Wolverhampton Wanderers
Vitor Pereira has greeted a positive update on the team news front ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Wolverhampton Wanderers manager will be bereft of the services of five first-team players vs Manchester United on Thursday.
Rayan Ait-Nouri is available after serving a suspension this past weekend. Meanwhile, Mario Lemina faces a late fitness test to determine his availability. However, Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore, Enso Gonzalez, and Sasa Kalajdzic remain on the sidelines due to knee injuries, while Pablo Sarabia is recovering from a calf strain.
Jose Sa should take his spot between the sticks, with Wolverhampton Wanderers lining up in a 3-4-3 formation in front of him vs Manchester United on Thursday. The central defensive unit will likely feature Nelson Semedo, Santiago Bueno, and Toti Gomes. Rodrigo Gomes and Rayan Ait-Nouri will likely start as the two wing-backs.
The duo will aim to provide width in the final third and take creative charge from the flanks. Joao Gomes and Andre Trindade will pair up in the double pivot, striving to keep things tight in the middle of the park. Finally, Jorgen Strand Larsen will lead the line for Wolverhampton Wanderers against Manchester United, with Goncalo Guedes and Matheus Cunha completing the numbers in the offensive trifecta.
Manchester United
Like his counterpart in the Wolverhampton Wanderers dugout, Ruben Amorim has greeted a positive update on the team news front ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Manchester United manager should be without only three first-team players on Thursday.
Matthijs de Ligt should return after recovering from an illness. So, Luke Shaw (calf), Victor Lindelof (knee), and Mason Mount (hamstring) remain on the sidelines, with trio not returning anytime soon.
Andre Onana is the automatic pick between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in front of him vs Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday. The central defensive unit should feature Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Lisandro Martinez, with Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot being the two wide attackers.
Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo will pair up in the central areas, with the duo aiming to provide the forward thrust from the middle of the park. Finally, Rasmus Hojlund will spearhead the Manchester United attack against Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo taking charge of the creative direction.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Jose Sa; Nelson Semedo, Bueno, Toti; R Gomes, J Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Guedes, Strand Larsen, Cunha
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Amad, Hojlund, Fernandes

Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-3 Manchester United
In one of the most intriguing festive fixtures, it could be telling in how both club's seasons pan out, because another win for Pereira in his second game could see them cruise to safety. Another defeat for United would be catastrophic, but they have a good record here and seem to be doing better on the road, so they will seek to capitalise on Wolves having the joint-worst home record in the division so far.
