Man Utd vs Wolves: Preview, predictions and lineups
Publish : Sunday, 2025-04-20 ( Europe/London )
Previewing Man Utd vs Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday, including team news, predictions and how to watch on TV.
Manchester United are aiming to build on their chaotic European victory over Lyon when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Red Devils produced an astonishing turnaround during their topsy-turvy Europa League quarter-final second leg with the French side, scoring three quick-fire goals at the end of extra-time to avoid embarrassment against their ten-man visitors. Their late comeback has booked them a clash with Athletic Club in the semi-finals as they chase continental salvation at the end of a miserable season.
Perhaps the midweek triumph can prove a turning point for Ruben Amorim's side but there have been plenty of false dawns for United across the campaign. They could come crashing back down to earth this weekend against one of the Premier League's most in-form sides.
Here is 90min's guide to the clash.

Man Utd team news
United continue to struggle with injuries and will be without a host of players for Wolves' visit. Joshua Zirkzee is out for the season and is joined in the treatment room by Amad Diallo, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez and Toby Collyer.
Ayden Heaven missed the nine-goal thriller with Lyon due to a knock but could return this weekend, while Amorim has confirmed that Noussair Mazraoui and Victor Lindelof are available for Sunday despite struggling with "personal issues" on Thursday.
Amorim could make changes from an exhausting midweek tie given United have nothing to play for in the Premier League but pride, with fringe players like Christian Eriksen and Lindelof potentially coming into the XI.
Man Utd predicted lineup vs Wolves
Man Utd predicted lineup vs Wolves (3-4-2-1): Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Lindelof; Dalot, Eriksen, Mainoo, Dorgu; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund.
Wolves team news
Wolves are sweating on the fitness of Matt Doherty, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Hee-chan Hwang, with Vitor Pereira claiming they are all "trying to come back" for the clash with United. Late decisions will be made on the trio.
The Old Gold have many confirmed absentees, however, with Sam Johnstone, Pedro Lima, Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez, Leon Chiwome and Sasa Kaljdzic all missing on Sunday.
Matheus Cunha returned from suspension last time out but only made the bench against Tottenham Hotspur. However, the Brazilian scored as a substitute in the 4-2 victory and should start at Old Trafford.
Wolves predicted lineup vs Man Utd
Wolves predicted lineup vs Man Utd (3-4-2-1): Sa; Bueno, Agbadou, Toti; Semedo, J. Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Cunha; Strand Larsen.
Man Utd vs Wolves score prediction
Could Thursday's incredible comeback spark United into life for the remainder of the campaign? Well, Amorim will certainly be hopeful of that, although his side's Premier League form has been remarkably inconsistent. They have failed to win any of their last three and face a Wolves side in excellent form.
However, confidence should be sky-high for United in front of a jubilant Old Trafford crowd on Sunday and with Wolves having almost guaranteed survival, they may take their foot off the gas slightly. Let's see if United can finally build some momentum.
Prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Wolves
