Wishing to sign 2022 with a flurry on the road, Manchester United travel to Molineux on Saturday midday to meet Wolves.
wolvesStarting with the hosts, managing to open Julen Lopetegui's tenure with a final 2-1 victory at Everton earlier in the week, Wolves will be desperate to cause an upset here. However, while the Oranges might have ended their five-game Premier League winless streak on Boxing Day, the former Sevilla boss finds his side in the midst of a relegation tumble. Opening Saturday's showdown at Molineux a point adrift in the drop zone, Wolves have continued to show prolonged problems this season. As well as recording just a pair of premier wins in their last 10 attempts, this weekend's hosts have also earned a reputation for their home struggles. Last seen in the Midlands suffering a deserved 2-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal, it's worth pointing out that Lopetegui's side have lost four of their last five Premier League games at Molineux. p>
Team News
Wolves have confirmed that they will be without the trio of Chiquinho, Pedro Neto and Sasa Kalajdzic again this weekend. Likewise, Daniel Podence is a major doubt on Saturday afternoon.
However, in what could be a real boost for the relegation scrappers, Lopetegui could welcome back Boubacar Touré and Jonny Castro.
Manchester UnitedAs for the visitors, marking their return to the Premier League earlier in the week with a flurry at home, Manchester United should find the atmosphere in their camp at a very high level. While the English giants may have had a pessimistic start to the 2022/23 campaign, Erik ten Hag's side are now aiming to claim a Champions League return in the new year. Having lost just one of his previous eight top-flight outings - a run that dates back to October 2 - the former Ajax boss will call his side to score another marker on Saturday afternoon. Similarly, extending their EFL Cup run last week as they cruised to a 2-0 win over Championship top tier Burnley, United find themselves just one point clear of a top-four finish. Still, having conceded a goal since returning from the World Cup break, Ten Hag's side will be looking to maintain their momentum here.
Team News
Manchester United will again be without Diogo Dalot and Jadon Sancho this weekend. However, after returning to training earlier in the week, Lisandro Martinez could play on Saturday.
Missed against Nottingham Forest due to illness, ten Hag hopes that Victor Lindelof and Scott McTominay can return to Molineux.
Key Factors to Consider Wolves' 2-1 win over Everton on Boxing Day was just the second Premier League victory they have secured in their last 10 attempts. Likewise, Saturday's hosts have lost four of their previous five Premier League encounters at home. Manchester United have lost just one of their last eight top-flight clashes - a streak dating back to October 2. England international Marcus Rashford has scored consecutive goals since returning from the World Cup break. Seven of the last eight meetings between Wolves and Manchester United have ended with less than 2.5 goals.Conclusion
While Wolves might have managed to open Lopetegui's tenure with a 2-1 win at Everton on Boxing Day, Saturday's hosts will know they face a tough test here. Watching United lay down a genuine scorer earlier in the week as they cruised to a 3-0 home game against Nottingham Forest, the former Premier League champions are rightly seen as a standout choice here. Having suffered just one defeat in the top flight since the start of October, Ten Hag's side will be desperate to break into the top four this weekend. Against a Wolves side who have now lost four of their last five Premier League encounters at Molineux, we back an away win here.
