Wolves vs Manchester United – Match Preview and Team News

Wolves vs Manchester United – Match Preview and Team NewsMatchweek 15 concludes under the lights at Molineux on Monday night as bottom-of-the-table Wolves host Manchester United. This fixture is fraught with pressure for both managers. Rob Edwards’ side are enduring a nightmare campaign as they sit on just two points. They have equalled the fewest points ever at this stage of a top-flight season. They face a Manchester United team that arrives off the back of a demoralising 1-1 draw with West Ham.However, the Red Devils have found some form on the road recently. While Wolves completed a league double over United last season, they are currently staring down the barrel of relegation. Consequently, this match is a must-win for the hosts as they sit 12 points adrift of safety.Wolves vs Manchester United – Match Preview and Team NewsDate: Monday, 8 December 2025Kick-off: 20:00 GMTVenue: Molineux Stadium, WolverhamptonReferee: Michael SalisburyVAR: Nicholas HoptonLast Meeting: Manchester United 0-1 Wolves, 20 April 2025, Premier LeagueTeam NewsWolvesRob Edwards has a significant selection headache in midfield. João Gomes is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Nottingham Forest. Furthermore, Marshall Munetsi is a major doubt after hobbling off with a calf injury in the same match. There are also questions over Ladislav Krejčí, whose fitness remains uncertain after missing the last two games. On a brighter note, Matt Doherty returned to the bench midweek and could start.Manchester UnitedRúben Amorim is hopeful that defensive duo Diogo Dalot and Matthijs de Ligt will be fit to feature. Dalot signalled for a substitution after scoring against West Ham last time out. However, the manager expects both to be available. Harry Maguire and Benjamin Šeško remain absent through injury. The manager may continue to rotate his midfield, though he insisted his selection depends on putting the best players on the pitch.FormWolvesWolves are in freefall. They have lost their last seven Premier League games consecutively. Even more concerning is their lack of cutting-edge. They have failed to score in their last five outings. This is their longest ever run of defeats without a goal in league history. Their home form on Mondays offers little comfort either, having won just one of their last 10 games played on this day.Manchester UnitedWhile their home form has been erratic, United have found solace on the road. They are unbeaten in their last four away Premier League matches. This run includes victories at Liverpool and Crystal Palace. Historically, however, they have struggled against bottom sides at Molineux. Indeed, 25% of United’s Premier League losses against teams starting the day bottom have come at this ground.Predicted LineupsWolvespredicted XI: Johnstone; Mosquera, Toti, Agbadou; Doherty, André, Bellegarde, Wolfe; Arias, Hwang; LarsenManchester United predicted XI: Lammens; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Shaw; Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; ZirkzeeHow to watch Wolves vs Manchester United?The match will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
