The eight-time Cup winner and two-time champion of England won the sixth place in the standings last season, which brought them a ticket to the Europa League. In the group stage the capital club confidently passed the tournament distance, where it scored four victories and once drew, which brought them 13 points and first place in the battle with Antwerp, LASK and Ludogorets. The line of attack of the London club proved to be excellent at this stage. The start of the new championship of the English Premier League went well. The Lilac-Whites were at the top of standings for some time, but in the end they lost concentration and after 15 rounds took the seventh position. Before this duel Jose Mourinho’s charges had seven victories and five peaceful outcomes, which brought 26 points. Thats only three less than the second Leicester’s. In the last four matches Tottenham cannot win, which infuriated the team coach after a draw in the last round with Wolverhampton (1:1). In December the team defeated Arsenal (2:0), after which they shared the tournament points with Crystal Palace (1:1). The capital lost two defining duels with Liverpool and Leicester. Bailey Lo Celso, who has a muscle strain, will not be able to play today.
Wolverhampton is not playing as brightly this season as in the previous two. However, Nuno Santa’s charges are still strong enough to bring unpleasant surprises to their opponents. At the moment, Wolverhampton are in 11th place in the Premier League, being four points behind their usual European competition zone. Wolverhampton is ten points ahead of the relegation zone. The last five matches of the championship were not the best for the “wolves”. “Wolverhampton” earned only four points during this time. Players lost to Santa Liverpool (0:4), Aston Villa (0:1), Burnley (1:2), drew with Tottenham (1:1) and defeated Chelsea (2:1). The game against Manchester United will be Wolverhampton’s sixth game against a top six in this championship. The statistics looks good. The Wolves have earned seven points in five matches. Santa’s team beat Arsenal (2:1), Chelsea (2:1), drew with Tottenham (1:1) and lost to Manchester City (1:3) and Liverpool (0:4). Honatan Castro Otto and the team’s top scorer Raul Jimenez are injured at Wolverhampton. The participation of Leander Dendrocker is in question.
