Manchester United travel to the West Midlands to take on a crisis-stricken Wolverhampton Wanderers side who are rooted to the foot of the English Premier League table. The game will take place under the lights of the Molyneux from 8:00 pm local time. Here in the United States, that means a start time of 3:00 pm Eastern Standard Time and 12:00 noon Pacific Standard Time.
For hosts Wolves, the recent appointment of new head coach Rob Edwards has done little to stop the rot. Since being put in the hot seat, The Wanderers have lost three consecutive games against Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest. Twelve points adrift from safety, Wolves' biggest issue this season has been a blunt attack that has averaged just one goal every two matches. Combine that with the worst defence in the division, conceding 29 goals from 14 matches, and it is a perfect recipe for relegation.
The discontent and disillusionment from Wolves' fanbase is one that is shared by those of their visitors tonight. Manchester United's biggest issue in this Premier League season so far has been consistency. The satisfaction of a big win away from home over high-flying Crystal Palace was quickly erased by the disappointment of a tepid 1-1 draw at home to West Ham. It was that Ruben Amorim called for a team debrief after seeing his side booed off the field by sections of the Old Trafford faithful. Despite the pressure mounting on Amorim, United do remain in touching distance of the Champions League places with only Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa beyond one game reach.

Wolverhampton Wanderers team news
Wolves will be without Joao Gomes for the game after the midfielder picked up his fifth booking of the season in the loss against Nottingham Forest. Another notable absentee will be Marshall Munetsi, who picked up a knock in the same game.
Rob Edwards will be hoping to have Ladislav Krejci and Matt Doherty available. The former is back training, albeit away from the rest of the group. Doherty, meanwhile, was fit enough to return to the bench against Forest and may be included in the start eleven to give Edwards' side some much needed experience.
Manchester United team news
Former Manchester United favorite Paul Scholes branded Amorim's handling of precocious midfield talent Kobbie Mainoo "bulls***".
Having broken into Manchester United's team under previous boss Erik Ten Hag, making enough of an impression to become a starter for England in their run to the EURO 2024 final, Mainoo has struggled to consistently make the team under Amorim who sees him as unfit to play in his preferred 5-2-3 system.
In defence, Amorim will be forced to wait on the OK for both Matijs De Ligt and Harry Maguire. Benjamin Sesko is out and more likely to return in this upcoming weekend's fixture against Bournemouth.
