TEAMS PREVIEW

Manchester United FC Preview

After ending last year outside the top ten with a meagre 19 points, Manchester United have come a long way, now sitting sixth on 29 points. With just three points separating them from fourth-placed Liverpool, a place in the top five is firmly within reach. And they will fancy their chances against bottom-placed Wolves, especially after snapping a home winless run that had stretched back to October.

That home victory came via a 1–0 win over Newcastle United, sealed by an early strike from wing-back Patrick Dorgu — his first goal for the club. The result was made even more impressive by the absence of Bruno Fernandes, a challenge the Red Devils will once again have to navigate when they face Wolves.

Stats that matter 

1. The 1-0 win was only the second Premier League clean sheet of the season for Manchester United.
2. Man United have failed to win their last league fixtures in the last two calendar years.
3. The Red Devils have managed to score in each of their last six Premier League matches. 

Team News 

Apart from Bruno Fernandes’ absence and a few long-term injuries, Amorim and his team also have a concern over Mason Mount, who was forced off at half-time in the last outing. 

Manchester United  Probable XI - Lammens (GK); Martinez, Heaven, Shaw, Yoro (Defenders); Casemiro, Dorgu, Ugarte, Dalot (Midfielders); M, Cunha, Sesko (Forwards). 

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

Wolverhampton are staring relegation in the face after six straight seasons in the Premier League since their return in 2018–19. Their struggles continued with a 2–1 defeat to Liverpool, a scoreline that made the contest look closer than it truly was, as two first-half goals from the Reds left Wolves chasing a game they never truly looked capable of turning around. Nonetheless, they managed to reduce the deficit thanks to Santiago Bueno's goals. 

Looking ahead, it’s hard to see Wolves engineering a turnaround, especially after suffering a 4–1 defeat to the same opponents not long ago. However, this year-end clash carries added significance — another loss would see the Midlands side equal Ipswich’s 31-year-old top-flight record of 26 defeats in a calendar year, a record Wolves will be desperate to avoid.

Stats that matter 

1. Wolves remain the only side yet to win a match in the Premier League this season.
2. Only once in the last six years have Wolverhampton come out of the final league match with a win.
3. So far in their last 22 league matches, Wolverhampton have conceded at least one goal. 

Team News 

In addition to several absentees due to AFCON commitments, Wolves will also be without centre-back Toti Gomes, another blow to an already stretched squad.

Wolverhampton Probable XI - Sa (GK); Santiago Bueno, Krejci, Mosquera, H. Bueno, Doherty (Defenders); Mane, Andre, Gomes (Midfielders); Hwang, Jorgen Strand-Larsen/ Arkodare ( Forwards).

MANCHESTER UNITED FC vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS FC
Winning Prediction

Buoyed by their recent win over Wolves and the confidence restored at Old Trafford after the last league victory, the Red Devils head into midweek in an upbeat mood. Wolves may draw comfort from having beaten United in this very fixture last season, but with circumstances now very different with star players from the squad missing, Manchester United are fancied to come out on top.
