Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to visit Old Trafford to take on Manchester United, seeking crucial points following their recent defeat at Anfield. Wolves remain at the bottom of the Premier League table, with only two points after 18 games, and are still in search of their first win this season. Manchester United, sitting sixth, will play at home with a squad that has been hit by injuries but remains favored to win. Here’s our predicted lineup for Wolves.
Wolves Predicted Lineup vs Manchester United
Wolves Recent Form
This season has been tough for Wolves, who hold the league’s worst defensive record, having scored just 10 goals and currently on an 11-game losing streak. In their last match, they lost 2-1 to Liverpool, with José Sá as goalkeeper and a back three of Ladislav Krejčí, Santiago Bueno, and Yerson Mosquera.
The midfield featured Hugo Bueno, João Gomes, André, and Matt Doherty, while the attacking trio included Mateus Mané, Hwang Hee-chan, and Tolu Arokodare.
Current Tactics and Performance
The team’s Premier League performance has been disappointing. Wolves are without a win and sit at the bottom of the table, having the fewest points recorded by a team at Christmas in Premier League history. The team struggles defensively and lacks an attacking threat, conceding the most goals and scoring the least.
Rob Edwards typically uses a 3-5-2 formation to ensure a solid defensive setup. However, the team faces challenges due to limited creativity in midfield and difficulty in applying pressure on opposing defenses.
Injuries and Suspensions
André will miss the match due to suspension after receiving five yellow cards. During his press conference, Edwards mentioned that Santiago Bueno may not be fit after sustaining an injury against Liverpool:
“Santiago took a knock, so Krejčí might have to play at the back. If that’s the case, we need to look for another option in midfield and assess how everyone trains.”
Emmanuel Agbadou is participating in AFCON, while Toti Gomes and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are also unavailable due to injuries.
Predicted Lineup for Wolves
GK: José Sá
Defence: Yerson Mosquera – Ladislav Krejčí – Matt Doherty
Midfield: Hugo Bueno – João Gomes – Fer López – David Møller Wolfe
Forwards: Hwang Hee-chan – Tolu Arokodare – Mateus Mané
