Wolves meet Manchester United at Molineux in the Premier League on Tuesday night. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men defeated Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s charges when these two teams locked horns in the FA Cup quarter-finals last month.
The hosts will be hoping for a confidence-boosting performance ahead of Sunday's FA Cup semi-final clash with Watford at Wembley.
Solskjaer’s side, though, are targeting a top four finish and a place in next season's Champions League.
Latest odds
Manchester United have failed to win either of their previous two tussles with Wolves thus far this term. Nevertheless, the visitors are William Hill’s 19/20 (1.95) favourites to take all three points.
Michael Regan
Santo’s side are a 14/5 (3.80) shot to come out on top in front of their own fans. William Hill offer 13/5 (3.60) that this contest ends in deadlock – as it did when these sides last met in the Premier League.
Team News
Santo could shuffle his pack and rest some first-team regulars ahead of Sunday’s crunch clash with the Hornets.
Alexis Sanchez and Matteo Darmian remain sidelined while Romelu Lukaku was an unused substitute in the weekend win over Watford.
Marcus Rashford scored United’s goal on their most recent visit to Molineux. The 21-year-old striker has been rejuvenated under Solskjaer’s stewardship and struck the opening goal at Old Trafford last time out.
Both teams to make their mark
Wolves have scored in each of their last seven games at Molineux while United have scored in 15 of their 16 Premier League matches on the road this term.
Goal
There is, therefore, plenty of potential for the goals to flow here. William Hill go 17/20 (1.85) that both teams find the net. The same firm go 21/20 (2.05) that there are at least three goals scored.
Prediction
Wolves’ impending trip to Wembley could mean that the hosts lack focus on this occasion.
The men from Manchester could be well-placed to take advantage – but Solskjaer’s side may not have things entirely their own way.
William Hill’s 3/1 (4.0) quote for United to win and both teams to score could therefore offer value. This selection has proved correct four of the visitors' last six matches in all competitions.
