Manchester United's form has clearly declined towards the end of the season. In their last four matches, Erik Ten Hag's team lost two, drew one, and won only one. This performance has severely jeopardized their position in the top four. Currently, they are only one point ahead of Liverpool. Although they have played one fewer game, Manchester United still have to face Chelsea in the remainder of the season. Therefore, they cannot afford to slip up in any match.
The extremely tight schedule has affected Manchester United's form. Key players have had almost no rest. While Man Utd continues to attack relentlessly, tired legs have diminished the accuracy of their final shots. Furthermore, injuries to central defenders Varane and Lisandro Martinez have significantly impacted the Red Devils' defensive capabilities. Since their absence, Man Utd has only kept a clean sheet in 3 out of 7 matches.
Man Utd will host Wolves at home in the 36th round of the Premier League.
However, Man Utd have just had a full week of rest since Christmas. This will be a good opportunity for the players to recover and regain their fighting spirit. Furthermore, Man Utd will be playing at home against Wolves. Their last domestic defeat was against Brighton on August 7th, 2022. After that, Man Utd were unbeaten with a win rate of 80%.
Meanwhile, Wolves have shown a very poor performance away from home. In their last 6 away games, they have lost 4 and drawn 2. Wolves also generally don't have good results when facing the Red Devils. In their last 5 encounters, Wolves have only won 1, losing the rest. Man Utd also have an advantage as Wolves have nothing left to play for. The "Wolves" are guaranteed to avoid relegation as they are 10 points ahead of the relegation zone with only 3 games remaining.
With those advantages in hand, Man Utd absolutely must win this match. If they fail to do so, they will have "shot themselves in the foot" in the race for a top-four finish this season.
Prediction: Man Utd win 2-0
