The set-piece delivery so far has left a lot to be desired.
Fulham 0-0 Wolves
Wolves have won eight of their last 11 league matches against Fulham (D2 L1), with their only defeat in this run a 2-0 loss in the Championship in February 2018.
They now force a corner after a strong run from Adama Traore.
Fulham 0-0 Wolves
Again Wolves attack down their right wing but this time Antonee Robinson defends very well.
A draw tonight would leave Fulham two points behind Newcastle and safety, having played two games more. They need a win but they haven't had a shot on goal yet.
Fulham 0-0 Wolves
Nelson Semedo has a driving run down the Wolves right ended by a crude bodycheck. Chance to send the men up from the back - but the delivery is awful. Straight out for a goal-kick.
Fulham 0-0 Wolves
Fulham look to play in Bobby Decordova-Reid with a diagonal ball over the top but he can't control it. Cagey opening from the hosts.
Fulham 0-0 Wolves
As Karen points out, Wolves do tend to make a slow start. They have actually scored the opening goal in only one of their last 20 Premier League matches, and that was an own goal by Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier.

Wolves will keep things nice and compact. They are usually very slow in the first half and this is a chance for Fulham to gain some impetus.
Fulham 0-0 Wolves
Fulham
Fulham have scored with just 24 of their 362 shots in the Premier League this season, giving them a league-low conversion rate of 6.6%. The last team to have such a low conversion rate across a full season and avoid relegation was Wigan in 2008-09 (5.8%).
Fulham 0-0 Wolves
Wolves force a very early free-kick which Willian Jose heads wide. Bright start from the visitors who are probably not completely safe themselves yet.
Fulham 0-0 Wolves
Wolves are actually in their Portugal away kit tonight.
Fulham 0-0 Wolves
Fulham make two changes from the side beaten 3-1 at Aston Villa last time out.
Defenders Terence Kongolo and Antonee Robinson come into the side (which is likely to set up with a back three), with Tosin Adarabioyo dropping to the bench and Ademola Lookman missing from the squad entirely. The forward was substituted with an injury early in the second half at Villa Park.
Aleksandar Mitrovic continues to lead the line, having scored Fulham's goal against Villa.
Fulham: Areola, Aina, Kongolo, Andersen, Tete, Lemina, Reed, Robinson, Loftus-Cheek, Mitrovic, Reid.
Subs: Hector, Ream, Adarabioyo, Ivan Cavaleiro, Bryan, Onomah, Maja, Zambo, Ramirez.
Wolves played last on Monday but name an unchanged side from the one that lost 3-2 at home to West Ham.
Midfielder Joao Moutinho is fit enough to return the bench, where he joins Fabio Silva, who came on and scored against the Hammers, but must again bide his time.
Wolves: Rui Patricio, Nelson Semedo, Coady, Saiss, Ait Nouri, Dendoncker, Neves, Pedro Neto, Daniel Podence, Traore, Willian Jose.
Subs: Hoever, Silva, Gibbs-White, Vitinha, Ruddy, Joao Moutinho, Richards, Kilman, Otasowie.
Fulham 0-0 Wolves
And we are under way at Craven Cottage where a win would lift Fulham out of the bottom three.
Fulham v Wolves (20:00 BST)
