Wolves host Manchester United in the Premier League on Boxing Day, with new boss Vitor Pereira looking to build on what was a perfect start last weekend.
Wolves beat fellow strugglers Leicester 3-0 away last time out, and they are now just two points behind the Foxes, though they are still just about in the relegation zone.
However, three points against United could take Wolves above Leicester – who face Liverpool today – and they will be more confident of getting a result after watching United lose 3-0 to Bournemouth last weekend.
Ruben Amorim’s side were humbled by the Cherries in a performance that’ll worry both fans and the manager, and they sit in 13th – the first time that they have spent Christmas in the bottom half since 1989.
United are nine points off Nottingham Forest in fourth, and they need a win here to relieve some of the pressure on the squad and their new manager. Here’s everything you need to know about the match:
