Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester United

Out-of-sorts Wolverhampton Wanderers play host to milestone chasers Manchester United at Molineux Stadium in an exciting Premier League match-up.

Bruno Lage still awaits to see Wolverhampton’s first goal in the Premier League this term, having led his new employers to back-to-back defeats to the likes of Leicester and Tottenham in the opening two rounds. As a result, Wolves take the field on a run of five consecutive top-flight losses, four of which saw them fail to get on the scoresheet. Indeed, the ‘Wanderers’ go into this encounter in the midst of a severe crisis that has seen them lose five of their last seven home Premier League fixtures (W2), as many reverses as they had in their previous 20 top-flight outings at Molineux (W9, D6). That, coupled with a brace of single-goal margin defeats in last season’s Premier League H2Hs, promises another painful weekend for underperforming Wolverhampton.

Meanwhile, Manchester United thrashed Leeds United 5-1 at home to get their new Premier League campaign off to a flyer but could only manage a 1-1 draw away to Southampton last time out. Despite failing to beat the ‘Saints,’ Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are on the cusp of making history. Unbeaten in 27 away Premier League matches on the trot (W17, D10), the ‘Red Devils’ could become the first club in the top-flight history to go 28 straight league trips without losing if they avoid defeat here. Interestingly, Man United conceded the opening goal in ten of their 19 away Premier League games last term without ever losing (W9, D1), which was the case in their most recent trip to Southampton. That said, the visitors have conceded an average of just 0.46 goals per match across their 13 top-flight trips this calendar year. United’s defensive prowess can only improve once summer signing Raphael Varane makes the starting line-up.
