Get ready for an exciting Premier League clash as Manchester United takes on Wolves at Old Trafford, a match that promises to be a thrilling end to 2025!
The Battle for Pride and Momentum
United, fresh from their Boxing Day victory over Newcastle, aim to finish the year on a high note. However, Wolves, the bottom-placed team, are determined to turn their fortunes around and end their historic losing streak.
Team News and Absences
United will be without their captain, Bruno Fernandes, who is still recovering from an injury sustained against Aston Villa. Fellow midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is also out due to injury, and Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Mason Mount is a doubt after feeling discomfort during the Newcastle game. On the other hand, Wolves will be missing Brazilian midfielder Andre, serving a one-match suspension.
A Historic Low for Wolves
Here's where it gets controversial: Wolves have become the first top-flight team in history to accumulate just two points after 18 league games. Despite a valiant effort against Liverpool, they extended their losing streak to 11 matches, the longest in Premier League history.
United's Recent Success and Clean Sheets
United, on the other hand, have been on a roll, losing just once in their last seven matches. Their 4-1 victory at Molineux, thanks to Bruno Fernandes' brace and goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount, was a highlight. The Reds will be aiming for consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League, a feat they last achieved in September 2024.
Previous Encounters and Statistics
United has dominated recent meetings with Wolves, winning eight of their last 11 Premier League encounters. This fixture also marks the third time United has faced an opponent twice in the same month in the Premier League.
