Most recent H2Hs: Encouragement for both teams
Although Man Utd dismantled Wolves 4-1 at Molineux at the beginning of December, they had lost their previous two encounters with the Old Gold. Wolves should take plenty of encouragement from their 1-0 triumph at Old Trafford on their last visit.

Man Utd preview: Midfield issues
Man Utd are short of options in the middle of the park, with Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo both expected to miss out again through injury. Mason Mount is also a doubt after being taken off at half-time last time out. Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire are also in the treatment room, while Noussair Mazraoui, Bryan Mbeumo and Amad are all at AFCON.
Predicted lineup: Lammens (GK), Dalot, Heaven, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dorgu, Cunha, Zirkzee, Sesko
Last five results
- Man Utd 1-0 Newcastle
- Aston Villa 2-1 Man Utd
- Man Utd 4-4 Bournemouth
- Wolves 1-4 Man Utd
- Man Utd 1-1 West Ham
Wolves preview: Hope after Anfield performance
Rob Edwards could stick with the same team that pushed Liverpool all the way at Anfield last time out. Edwards remains without Emmanuel Agbadou and Tawanda Chirewa due to AFCON, while Toti Gomes, Rodrigo Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, David Bentley and Mashall Munetsi are all injured.
Predicted lineup: Lammens (GK), Yoro, Heaven, Shaw, Dalot, Mainoo, Fernandes, Dorgu, Mount, Cunha, Sesko
Last five results
- Liverpool 2-1 Wolves
- Wolves 0-2 Brentford
- Arsenal 2-1 Wolves
- Wolves 1-4 Man Utd
- Wolves 0-1 Nottingham Forest
Player to watch: Benjamin Sesko
With Bryan Mbeumo and Amad at AFCON and Bruno Fernandes injured, the attacking responsibilities at Man Utd have fallen on Benjamin Sesko’s shoulders. The Slovenian has only scored two Premier League goals so far this season and that return simply isn’t good enough for Man Utd’s first choice striker.
