Team news and injury concerns
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim continues to cope without his influential captain, Bruno Fernandes, who remains sidelined. There are also major doubts over Mason Mount after he was substituted at half-time during the Boxing Day win over Newcastle United.
The shining light from that victory, Patrick Dorgu, is expected to retain his place on the right wing following his match-winning volley. His performance has certainly caught the eye of his manager.
For the visiting Wolves, defensive resources are stretched. Centre-back Toti Gomes is injured and Emmanuel Agbadou is away on Africa Cup of Nations duty. However, the return of Hugo Bueno at Anfield offers some relief. Attacker Mateus Mane, who troubled Liverpool, is likely to keep his spot in the starting eleven.
Predicted starting line-ups
Manchester United predicted XI: Lammens; Yoro, Heaven, Martinez; Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Shaw; Dorgu, Cunha; Sesko.
Wolves predicted XI: Sa; Mosquera, S. Bueno, Krejci; Doherty, J. Gomes, Andre, H. Bueno; Hwang, Mane; Strand Larsen.
Despite their position at the foot of the table with just two points this season, Wolves have shown they are no pushovers. Rob Edwards's side have recently given both Liverpool and Arsenal serious scares, serving as a warning to Amorim's men against any complacency.
United's narrow win over Newcastle, courtesy of Dorgu's moment of brilliance, lifted them level on points with Chelsea. Securing three points tonight is vital for maintaining momentum in their pursuit of a coveted Champions League qualification spot.
