Premier League Preview: Wolves Vs Manchester United

Premier League match time arrives at Molineux as Wolves get set to host Manchester United on Saturday, February 5, in match week 26.
This is the second of a two-leg contest between the sides, with the first leg played at Old Trafford, on November 6, having ended 2-1 in the hosts' favour.
Park put United ahead on 45 minutes, and came to his sides rescue in injury time, after Wolves equalised via an Ebanks-Blake strike in the 66th minute.
For the Molineux squad, Stearman stood out in what was essentially a team effort.
It was not United's best game of the season in which Brown, Obertan, Bebe and Hernandez were all mediocre.
But they took away three crucial points that they should value at the crunch.
Credit is due to Wolves who played to their strengths and took the game to their more accomplished rivals.
Barring a lapse of concentration, at the death, Wolves should have taken away a point.
Mick McCarthy's charges could have paced themselves better; instead they ran themselves ragged only to run out of steam in the last 5 minutes.
For United, Evra and Park were stand out players on the day, and kept going till the end.
The game was also a tribute to Manchester United's bench strength as they did not have a single senior player in midfield or up front, except Fletcher.
Head to head, the sides have met thrice in league matches, and Manchester United have won all three games.
Of their last 10 games, Wolves have won 4 while losing the remaining 6.
Manchester United have won 8 of their last 10, while drawing the remaining 2.
Wolves have won 5 and drawn 2 of their 12 games at home, this season, while United have won just 3 of 11 games on the road, while drawing the remaining 8.
In match week 25, Wolves lost 1-0 away to Bolton, while Man United won 3-1 at home against Aston Villa.
On current form, Wolves will need a slice of luck added to home advantage to be able to salvage a point from the game.
Wolves had the following eleven men in their starting eleven against Bolton: Hennessey, Zubar, Berra, Stearman, Elokobi, Hammill, Jones, Henry, Edwards, Jarvis, and Doyle.
Ward, Ebanks-Blake and O'Hara played as substitutes.
Man United's starting eleven against Aston Villa had Van der Sar, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Fletcher, Carrick, Giggs, Berbatov, and Rooney.
Anderson was used as a substitute.
