Manchester United survived a second-half battering to claim a 1-0 win over bogey side Newcastle on Boxing Day to move level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea .
That was despite Ruben Amorim being without a host of key players, including captain Bruno Fernandes and leading scorer Bryan Mbeumo , as well as losing the in-form Mason Mount at half-time.
United will still be down to the bare bones for the visit of Wolves but should have enough quality to see off a side who have picked up only two points from 18 games – the worst start in Premier League history.
With the Red Devils having only kept two clean sheets so far, we predict a home win with BTTS @ 19/10.

United ’s up-and-down campaign continued with their surprise victory over a Newcastle side who had beaten them in five of their previous six encounters.
Having frustratingly dropped points at Old Trafford against Everton , West Ham and Bournemouth recently that was a welcome boost for Amorim and his team, and left them three points off fourth spot.
They will now be expected to pick up another victory over Wolves but the absence of many of their main goal threats is a concern.

That places more responsibility on summer signings Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko to find their scoring boots, the duo having struck only five times between them.
Both are 5/1 to open the scoring against the division’s worst team or 20/21 to net at any point. You can also get 20/1 for former Wolves favourite Cunha to score the only goal of the game.
Wolves Form Guide
With a 16 -point gap to Nottingham Forest and safety, Wolves look virtually guaranteed to be headed back to the Championship for the first time since 2018 and face a likely summer overhaul.
However, before that they will be desperate to avoid accumulating any more unwanted Premier League records – and in particular pass Derby ’s all-time record low of 11 points.
How they will get them remains to be seen, with Wolves now having suffered 11 successive league defeats since back-to-back draws against Spurs and Brighton .
There have been signs of improvement in recent weeks though. Aside from their 4-1 home defeat to United , Wolves have not been swept aside by any team and pushed Arsenal ( 1-2 ), Liverpool ( 1-2 ) and Aston Villa ( 0-1 ) all the way.
Therefore, Wolves to win either half against absentee-hit United @ 10/3 may be an option.
Another decent bet could be for the all-Brazilian midfield battle to produce a yellow card for Joao Gomes ( 9/5 ) or Casemiro ( 10/3 ). The pair have been cautioned 11 times between them already this season.
