Match preview

Wolves' dismal run in the Premier League shows no sign of stopping, having failed to secure a win this season. 

After 14 games, the team is stuck at the bottom of the table with a mere two points, a total matched only by the joint-lowest tally at this stage in English top-flight history.

Their latest result, a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in midweek, marks the Old Gold's seventh consecutive Premier League loss and their fifth in a row without scoring a goal.

A recent run of disappointing results, including a 1-1 home draw against West Ham in midweek, has cost Manchester United valuable points, preventing them from keeping pace with the top three ahead of this weekend.

The performance in that draw drew the anger of the home crowd and has intensified the pressure on manager Ruben Amorim, whose side has managed only one win in their last five matches.

Man United's dominance in this fixture has recently faced challenges, marked by a disappointing run of results. 

Last season, Wolves secured a double over the Red Devils, claiming both league encounters with a 2-0 home victory and a 1-0 win away. 

Despite this, the balance in the last five league meetings remains slightly in United's favour, with three wins to Wolves' two.
