MATCH PREVIEW : BACK TO MOLINEUX FOR WOLVES V FULHAM

Here are the main headlines:

• Winger Pedro Neto and goalkeeper Jose Sa are “both feeling 100% fine” and will be in the squad after being forced off with injury problems at half-time in the 3-0 defeat by Newcastle last weekend.

• Sporting director Matt Hobbs said on Thursday that contract talks with O’Neil are planned for the end of the season, but O’Neil is keen to focus on Wolves’ remaining fixtures before starting discussions about his own future.

• On how straightforward those talks will be when they take place: “I love it here. I’m really happy and I love everything we’re trying to do, even the challenges we’ve had to face with how we try to do things and changing the model financially. I’ve loved the reception I’ve got from the fans and the relationship I have with the fans, the playing squad and the staff. I’m sure when it comes to it, there will be no problems.”

• On his relationship with Hobbs: “Matt’s a great guy, I wouldn’t be here without him. The support I’ve had from Matt has been something I haven’t really experienced in football before as a player or as a manager at my last club. When you have to have awkward conversations, you always know my side and his side are coming from a really good place.”

• Wolves announced a financial loss of £67.2m for 2022-23 last week, but O’Neil insisted that does not mean the club will be forced to sell any of its star assets: “We have enough assets within the club, whether they be here or playing elsewhere, that we’ll be able to do some stuff in the summer. But also, if we want to be really active and sign players, then we will need to sell some. That doesn’t mean we have to sell one of the most expensive ones. It’s not like we have to sell, but if we want to do business, there will be people that leave in the summer.”
