THE LOWDOWN
MAN UTD
- Man Utd bounced back well from their draw away at Newcastle by putting Burnley to the sword this past Thursday, beating the Clarets 3-1 in Ralph Rangnick’s second home league game in charge.
- Both Paul Pogba and Victor Lindelof remain absent for the Red Devils and Anthony Martial a doubt, however creative midfielder Bruno Fernandes returns to the fold after having missed out through suspension against Burnley.
WOLVES
- Wolves are set to embark on their first Premier League fixture since before Christmas and do so having accumulated four points from their last two league games, backing up their victory away at Brighton with a 0-0 draw at home to Chelsea.
- Bruno Lage will be unable to call upon the likes of Rayan Ait Nouri, Hwang Hee-chan and Willy Boly due to injury and could utilise the pace of Adama Traore from the start here in a bid to hit United on the counter-attack.

THE PREDICTION
Most impressive about Wolves in recent matches has been their extremely well-drilled defence, which has led to low scoring affairs whenever they have been in action. The last eight fixtures in involving Wolves have seen under 2.5 goals scored and Lage’s men have successfully kept seven Premier League clean sheets over the course of the season so far. However, Man Utd at Old Trafford will prove an extremely difficult opponent to keep out with Cristiano Ronaldo the main weapon within the United attacking arsenal. Under Rangnick, the hosts have picked up ten points from a possible 12 in the top flight and should have enough offensive firepower to edge past Wolves in this one, although they may have to show some patience against a stubborn opponent.
