Wolves vs Manchester United Prediction: 9/4 away day joy for United?

The Premier League weekend concludes with a Monday night clash at Molineux (20:00 GMT, live on Sky Sports Premier League) as Wolverhampton Wanderers host Manchester United.

Wolves are yet to taste victory in the league this season, while United are unbeaten in their last four away trips. Read on for my Wolves vs Manchester United predictions, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Joao Gomes is ruled out through suspension for the hosts, so Jean-Ricner Bellegarde could replace him in the engine room, especially since Marshall Munetsi is expected to miss out with a calf problem.

Matt Doherty has missed the hosts' last three games, while Rodrigo Gomes remains absent for the foreseeable future.

Matthijs de Ligt was ruled out of the West Ham game not long before kick-off through injury, although Ruben Amorim has said he expects to have him available for Monday's trip to Molinuex.

Harry Maguire was forced off against Tottenham before the November international break due to a thigh injury, and the England international again missed out against West Ham, but he could potentially return at Molineux.

Benjamin Sesko isn't too far away from returning for the visitors, but Monday's clash is expected to come too soon for him.

Wolves vs Manchester United Odds

The home side are 10/3, the draw is 11/4 and the visitors are 4/5, giving them an implied win probability of 55.6%.

Bryan Mbeumo is currently favourite to score anytime at 7/5, while Matheus Cunha is 13/8 to net against his former club, and Jorgen Strand Larsen is shortest-priced for the hosts at 2/1.

First Team to Score - Wolves @ 6/4

Despite Wolves' poor start to the season, I can't help but feel Wolves will be quick out of the blocks on Monday night as they desperately search for a maiden win.

Now, backing Wolves to score might look bold considering they've not netted in each of their last five games, but there's method behind the madness. United have kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 games, and given their defensive frailties, I do think Wolves can get on the scoresheet.

In addition, Amorim's side have found themselves in a losing position as some point in each of four of their last five matches, so I'm backing the hosts to break the deadlock.

Manchester United to win and both teams to score @ 9/4

Following on from my first tip, I'm backing United to prevail and win Monday's contest.

My reasoning is fairly simple - the Reds have scored and conceded in five of their last six games, but are the stronger team based on form.

United should have been Everton and West Ham United in their recent matches but started both games poorly, but they haven't lost away from home since the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City back in September, gaining  draw away at the likes of Spurs and Nottingham Forest, while beating Liverpool and Crystal Palace.
