Why you should back Manchester United 

The Red Devils face a Wolves side that has struggled badly on the road this season. In 17 away matches, Wolverhampton have just two wins and five draws, losing 10 times. In their last road match, Wolves were humiliated, 6-0, by Brighton. Only Nottingham Forest (eight goals) have scored fewer away goals than Wolves (12) this season.

In addition, Manchester United still have much on the line entering Saturday. The Red Devils are looking to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League table and a berth in the Champions League for next season. Meanwhile, Wolves are safe from relegation and have little incentive to win on Saturday. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back Wolves

Wolverhampton face a Manchester United side that is in a late-season slump. The Red Devils have lost their last two matches, to West Ham and Brighton & Hove Albion, both by 1-0 scores. The results would be insignificant if the club didn't have any motivation, but United still are playing for a top-four finish and a Champions League berth.

In addition, Manchester United are not close to full-strength entering the match. Raphaël Varane remains out while recovering from an ankle injury, and Lisandro Martínez will miss the rest of the season with a fractured foot. Varane and Martínez are the team's two best defenders, which means ten Hag will have to field a patchwork defense. See which team to pick here.
