Wolves v Manchester Utd (ESPN - 17.30)
-
05-02-2011 4:58pm#1
Manchester United will be looking to strengthen their hold on top spot when they travel to bottom club Wolves.
Mick McCarthy's men have performed well against the bigger teams this season and only lost 2-1 at Old Trafford back in November thanks to a late strike from Park Ji-sung.
They have also beaten Liverpool and Chelsea more recently, but head into Saturday's clash low on confidence following three straight league defeats.
A three-point gap needs to be made up if Wolves are to climb out of the relegation zone and for that to happen this weekend United's unbeaten record would have to come to an end.
The Red Devils' remarkable run has been achieved despite critics suggesting they have not been at their best for long periods this season.
United traditionally improve as a campaign nears its conclusion and there has been evidence over the past few weeks that they are clicking into gear.
Wayne Rooney also rediscovered his scoring touch to inspire a 3-1 victory against Aston Villa in midweek that maintained a five-point advantage over Arsenal at the summit.
Team news
Jamie O'Hara could make his first start for Wolves after joining on loan from Tottenham and coming on as a substitute in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Bolton.
Stephen Hunt missed the Reebok Stadium clash due to a calf injury and is expected to be sidelined for a couple more weeks.
Ronald Zubar made the mistake that allowed Bolton to score but McCarthy backed his defender after the match and has a decision to make over whether to make a change.
Darren Fletcher is expected to be fit for Manchester United after recovering from an eye injury that forced him to be substituted with blurred vision against Villa.
Rafael is pushing for a return to the side after returning to training following a bout of concussion.
And Gary Neville is no longer available for selection after this week announcing his retirement with immediate effect.
Possible starting XIs
Wolves: Hennessey, Zubar, Berra, Stearman, Elokobi, Hammill, Henry, O'Hara, Edwards, Jarvis, Doyle.
Manchester United: Van der Sar, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Rooney, Berbatov.0
