Premier League: Wolves vs Manchester United Live
Preview
Wolves have the opportunity to overtake Manchester United in the Premier League standings if they win their upcoming match at Molineux on Thursday. The home team is looking to avenge their previous 1-0 loss to the Red Devils in a contentious match at Old Trafford last August.
Wolves continued their unbeaten streak in all competitions to seven matches with a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup fourth round. However, the match was marred by crowd trouble at The Hawthorns. Pedro Neto scored in the first half, followed by a 78th-minute goal from Matheus Cunha. The game was suspended for around 38 minutes due to unsavory scenes in one corner of the ground, leading to six arrests and injuries to supporters and police officers.
Despite the off-field violence, Wolves’ manager Gary O’Neil praised his team’s performance and emphasized the need to refocus on the Premier League. Wolves have been in good form, picking up the second-most points in the Premier League since December 5 and maintaining an unbeaten home record in their last eight Premier League games at Molineux.
Two weeks after drawing 2-2 with Spurs at home in the Premier League, Manchester United secured their spot in the FA Cup fifth round with an exciting 4-2 victory over Newport County on Sunday. Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo scored early goals, but Newport County managed to equalize before Antony and Rasmus Hojlund secured the win for Manchester United. Despite winning two of their last three games, the team’s inconsistent form has left fans frustrated, and manager Erik ten Hag is facing the challenge of improving their performance and climbing from eighth place in the Premier League table.
Head-to-head
Manchester United has a strong track record against Wolves, having won their last three encounters and remaining unbeaten in their last five matches at this stadium.
Prediction
In 13 out of the last 14 encounters between the two teams, the matches have either resulted in draws or been won by a one-goal margin. Another close game is expected on Thursday. Wolves have performed well in important matches this season and have a strong record at home. However, Man United have a history of achieving positive results against Wolves and may do enough to secure a draw in their upcoming match at Molineux.
