Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers to win 3-0
Best Odds: 9/1
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sheffield United will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this weekend. The match between Gary O’Neil’s side and Chris Wilder’s team will be held at Molineux Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 1:30 pm UK time.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers were expected to struggle at the start of the season. Just days before the new Premier League campaign began, Julen Lopetegui stepped down and Gary O’Neil replaced him. The main objective for Wolves at the time was just to stay in the top flight of English football, but things have changed now.
Wolves are now as high as 11th in the Premier League table with 35 points from 25 matches. They are level on points with the mighty Chelsea, who are 10th, and are just three points off a European place. Under manager Gary O’Neil, the Wanderers are going places and could even play in the UEFA Europa Conference League next season.
The Wanderers will head into the Premier League match against Sheffield United this weekend on the back of a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur away from home at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League. It came after a 2-0 loss to Brentford at home in the league which followed a 4-2 victory over Chelsea away from home at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League.
Team News:
Wolverhampton Wanderers are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Jose Sa will be in goal for the Wanderers and will have Max Kilman, Craig Dawson and Tote Gomes in front of him in defence. Nelson Semedo, Mario Lemina, Joao Gomes and Rayan Ait-Nouri will be the four midfielders. Pablo Sarabia and Pedro Neto will be the two attacking midfielders. Hwang Hee-Chan will lead the line for Wolves.
Sheffield United
Sheffield United have been arguably the worst team in the Premier League this season. The Blades are struggling to score goals and simply cannot keep teams from invading their own citizens. It is now almost certain that Chris Wilder’s side will end up getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
The Yorkshire club are at the foot of the Premier League table at the moment with 13 points from 25 matches. United are as many as seven points behind Everton, who are 17th and have also played 25 games. Luton Town, who are third from bottom, have played 24 matches and have picked up 20 points.
United will head into the Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the back of a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion at home. It came after a very encouraging 3-1 victory over Luton Town away from home in the Premier League and followed another 5-0 defeat in front of their fans, this time to Aston Villa.
Team News:
Sheffield United are likely to line up in a 3-5-1-1 formation. The Blades will have Wes Foderingham in goal. Mason Holgate is suspended, so he will be replaced in defence by Auston Trusty. Jack Robinson and Anel Ahmedhodzic will be the other two centre-backs. Gustavo Hmer, Vinicius Souza and Ben Osborn will be the three central midfielders. Jayden Bogle, James McAtee and Yasser Larouci will be the three attacking midfielders, William Osula will lead the line for Chris Wilder’s side.
