Pereira expects his team to deliver their best performance against Fulham as they aim to create distance between themselves and the relegation zone. Wolves are currently under pressure from Ipswich Town, who are closing in on them. The manager is aware that there is still plenty of room for improvement, particularly in converting scoring opportunities and defending effectively. “I expect our best version on Tuesday,” Pereira demanded. “We can improve a lot of things; scoring goals when we get opportunities, defending well because this is a good team with a good coach. We must look for ourselves and compete to get the three points.”

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira singled out Brazil midfielder Andre for praise, highlighting his crucial role in the team's victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. “He is important for us because he keeps the balance of the team,” Pereira explained. “When we have the ball he needs to be aware, to be organised and be balanced for the moment we might lose the ball. He's the player to connect the sectors, switch the play and he has the intelligence to play in that position.”

Pereira also welcomed the return to fitness of striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who has been working his way back to full fitness in recent weeks. The manager acknowledged that Larsen's return provides him with another valuable option going forward. “It's a good headache,” Pereira said with a smile. “Hopefully I have a lot of headaches like that. He is better now, he played 45 minutes and is recovering his fitness. Now he is in the condition to help the team.”
