  • Wolves have secured just two points from 14 games and have not scored in their last five

  • These two teams have kept just two clean sheets between them so far this season

  • Recommended bet: Both teams to score - Yes

Wolves welcome Manchester United to Molineux on Monday evening still searching for an elusive first Premier League victory of the season and having lost their last five without even scoring a goal.

The visitors can close to within touching distance of the top four with a victory, but their record of just one clean sheet so far this season should give hope to the hosts, who were competitive in single-goal losses to Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.

Team news

Home boss Rob Edwards will have to make a change in midfield, with Brazilian Joao Gomes forced to sit out after receiving a fifth league booking of the season in the 1-0 defeat to Forest.

Marshall Munetsi and Ladislav Krejci would normally be candidates to replace Gomes but both are major doubts due to injury, as is wing-back Hugo Bueno, although Matt Doherty should be available for selection.

Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim expects defensive duo Matthijs De Ligt and Diogo Dalot to shake off knocks to be options for the trip to Molineux, while former Wolves striker Matheus Cunha returned from injury in the 1-1 draw with West Ham on Thursday.

Striker Benjamin Sesko remains sidelined by a knee injury, while central defender Harry Maguire is unlikely to be back in the fold after spending the last month on the sidelines due to a thigh problem.

The stats

Wolves have just two points and could break the unwanted record low of 11 set by Derby County during the 2007-08 season, while the Old Gold have lost their last five matches without scoring a goal.

Wolves have kept one clean sheet in 17 games played in all competitions so far this season, while United have only kept Sunderland scoreless across their 15 matches this term.

United striker Matheus Cunha scored 15 Premier League goals for Wolves last season, but has just one to his name since joining the Red Devils in the summer.

Wolves won both meetings of these two teams last season, but had lost seven of the previous eight clashes, including four in a row at Molineux.

Prediction

Goals aplenty seems highly unlikely at Molineux, but the weaknesses of both teams' defences do suggest that there could be goals at both ends.

Wolves may not have scored in any of their last five league outings, but Edwards has certainly improved performance levels and will be confident that his side can breach a United backline which has been unreliable throughout the season to date.

At the other end, the Old Gold cannot be trusted to keep a clean sheet, having done so just once this season, in a 2-0 League Cup victory against Everton back in September.

Back both teams to score - Yes at 7/10 with LiveScore Bet.
