Manchester United can close the gap to league leaders Liverpool to just two points by defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford tonight.
United twice led against Leicester last time out but were forced to share the points against Brendan Rodgers’ side after a late own-goal from Axel Tuanzebe.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take confidence from United’s recent home record against Wolves, avoiding defeat in their last nine home league games against the Midlands side (W6 D3) and keeping six clean sheets in the process.
However, Wolves are unbeaten against United in the Premier League since returning to the top flight in 2018.
David de Gea did not cover himself in glory for Harvey Barnes’ goal and, given Dean Henderson is due to start in two cup ties next week, another opportunity has emerged to make him the first-choice ‘keeper.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has hardly impressed all season but is a logical starter and Axel Tuanzebe deserves to partner Harry Maguire in the Premier League.
It’s a taxing period but Scott McTominay and Fred are arguably needed more against Wolves than Aston Villa, even though Paul Pogba is available to freshen up the front six.
Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood would enhance the attacking quartet.
