Preview: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Manchester United

Wolverhampton Wanderers' fight for Premier League survival doesn't get any easier this weekend as they host league leaders Manchester United at Molineux on Sunday.

Wolverhampton Wanderers' fight for Premier League survival doesn't get any easier this weekend as they host league leaders Manchester United at Molineux on Sunday.

The Midlands club are in desperate need of points after they slipped into the relegation zone following last weekend's 2-0 defeat to fellow strugglers Blackburn Rovers.

United can now concentrate solely on retaining their Premier League title after they were eliminated from the Europa League by Athletic Bilbao on Thursday night.

A win for the Red Devils would heap the pressure on title rivals Manchester City when they host Chelsea in the league on Wednesday night.

Wolves have no new injury concerns ahead of the match, but interim manager Terry Connor could recall Roger Johnson to the starting lineup.

Meanwhile, Antonio Valencia could return for the visitors, but Phil Jones is still sidelined with flu. Anderson is also expected to miss up to five weeks with a hamstring injury.

Current form:

Wolves: LWLDLL
Man Utd: WDWWWW

Possible lineups:

Wolves: Hennessey; Zubar, Bassong, Johnson, Ward; Hunt, Davis, O'Hara, Edwards, Jarvis; Fletcher

Man Utd: De Gea; Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Young; Rooney, Welbeck

Sports Mole says: 0-2
