Wolverhampton Wanderers have the chance to pick up a victory away to Fulham as the Cottagers will play the remainder of the game with 10 men following Tom Crainey's straight red card before the interval.

Wolves, who fought back from a goal down to draw at Preston North End on Saturday, almost took the lead in the opening minutes when Benik Afobe's shot brought a save out of Andy Lonergan.

After Moussa Dembele directed his header off-target for Fulham, James Henry tried to engineer a breakthrough for Kenny Jackett's side, but blazed his effort over the bar.

Moments later, Afobe latched on to Kevin McDonald's cross and sent his header goalwards, only to be denied again by Lonergan.

Fulham then went close to opening the scoring midway through the first half, as Crainey was denied by Emiliano Martinez before the Wolves stopper kept out Ross McCormack's strike from a tight angle.

However, the Cottagers' hopes of winning suffered a blow when Crainey was sent off for his challenge on Adam Le Fondre.
