Football Results

Although Manchester United was runner-up last season and Wolverhampton is newcomer to the Premier League the two teams occupy neighbouring positions in the table after five rounds, where the United is eight and has one point more. Let’s add that the two teams met the last time seven years ago also in the English Premiership and the Red Devils from Manchester won both their league matches.

Manchester United

It is natural why the United’s fans expect something similar now regardless of fact that the Wolves play quite well recently, which is why they have just one point fewer than great Manchester United. Team led by manager Mourinho had a bit weaker start of new season when they even lost two times in a row, to Brighton away and Tottenham at home, but they played much better in last three matches and won all three of them.

Firstly, they won difficult away matches with Burnley and Watford in the Premier League, while last weekend they won Swiss Young Boys by sound 3-0 in the first round of the Champions League group phase. Mourinho should be satisfied with results from last three matches, especially as he managed to rest several very important players in the Champions League. Now against Watford he cannot count on injured defenders Jones and Rojo, and midfielder Herrera, as well as suspended midfielder Matic and forward Rashford.

Probable lineups Manchester United: de Gea – Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof, Young – Fred, Fellaini, Pogba – Lingard, Lukaku, Sanchez

Wolverhampton

Regarding these returnees to the elite football league of English football, Wolverhampton, they also had a bit shakier start of the new season as they in first three rounds drew at home with Everton and Manchester City, and lost away to Leicester, but then they won following three matches. The winning streak started with home triumph over Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in the League Cup, and after it they won by 1-0 West Ham away and Burnley at home.

Those nine points propelled them into the upper half of table, and now they can face Manchester United free of worries, as they are anyway regarded as absolute outsiders in this match. Regarding the team, we believe that manager Santo will send the same 11 players on the pitch after three consecutive wins, especially as out of action is only injured forward Cavaleiro.

Probable lineups Wolverhampton: Rui Patricio – Bennett, Coady, Boly – Doherty, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny – Costa, Jimenez, Jota

Verdict:

Although both teams are in very good shape ahead of their Saturday’s match it is quite clear that Manchester United is a great favourite to win at home newcomer to the Premier League, Wolverhampton, especially as their self-confidence grew after great performance in the Champions League last week.
