they are still only six points above the relegation zone by Christmas, they will be in real danger of relegation. Merson’s prediction adds further pressure on Gary O’Neil and his squad, with survival hopes on the line in a tough Premier League campaign.

Paul Merson has stressed that Wolves must capitalize on their upcoming fixtures to avoid relegation. After facing Fulham at Craven Cottage, Gary O’Neil’s side will meet Bournemouth, Everton, West Ham, Ipswich Town, and Leicester—games that Merson believes are crucial for picking up points. He argues that if Wolves are not at least six points clear of the relegation zone by the end of December, they will be relegated. Merson suggests that O’Neil will be under significant pressure, and a lack of positive results could lead to his dismissal.

Wolves have a strong recent head-to-head record against Fulham, winning four of the last seven encounters between the two sides. For Wolves to secure a vital victory or at least a point at Craven Cottage, they will need to execute their counter-attacks effectively and neutralize Fulham’s key players. Adama Traore will be a significant threat to Fulham’s defense, particularly against Toti Gomes, who will need to be at his best to deal with the Spaniard’s pace and power. On the offensive end, Carlos Forbs could pose a danger to Fulham’s backline. Despite Wolves’ recent struggles, their favorable history against Fulham gives them some hope heading into this match.

Wolves last secured a 2-1 victory over Fulham at Molineux in March, with Rayan Ait-Nouri scoring one and Tom Cairney netting an own goal. Gary O’Neil will be hoping for a repeat of that result on Saturday as Wolves aim to build on their recent win and gain vital points in their battle for Premier League survival.
