Man Utd v Wolves Predicted Starting Lineups for Premier League Match Amid Chido Obi Update

Manchester United and Wolves will go head-to-head in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, with both teams having little to play for at this point.

Ruben Amorim’s side claimed a stunning 5-4 win in the Europa League over Lyon in midweek, following on from a poor 4-1 defeat to Newcastle in their last top-flight clash. Wolves on the other hand have won each of their last four games on the bounce, defeating Tottenham 4-2 last time out to all but secure their position as a Premier League club next season.

Both teams have some injury concerns and decisions to make for the game, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expect the sides to line up.

Amorim to prioritise Europa League

Amorim’s squad was stretched to the limit by going to extra-time in midweek and the manager has confirmed that he may ‘go with the kids’ in the Premier League as he prioritises the Europa League.

Noussair Mazraoui and Victor Lindelof both left Old Trafford at half-time due to personal issues, while Amad Diallo and Lisandro Martinez are long-term absentees alongside Joshua Zirkzee. Jonny Evans is back in training, while the club are still managing the minutes of Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount. Ayden Heaven and Matthijs De Ligt are sidelined with ankle/foot problems.

Amorim Drops Team News Update

Speaking after the game against Lyon, Amorim shared an update on his squad.

Man Utd Predicted XI

Chido Obi to start

• Man Utd Predicted XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Lindelof, Yoro; Dorgu, Ugarte, Fernandes, Amass; Mainoo, Garnacho, Obi.
• Man Utd Predicted Substitutes: Bayindir (GK), Maguire (DEF), Shaw (DEF), Dalot (DEF), Casemiro (MID), Eriksen (MID), Moorhouse (MID), Mount (MID), Hojlund (FWD).

With Amorim set to rotate the squad and give players a break in the build-up to the semi-final, youngsters Harry Amass and Chido Obi could get rare starts in the first-team.

£500,000-a-week duo Casemiro and Luke Shaw played longer than expected in midweek so are likely to return to the bench, while Mason Mount may also find himself on the sideline with Kobbie Mainoo starting following his goal.

Cunha pushing to return

Wolves are in excellent form right now which has seen the manager stick with his starting lineup, but star forward Matheus Cunha scored off the substitutes bench last week following his return from suspension and is now pushing to come back into the team.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was forced off injured last week and is a doubt while Matt Doherty is also doubtful, but Leon Chiwone, Yerson Mosquera, Enso Medina, Pedro Lima and Sasa Kalajdzic are all unavailable.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Pereira shared an update on his squad.

Cunha to get the nod

• Wolves Predicted Substitutes: Bentley (GK), Djiga (DEF), Bueno (DEF), R. Gomes (MID), Sarabia (MID), Traore (MID), Hwang (FWD), Mane (FWD), Bellegarde (FWD).

With Cunha to move back into the starting lineup, Bellegarde may move to the bench as a result. He will likely be joined by £180,000-a-week duo Goncalo Guedes and Pablo Sarabia as Wolves look for a fifth consecutive win.
