Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United will round off this weekend’s Premier League action when the pair meet at Molineux on Monday night.
Wolves are marooned at the bottom of the table with just two points to their name and remain winless following 14 rounds of top-flight action. The new manager bounce that Wolves were looking for from Rob Edwards has yet to materialise, with the hosts suffering three straight defeats under their latest boss' watch.
As a consequence, Wolves’ relegation fears have intensified, with the Old Gold currently a distant 12 points from safety.
Meanwhile, Manchester United were unable to follow up on last weekend's 2-1 win away at Crystal Palace when being held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
That stalemate left Ruben Amorim’s side occupying eighth place in the Premier League standings ahead of this weekend’s action getting underway.
How the bookies view it: More woe for Wolves
Given the nightmare season that they are enduring, it’s no surprise to see rock-bottom Wolves priced up as 7/2 outsiders with bet365.
Three of the visitors' last five Premier League matches have ended all square and the same outcome on Monday night can be backed at 3/1 on bet365 while a Man United victory is strongly fancied at 8/11 with the same firm.
Head to head: Wolves’ recent record up to scratch
Wolves can perhaps draw some confidence from the fact that they claimed maximum points from each of their two Premier League meetings with Manchester United last season. Impressively, Wolves kept a clean sheet in each of those two victories, and a repeat here pays a whopping 8/1 on bet365.
Players to watch: Mbeumo to make his mark?
Having registered either a goal or an assist across five of his last eight Premier League appearances, Bryan Mbeumo offers value to deliver another goal involvement on Monday night at 5/6 with PaddyPower.
While Jorgen Strand Larsen has struggled for goals this season, he remains Wolves’ biggest goal threat, making the Norwegian forward worthy of support to hit the target at least once during this contest at 7/10 on BetVictor.
Predicted line-ups
Joao Gomes will serve a one-match suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season in midweek, while Daniel Bentley, Leon Chiwome and Rodrigo Gomes are all on the Wolves injury list.
Matthijs de Ligt is back in contention for Manchester United after sitting out Thursday's stalemate with West Ham, however both Benjamin Sesko and Harry Maguire are expected to miss out again on Monday night.
Wolves: Johnstone; Mosquera, Toti, Agbadou; Doherty, Andre, Bellegarde, Wolfe; Arias, Hwang; Larsen
Manchester United: Lammens; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Shaw; Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Zirkzee
Anything else catch the eye?
Manchester United look well placed to score two or more goals on Monday night at 8/11 on Ladbrokes.
The Red Devils have racked up two strikes in each of their last four Premier League fixtures away from Old Trafford.
That doesn’t augur well for a Wolves side that has conceded two goals or more in five of their seven top-flight tussles on home turf this term.
