Manchester United and Wolves meet for the third time in less than a month on Saturday. Unlike the previous two matches which took place in the FA Cup, with the first ending scoreless and the second seeing United prevail 1-0, this one has league implications. With both teams sitting on 34 points, six behind the fourth and final Champions League spot, this will be a huge three points up for grabs.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side must recover from the disappointment of being knocked out of the Carabao Cup semifinals by its rivals Manchester City. However, considering the team’s history over the last several years, rebounding from disappointment shouldn’t be too foreign.
It’s hard to lay too much blame on the Norwegian manager as his side has been ravaged by injury. Marcus Rashford has been sidelined until March, while Paul Pogba remains out as well. The Red Devils have been handed some good news in the transfer market, as Portuguese star midfielder Bruno Fernandes has joined from Sporting Lisbon in a big-money move.
On the other side of the coin, Wolves have been one of the most difficult sides to play in the Premier League this season. They have just as good a chance as any other team to chase down Chelsea for the fourth spot. With Mexican international Raul Jimenez scoring nearly every week and explosive winger Adama Traore causing havoc on a weekly basis, Wolves are a nightmare for any team to play.
