Wolves vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League commentary stream, TV channel, latest score, line-ups, prediction

Wolves vs Man Utd
Premier League 2019/20 season
Venue: Molineux
Kick-off time: 8pm BST

Manchester United hope to make it two wins from two as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer prepares his side for a tough away test against Wolves tonight.

Man Utd started the 2019-20 campaign in perfect fashion with a thumping 4-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday as summer signings Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James impressed to cap a perfect day at Old Trafford.

But while United took full advantage of a chaotic Chelsea performance, Monday's trip to face Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolves - who went unbeaten against the Red Devils last term - will likely prove a better test of United's ambitions for the coming campaign.

Wolves vs Man Utd team news and predicted lineups

With the exception of Eric Bailly, who is facing another lengthy spell on the sidelines, United have a clean bill of health - and Solskjaer will find it hard to drop anyone from the XI which beat Chelsea.

Alexis Sanchez is working back to match fitness, while young goalkeeper Joel Pereira has left the club on loan for Hearts.

Axel Tuanzebe was selected on the bench against Chelsea as United's back-up centre-back with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling left out, and could be included in the 18-man squad once again.

Andreas Pereira impressed in place of Nemanja Matic with an assist last weekend, and should keep his place unless Matic has a dramatic turnaround in training this week.

Of the forward line against Chelsea, Jesse Lingard was the quietest - and Solskjaer may opt for either Juan Mata's nous or Daniel James' pace instead.

Wolves have no fresh injury concerns for the visit of United.

Wolves XI: Rui Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Castro, Jimenez, Jota

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Pereira, McTominay, Pogba, Mata, Martial, Rashford


Prediction: Wolves 0-1 Man Utd

United fans and players are riding high on confidence following their big win over Chelsea, but the 4-0 scoreline flattered to deceive in some respects.

The Red Devils were under heavy pressure early doors, but rode out the storm before some clinical finishing on the break put Chelsea to the sword.

Wolves are unlikely to be as forgiving as Chelsea were in defence, and much will depend on whether Nuno allows United to have more of the ball or risk taking the game to Solskjaer and letting his front line counter.

Solskjaer would probably take a goalless draw right now as that would represent progress from last season, when Wolves took four points off United and dumped them out of the FA Cup - but the visitors will fancy nicking this game on the break.
