But they have blown hot and cold in the last two months. And the Red Devils have won just one of their last four Premier League games, with the recent defeat to West Ham United leaving them looking over their shoulders,Â with Liverpool only a point behind.

On the other hand, Wolverhampton Wanderers have alternated between a win and a loss in the last few weeks. But the victories have helped Julen Lopetegui's men steer clear of the drop zone.

And the surprise 1-0 victory of an in-form Aston Villa has helped the Black Country outfit breach the magic 40-point mark. And relegation will no longer remain a worry for the visitors.

The reverse fixture saw Manchester United eke out a narrow 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux.

Team News:

Man United:

There could be a return for teenager Alejandro Garnacho, who was an unused substitute in the 1-0 defeat to West Ham on Sunday. The winger had been out since March with an ankle problem.

Goals have dried up for United in recent weeks, with main forward Marcus Rashford hitting only two strikes in his last ten outings, so manager Erik ten Hag may switch things up in attack.

David de Gea's mistake proved costly at London Stadium but the Spaniard is expected to retain his spot in the starting XI.
