Well, think this one is cut and dry? So did we last season in this corresponding fixture, when Wolves popped up with a surprise 2-1 victory last February. However, Wolves look a bit of a spent force at the moment and they really didn’t want to see this fixture looming. Wolves are in a terrible slump, winning just one of their last fourteen Premier League matches, which clearly signals relegation form. They have conceded a hefty fourteen goals in their last four league matches alone, including a really poor showing at home in their last match, when fellow strugglers Blackburn were pretty much handed three points in a 2-0 win. Wolves have been very poor in their last two matches, and perhaps sacking Mick McCarthy has sapped whatever fighting spirit they had left.
It doesn’t look pretty for Wolves at the moment, and they have managed just three home wins all season, and their stat of scoring first in just 18% of their matches, paints a big story. They are always struggling to come from behind in matches. Incidentally, Wolves haven’t scored in the first fifteen minutes of a Premier League match this season. Steven Fletcher is their best route to goal, but the defence is just bad at the moment. Wolves have conceded in each of their last twenty five matches and are without a win in seven home matches. So not the kind of form which suggests that a repeat shock result is going to rear its head on Sunday. Far from it.
So it was finally sounded out that United are a great side for the Premier League this season, but not for Europe. After failing to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League, the Red Devils landed in the Europa League. There they squeezed past Ajax, suffering a defeat at Old Trafford in the second leg, and were dumped out by Athletic Bilbao who totally owned United over the two legs. United managed just one home win out of five European ties, and suffered back to back losses against Ajax and Bilbao. While United were made to look very average by a very good Athletic Bilbao side in both legs, United are arguably still the best Premier League team around. Especially in terms of dealing with the pressures of the title race, and squeezing out wins in close matches.
United’s form in the Premier League can’t be argued with at all, with seven wins in their last eight matches, the other being a draw at Stamford Bridge which the Red Devils earned after being three nil down. Wayne Rooney is red hot at the moment, scoring seven goals in his last five league matches. Sir Alex Ferguson’s crew are the best away team in the Premier League, and have a fantastic W10 D3 L1 record away from home. They are conceding at less than a goal a match away from home, and scoring on average just over two per game. Can Wolves trouble them, or is all of this just going to be a routine three points to keep them on top of the pile? It could be a massive three points too, with Man City hosting Chelsea in midweek.
