Manchester United face Wolves today eager for a win to boost their Champions League qualification hopes.
The Red Devils had looked to be cruising towards a comfortable top-four finish to go along with a pair of domestic cup finals in Erik ten Hag’s first season in charge, but arch-rivals Liverpool now pose a major threat to those chances.

Two losses on the bounce at the hands of Brighton and West Ham have provided huge concerns and United must win today to get some breathing space from Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, who will be gunning for a seventh straight win away at troubled Leicester on Monday night.
Wolves, meanwhile, can play out the rest of campaign free of any relegation concerns, bouncing back from a six-goal mauling by Brighton by surprisingly edging out in-form Midlands rivals Aston Villa last weekend to go 10 points clear of the bottom three with only three matches left to play this term.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Manchester United vs Wolves is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off time today on Saturday May 13, 2023.

Manchester United vs Wolves prediction
United might be something of a mess away from home but have built a pretty strong campaign on their showings at Old Trafford.
Even without Rashford, should he miss out, the hosts should have enough to get past a Wolves side with little to play for.
Manchester United to win, 2-0.
