Please note, due to broadcasting restrictions, Friday’s Premier League 2 fixture with Manchester United will not be live streamed.
James Collins’ side have secured back-to-back wins in their last two outings, while keeping clean sheets in each of them.
A 2-0 success over Arsenal was followed up by Monday’s important victory at Leicester City, where Oliver Tipton struck a late penalty to ensure the points went the way of the old gold.
Those six points have moved Wolves up to tenth in the PL2 table, four points above the dropzone.
Manchester United are six points better off than Collins’ men, having won six of their 18 league matches. The Red Devils currently sit in sixth place, just two points off Crystal Palace in third and are unbeaten in seven games in all competitions.
In the reverse fixture back in October, it was Man Utd who took the points following a late turnaround. Goals from Harvey Griffiths and Jack Hodnett had given Wolves a 2-1 lead going into the final 20 minutes, but Shola Shoretire and Marc Jurado struck late on to secure a comeback victory.
A win on Friday for Wolves will move them to within just three points of their opponents, who have played a game extra than most teams.

WHAT THE BOSS SAID
“Manchester United are on an unbelievable run – I think they’re unbeaten in seven games. It will be a really hard game for us.
“It’s the same night as the first-team game so that affects players coming down. It will be a young group and we’ve got to earn the right to get a result.
“Hopefully we’ll play that little bit more football that is better on the eye.”
