PRVWHT: Manchester United 0-0. Not many clear cut chances and nothing separates the sides as we go in at the break level.
-
PRVWUnited won the last meeting between the sides a few weeks ago; 1-0 in the FA Cup. The last league match at Old Trafford was 1-1 in 2018, but Wolves haven't won there since 1980. That was also in February- scary.
-
PRVWOf course, the big news is that Bruno Fernandes will make his Manchester United debut. I wonder if he will get on the scoresheet.

PRVWWolves XI: Rui Patricio, Coady, Boly, Saiss, Doherty, Joao Moutinho, Neves, Jonny, Traore, Jimenez, Jota.
