Wolves welcome Manchester Utd to Molineux on Monday in a matchup carrying major implications at both ends of the Premier League table. United are searching for stability after another setback at Old Trafford, while Wolves remain rooted to the bottom and still without a league win.

Betting Preview
Manchester United’s progress under Ruben Amorim continues to stutter. Just as they seem to turn a corner, a flat result follows, from a home defeat to 10-man Everton to a frustrating 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened West Ham. Diogo Dalot’s goal against the Hammers was cancelled out late by Soungoutou Magassa.
United sit mid-table and could slip further depending on weekend results, but their away form has been far more encouraging. Recent trips have produced wins at Liverpool and Crystal Palace, plus draws with Nottingham Forest and Spurs, a stark contrast to their struggles at Old Trafford.

They also boast a strong record against sides starting the day bottom of the Premier League, losing only eight such matches in history, though Wolves were responsible for two of those, the last back in 2011.
Wolves, however, are enduring a historically disastrous campaign. With just two points from 14 matches and no goals in their last five, they are on course to challenge Derby County’s infamous 11-point season. Rob Edwards’ arrival has brought little change, and Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest extended their losing streak to eight in all competitions.
