Our featured English Premier League match taking place on Thursday sees Manchester United face an awkward looking away fixture at Wolves
Wolves
Wolves had too much for West Brom in the FA Cup fourth round at the weekend and they came away with a 2-0 win. After a 0-0 draw at Brighton they finished the previous round of league games just below half way in the standings and they return to home truf where recent form is very decent.
Wolves lost their first 2 hoe matches before going on to win 5 and draw 3 of the next 8 including victory over Chelseaa (2-1) and then Everton (3-0) either wide of Xmas.
Manchester United
United were given a big scare of their FA Cup fourth round clash with Newport on Sunday but they eventually came through with a 4-2 win.
They have won just 1 of their last 6 league games alongside 2 draws and 3 defeats and were fortunate to earn a 2-2 draw at home to Spurs in mid January. Prior to that they lost 2-1 at Forest and 2-0 at West Ham and they come into the midweek program in eighth position, 8 points behind fifth placed Spurs and 11 shy of a top 4 spot. Looking the other way they are just 3 points better off than their opponents here.
Recent Head to Head
The first league meeting this season took place at Old Trafford on the opening weekend and United were fortunate to edge it 1-0
Both of last season's league meetings finished in wins for United 1-0 away from home and 2-0 at Old Trafford.
The Betting
At the time of writing Wolves are trading at 17/10 to win the game with the draw priced at 26/10 and United can be backed at around 15/10
A game of 3 goals or more is priced at 7/10 and it's 6/10 for both teams to score
The Verdict:
Wolves are a tough nit to crack at home but whilst it wouldn't come as a surprise to me if they won this I really like the draw here.
