Manchester United’s surge up the Premier League standings was halted in a 2-2 draw with Leicester City on Boxing Day and they will be hoping to restart a fine run when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers. Going to this game, United are placed fourth in the league standings with 27 points while Wolverhampton Wanderers are 11th with 21 points. A late own goal by Axel Tuanzebe in the game against Leicester denied Manchester United a fourth straight win but they get to face Wolves with a five-match unbeaten run intact. They have three wins and two draws in their last five matches and in the five matches they have two clean sheets and have scored two or more in their last four matches. In the Premier League, Manchester United are unbeaten in the last eight matches and they have scored two or more goals in six of those while failing to score completely in one of the eight. However, in each of their last three league matches, United have conceded two goals. United’s home form has not been the best, but they’ve been improving lately, and go to this clash unbeaten in the last three though they have failed to score in three of their last five home matches in the league. They have two wins in their last nine league matches at home and though they are unbeaten in the last four matches against Wolves, they have managed just one win in the run. Matches between these two sides have produced under 2.5 goals in the last four.

Wolves on the other hand, needed a late goal to snatch a 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham Hotspur. It was a remarkable result for them, having conceded in the first minute of the game but it means they have now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight matches and have only one in the last 10. With just three wins in the last 10 matches, Wolves will be the firm underdogs here. They have scored two goals in three of their last 10 matches and trailed in their last three matches, going on to win one, draw one and lose the other. In terms of attack, Wolves’ most prolific moments have come in the final minutes of their recent matches; they have scored three of their last four goals in the last 10 minutes. Away from home, they have not done so well lately, heading here with three losses in their last four away matches and with no clean sheet in four. In three of their seven away league matches this season, Wolves have failed to score while they have conceded two or more goals in three. They have scored two or more goals in two of the seven matches.
