England Premier League

Kick off at 8:15pm GMT
Venue: Molineux Stadium
Match Preview:
Wolves are in 11th place and even though they drew their latest game which was a 0-0 against Brighton they are currently on a four game unbeaten run. The club have been able to climb up to 29 points and will be more than safe this season and the objective now will be to move into the top half of the table and stay there. This could be achieved in midweek if they were to win this game and if Chelsea lost when they faced Liverpool, the night before. Wolves have been one of the best in form sides and they swiftly moved into the next round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion which was sadly marred by fan violence. Home form has seen a 50% win rate with just two defeats but let’s zoom in on recent home form only and that is encouraging news for the club. They are unbeaten in their last five and have won 4 of those matches with victories over Tottenham, Burnley, Chelsea and in their last game here they easily beat Everton 3-0.
Manchester United had an embarrassing scare in the FA Cup when Newport came back from two goals down to drag the game back to 2-2. However United’s quality finally showed and the Red Devils went on to win 4-2 with much relief. In the league form has been patchy with just 4 points won from their last 12 and they have lost recently against West Ham and Nottingham Forest, the clubs latest game finished in a 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham. Erik ten Hag’s side are down in 9th place but if results work their way they could go as high as 7th. For now the club remains 11 points from a top four spot and this continues to be an underwhelming and inconsistent season for the club. To make matters worse disciplinary has reared its ugly head again and Marcus Rashford is the latest player to be cautioned in what looks like a very unstable dressing room. On the road Ten Hag’s side have lost 50% of their games and have no wins in their last four trips, indeed their last victory away came against Everton two months ago.

Wolves vs Man Utd Prediction:
We know about the qualities of Manchester United and they will start as the favourites to win this game. But we are tempted to back the home side, with some caution this can be done on the double chance as the value for a home win in this evening's game is very good. Wolves' latest form has been very encouraging and while they lack the quality of United’s squad they seem like a team who is listening and is with their manager more than what United can provide us right now.
If United click they will win here but their recent away form is poor and even overall we are not convinced to really feel confident about the team at this present time. With Ten Hag in charge everytime it seems that the club are taking a step forwards in comes the sideway step. Wolves can add to the club's misery this season and they are great value to do so.
