Why you should back Manchester United
The Red Devils are 7-3-1 in the past 11 overall meetings with Wolves, outscoring them 8-1 in the past seven EPL matchups. They have won three of their past five matches overall, scoring 12 goals over that span. The defense has struggled and the attackers have been in a slump in league play. Yet Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund, who both scored in Sunday's victory, have combined for 15 goals in all competitions. Only nine have come in league play, so it has been a matter of timing.
Scott McTominay (five goals) and Alejandro Garnacho (three) also can come through in a pinch. Manchester United's defense has actually been better away from Old Trafford. The Red Devils have yielded 18 goals in 11 home games but 11 in 10 on the road. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Wolves
Wolves have been in far better recent form and have been tough to beat on home soil. They are 6-3-1 in their past 10 matches overall and 5-3-0 in their past eight EPL matches at home. Pedro Neto and Matheus Cunha have taken the reins of the attack with top scorer Hwang Hee-Chan (10 goals) on international duty at the Asian Cup. They scored the goals in Sunday's victory over West Brom, and Cunha has six goals and five assists in league play. Neto is tied for third in the Premier League with seven assists.
The hosts have scored 30 goals, middle of the pack in the league, while United have scored 24, tied for fourth-fewest. Manchester United also have been one of the least accurate shooting teams, putting just 30.1% of their shots on target. Man United have allowed the fourth-most shots in the league (315), while Wolverhampton have the second-most blocked shots in the EPL (97). See which team to pick here.
