When Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Manchester United to Molineux on Thursday they have a chance to overtake their visitors in the Premier League table. The hosts lost 1-0 at Old Trafford earlier in the season, but are now unbeaten in seven across all competitions while the Red Devils have won two of their last three thanks largely to the recent FA Cup action. Wolves came out on top of bitter rivals West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns but the game was marred by crowd trouble. Gary O'Neil's side are second in the EPL form table since early December and are unbeaten in eight home games in the league. United are advancing nicely in the FA Cup but Premier League form places them ninth. Erik ten Hag's men need to better their four wins, three draws and five losses from the last 12 games across all competitions and Marcus Rashford's recent disciplinary issues will not have helped.
