Wolves defender Craig Dawson: Fulham are a great team

Wolves defender Craig Dawson says they know they must be at their best against Fulham tonight.

Wolves face the Cottagers after last week's defeat to Bournemouth.

Dawson said, "Fulham are a great team. If you go through their squad, they've got a brilliant team, so it's going to be a tough game – we know that.

“We know that we're going to have to be at our best, but we've had a good week on the training pitch so we're well prepared and hopefully we can get a good result. We've got some tough games coming up, but they're games we're looking forward to."

On working with manager Julen Lopetegui, he added: “He's obviously a top manager. He's been at some great clubs and has some great experience. I played against him in the quarter-final of the Europa League and I remember playing against his team and seeing the passion that he had at the side of the pitch.

“When Wolves came in for me in January, I obviously wanted to work for him and come to the club, so I was really excited to do that.

“I'm really enjoying working with him so far and look forward to learning a lot more from him. He's very passionate, very hard working and he keeps everybody on their toes."
