Man United vs Wolves prediction and preview 

A high-flying Manchester United will know that a win against Wolves on Tuesday night will take them within two points of league leaders and arch-rivals Liverpool. The Red Devils drew against Leicester on Boxing Day, despite dominating passages of play in a game they'll certainly look back at as a missed chance to plug the gap to the top of the Premier League standings. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are fourth in the table, and a win will propel them to second, after Leicester's draw against Crystal Palace on Monday.

Wolves meanwhile have had an average season so far. The injury to talisman Raul Jimenez has further hurt their chances. However, Nuno Espirito Santo's side will be encouraged by Man United's poor home record this season and will look to make the most of it when the two sides meet on Tuesday. Wolves have won only one of their last five games and find themselves at 11th in the Premier League standings. However, a win could see them leap past West Ham to 10th on the table. Manchester United are favourites for the clash, but like Leicester on Boxing Day, Wolves do retain the quality to split points or take all three at Old Trafford.

Man United vs Wolves team news

Victor Lindelof, who deputised at right-back against Leicester, struggled to play with pain and was taken off in the second half. He is likely to miss out on the game against Wolves. The Red Devils are yet to reveal details on Aaron Wan-Bissaka's injury, and it is unlikely that he will return to the side. Axel Tuanzebe could feature at right-back and left-back Brandon Williams could make his first Premier League start of the season. Rotation will be key for Solskjaer and the likes of Dean Henderson, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Donny van de Beek could all get back into the starting XI with the Red Devils having just 72 hours of rest between their games.

For Wolves, Marcal is likely to be rested after he struggled near the end of the game last time out, with Rayan Ait-Nouri likely to return to the starting line-up. Leander Dendoncker and Willy Boly also remain major doubts as they watched the game against Spurs from the stands, along with long-term absentees Raul Jimenez and Jonny Otto. Despite his poor form, Adama Traore is set to retain his place in the starting line-up, along with the Portuguese trio of Neto, Silva and Podence.
