The Red Devils have won just two of their last 12 away EPL fixtures. Wolves have lost seven straight EPL fixtures and sit 13 points off safety.

Match: Wolves v Man Utd
When: Monday, 08 Dec 2025

Wolves Form

Wolves have lost 15 of their last 18 English Premier League matches. They drew 1-1 away at Tottenham and 1-1 at home to Brighton. A 2-0 loss at Sunderland a 3-2 home defeat to Burnley followed, as they leaked a 95th-minute goal.

A 4-3 home loss followed in the Carabao Cup to Chelsea. They lost 3-0 with ten men at Fulham, which coach Vitor Pereira dismissed. They’ve since lost 3-0 at Chelsea and 2-0 vs Crystal Palace. A 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa saw 17 shots allowed, before a 1-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest. They mustered just five shots in that home loss.

Wolves Team News

Midfielder Marshall Munetsi is doubtful with a calf problem. Ladislav Krejčí is nearing a return in defence from a knee injury. Joao Gomes is suspended in the engine room.

This could be a last match for four African players who are headed to the AFCON: Zimbabwean Marshall Munetsi, Ivory Coast centre back Emmanuel Agbadou, and Nigeria striker Tolu Arokodare.

Wolves Motivation

Rob Edwards may use a back five in this game to try to be solid. A draw would stop the rot and feel like a big result.

Wolves won’t be too open, but they do possess speed and power in the attack to hurt Man Utd.

Man Utd Form

United have six wins in their last 11 EPL matches, but it’s just one win in the last five. After winning three straight matches, they needed a late goal to rescue a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest. A 2-2 draw at Tottenham required a 96th-minute equaliser.

A poor display against Everton, facing ten men for 77 minutes and having 25 shots, saw a 1-0 home defeat. The Red Devils came from a goal down to win 2-1 at Crystal Palace but could only draw their last match. They conceded in the 83^rd minute to draw 1-1 at home to West Ham with 1.80 xG produced.

Man Utd Team News

Central defender Harry Maguire and striker Benjamin Sesko are both ruled out for this match. Matheus Cunha could be preferred to Mason Mount, whilst Bryan Mbuemo and Amad Diallo play potentially their final match before the AFCON.

Joshua Zirkzee is set to play up front again. Matthijs De Ligt and Diogo Dalot should shake off knocks to start this match. Noussair Mazraoui could keep his place in the back three ahead of AFCON duty with Morocco.

Man Utd Motivation

The Red Devils will have gained some confidence from winning their last away match. They will go to Wolves and expect nothing less than a win.

Amorim’s side will look to attack and to dominate the match. They can’t play a pragmatic game against the bottom-placed club.
