Man Utd Preview: Historical victory
In midweek, with the aggregate score beginning at 2-2, Manchester United went into a 2-0 lead at home to Olympique Lyonnais in the second-leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final before Lyon produced a comeback to take the game into extra-time despite going down to ten.
Then, despite being down to ten men, Lyon went into a 4-2 lead in Manchester in the second-half of extra-time. However, with three late goals from Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and then Harry Maguire, Manchester United produced one of the all-time European comebacks.
Wolves Preview: Impressive Wolves
Ever since the appointment of former Porto boss Vitor Pereira in mid-December, Wolverhampton Wanderers have been much-improved as they try to push themselves further into the middle-of-the-table and well clear of the bottom three and the relegation places.
Their impressive run of form continued last weekend as they defeated Tottenham Hotspur by four goals to two at Molineux thanks to an own goal as well as strikes from Jorgen Strand Larsen, Rayan Ait-Nouri as well as the returning Matheus Cunha.
Man Utd Team News: Zirkzee out
It was confirmed in the week that Netherlands international striker Joshua Zirkzee would miss the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury. Both Victor Lindelof and Noussair Mazraoui are expected to return having dealt with ‘personal issues’ in midweek.
Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Mainoo, Ugarte, Amass; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
Unavailable: Martinez (Injured), Heaven (Injured), De Ligt (Injured), Collyer (Injured), Diallo (Injured), Zirkzee (Injured)
Questionable: Evans (Fitness), Lindelof (Personal reasons), Mazraoui (Personal reasons)
Wolves Team News: A few doubts
Matheus Cunha returned from suspension on the bench last weekend but he could start this week given the fact that both Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Hwang Hee-chan are doubts. Pedro Lima and Sam Johnstone are now among the confirmed absentees for Wolves.
Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Sa; Bueno, Agbadou, Toti; Semedo, Andre, J. Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Cunha; Strand Larsen
Unavailable: Johnstone (Injured), Mosquera (Injured), Lima (Injured), Chiwone (Injured), Gonzalez (Injured), Kalajdzic (Injured)
Questionable: Doherty (Injured), Bellegarde (Injured), Hwang (Injured)
Man Utd vs Wolves Prediction
Manchester United produced a remarkable comeback in midweek and that will overshadow an hour of football that had them on the verge of one of their more humbling and embarrassing defeats in a decade chocked full of humiliating losses – one of which came last weekend as they were hammered 4-1 by Newcastle United at St James’ Park. Wolves simply look more cohesive and well adjusted than United under Pereira and, even away from home, will fancy their chances of exploiting a disorganised side that may well be feeling some physical and emotional fatigue at Old Trafford this weekend.
Man Utd vs Wolves Tip: Double chance – Wolves to win or draw
