THE LOWDOWN
WOLVES
- Julen Lopetegui spent his Boxing Day celebrating wildly on the Goodison Park touchline as his Wolves team bagged a last-gasp winning goal to beat Everton 1-2 and lift themselves off the bottom of the Premier League table.
- That victory means that Lopetegui has won both of his first two competitive fixtures in charge of Wolves so far, giving them fresh momentum heading into another crucial encounter.
MAN UTD
- Man Utd were professional and clinical in their first game back in action post World Cup break, comfortably dispatching newly promoted Nottingham Forest 3-1 at Old Trafford.
- Marcus Rashford took his form from the World Cup back to his club, gaining both a goal and an assist, whilst Anthony Martial was also on the scoresheet in what will be a huge boost for his confidence.
THE TEAM NEWS
WOLVES
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Sa; Semedo, Collins, Kilman, Bueno; Nunes, Neves, Moutinho; Hwang, Costa, Guedes
UNAVAILABLE: Chiquinho (Injured), Kalajdzic (Injured), Neto (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Jonny (Injured), Podence (Injured), Traore (Injured)
MAN UTD
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial
UNAVAILABLE: Tuanzebe (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Dalot (Injured), Lindelof (Illness), Lisandro (International Break), McTominay (Illness)
THE PREDICTION
Whilst Wolves haven’t yet how to fully shut the door on their opponents defensively, they have significantly improved under Lopetegui going forward, showing more quality and confidence within the opposition third. This should therefore prove a very tough challenge for a Man Utd backline ravaged by illness/injury. However, the visitors can counter that with a very dangerous forward line of their own, particularly from a pace perspective and a number of goalscoring opportunities are expected to be created by each side across this contest. Regardless of the final outcome, back both teams to score.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
