Manchester United v Wolves

Today we return to the scene of perhaps our most controversial moment of last season as we visit Old Trafford and who'd have thought this time last month that we would fancy our chances?

United will be without Wayne Rooney (obviously), Darren Fletcher, Darron Gibson and Nani, who is arguably their player of the season thus far. But despite these players missing, 'Taggart' remains spoilt for choice for options with Ryan Giggs returning and that certain little Mexican that did us in the Carling Cup. What team will be put out is anyone's guess but they will seek a win to keep up with Chelsea.


 
Same again for us, same absentees, same line-up (no ten changes, sorry to disappoint you national newspapers), same kind of stall and who's to say it will get us our first victory at the theatre of dreams for 30 years?
 
Like the last two league games and the Carling Cup fixture, we'll put up a fight. Our chances of coming away with something hinges on the chances we take.

POSSIBLE LINE-UPS

MAN UTD: Van Der Sar; Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra; Park, Carrick, Giggs, Obertan; Hernandez, Berbatov

WOLVES: Hahnemann; Foley, Stearman, Berra, Ward; Jarvis, Milijas, Henry, Edwards, Hunt; Doyle

ODDS (with William Hill)

WIN: Man Utd 1/4; Draw 4/1; Wolves 14/1

FIRST GOALSCORER: United - Hernandez 11/4, Berbatov 3/1, Macheda 9/2, Giggs 15/2, Park 8/1, Scholes 10/1, Vidic 16/1; Wolves - Steven Fletcher 12/1, Doyle 14/1, Ebanks-Blake 14/1, Jarvis 16/1, Hunt 20/1, Milijas 25/1, Stearman 40/1


KEY PLAYER: Javier Hernandez. Done us in the Carling ten days ago and is starting to look the real deal.

WEAKEST LINK: Central midfield. Will be missing Fletcher and will be made to look like paperweights, just like they were back in march.
