Manchester United could record best-ever away run against Wolves
Dale O'Donnell
Manchester United will be looking to record their best-ever away run against Wolves when they travel to Molineux on New Year’s Eve.
Erik ten Hag will be urging his players to make it three wins from three since the mid-season break. His aim right now will be to build momentum towards a top four finish and United should be able to beat Wolves this weekend.
United are currently fifth in the Premier League and they face a Wolves side placed inside the relegation zone.
The Red Devils are unbeaten in each of their last four visits to Molineux across all competitions, including back-to-back victories in their two most recent trips. However, should United win on Saturday, they will record three successive Premier League victories at Molineux for the first time.
United are the favourites ahead of the match and we’ve not lost our final league game in any of the last 10 calendar years with seven wins and three draws. The last defeat came against Blackburn Rovers in 2011.
Preview: Wolves vs Manchester United
Lisandro Martinez could return following his return from the World Cup final.
Julen Lopetegui got his first league win as Wolves manager against Everton on Boxing Day. He will be hoping for a repeat of that 2-1 result at Goodison Park.
Chinquinho, Pedro Neto and Sasa Kalajdzic have all been ruled out for the home team.
