The last time Manchester United received Wolves at Old Trafford in April, the "Wolfs" left the field in a state of excitement. Pablo Sarabia's free kick brought a 1-0 victory, and also extended the winning streak when Wolves won 5 consecutive matches in the Premier League.
8 months later, the picture completely reversed. Wolves returned to Old Trafford in a prolonged crisis, losing 11 consecutive matches in all competitions, including a 1-4 defeat in the first leg against Man United earlier this month.
Being at the bottom of the table with only 2 points after 18 rounds, 16 points behind the safe zone, shows that they have not been able to maintain the positive momentum from the end of last season.
The change on the coaching bench has not yet created a turning point. Rob Edwards has not yet won in the Premier League this season and is experiencing a 7-match winning streak since taking office.
On the home side, Man United entered this match with a clearer foothold. They have won 8/11 of their most recent encounters with Wolves in the Premier League and just had their second clean sheet in the league this season.
More importantly, Ruben Amorim signaled a correction when switching to a 4-defender system in the match against Newcastle on Boxing Day. Although he only controlled the ball 33.3% in the absence of Bruno Fernandes, Patrick Dorgu's volley was still enough to decide the 1-0 victory.
Man United have won 8/11 of their most recent encounters with Wolves in the Premier League (3 defeats), including a 4-1 victory at Molineux Stadium earlier this month.
