Explore Coral's detailed preview for Manchester United vs Wolves in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 20:15 GMT match.

• Fixture: Manchester United vs Wolves
• Date: Tuesday, 30 December 2025
• Kick-off: 20:15 GMT
• Venue: Old Trafford

Manchester United come into this match with a mixed bag of results, but a strong performance against Wolves in their last encounter. With a predicted lineup that mirrors their successful 4-2-3-1 formation against Newcastle, they'll look to exploit Wolves' recent defensive frailties. Casemiro and Ugarte in midfield should provide the necessary stability to allow the attacking quartet of Dorgu, Mount, Cunha, and Šeško to press forward.

Wolves, on the other hand, have struggled to find form, losing their last five matches. Their predicted 3-4-2-1 formation might offer some defensive solidity, but their attack has been inconsistent. Manchester United's recent dominance over Wolves, coupled with their home advantage, suggests they should have the upper hand in this fixture.

Match Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Wolves

Manchester United's recent form has been a rollercoaster, with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five matches. Their most recent victory was a solid 1-0 home win against Newcastle, which should give them confidence going into this match. However, the loss to Aston Villa and the high-scoring draw against Bournemouth indicate some inconsistency that they'll need to address.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Newcastle (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Aston Villa (A)

• Draw: 4-4 vs Bournemouth (H)

• Win: 4-1 vs Wolves (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs West Ham (H)

Wolves are in a poor run of form, having lost all of their last five matches. Their most recent defeat was a 1-2 loss to Liverpool away, which adds to a string of disappointing results. This lack of positive momentum could make it challenging for them to turn things around against a Manchester United side that has recently beaten them.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 1-2 vs Liverpool (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Brentford (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Arsenal (A)

• Loss: 1-4 vs Manchester United (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Nottingham Forest (H)

The head-to-head record between Manchester United and Wolves shows a competitive but slightly favourable trend for Manchester United. In their last five encounters, Manchester United have won three times, with Wolves securing two victories. The most recent match saw Manchester United triumph 4-1 away at Wolves, indicating their recent dominance in this fixture.

• Predicted lineup: Lammens (GK), Dalot (DF), Heaven (DF), Martínez (DF), Shaw (DF), Casemiro (MF), Ugarte (MF), Dorgu (MF), Mount (MF), Cunha (MF), Šeško (AT)

Manchester United are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Casemiro and Ugarte anchoring the midfield. This setup should allow Dorgu, Mount, Cunha, and Šeško to focus on attacking, with the solid defensive line of Dalot, Heaven, Martínez, and Shaw supporting them.

• Predicted lineup: Sá (GK), Mosquera (DF), S. Bueno (DF), Krejčí (DF), Doherty (MF), André (MF), J. Gomes (MF), H. Bueno (MF), Mané (AT), Hwang (AT), Arokodare (AT)

Wolves are likely to deploy a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Mosquera, Bueno, and Krejčí at the back. This formation could provide some defensive stability, but the midfield pairing of André and Gomes will need to step up to support the attacking efforts of Mané, Hwang, and Arokodare.

• Cunha vs Doherty: Matheus Cunha's creativity will be tested against Matt Doherty's defensive skills.

• Casemiro vs André: Casemiro's midfield control will be crucial against André's tenacity.

• Cunha (Manchester United): Matheus Cunha's goal-scoring ability could be the difference for Manchester United.

• Mané (Wolves): Mateus Mané's flair and pace will be vital for Wolves' attacking threat.
