Manchester United face a tough trip to Wolves in one of the standout ties of the FA Cup third-round draw.
United are aiming to bounce back from a miserable 2-0 defeat at Arsenal on New Year's Day as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer chases his first piece of silverware as Red Devils boss, while Nuno Espirito Santo's side will fancy their chances after beating United in this competition at Molineux last season.
Date: Saturday, January 4th, 2020
Venue: Molineux, Wolverhampton
Kick-off time: 5:31pm GMT.
Prediction: Wolves 1-1 Man Utd
With United hit by injuries and losing two of their last four matches, confidence is low. Much will depend on whether Wolves play on the front foo, as that could open up space for the visitors on the counter. Wolves have lost their last two games, but will fancy their chances of at least taking this to a replay.
