Footymad preview History of the Manchester United v Wolverhampton Wanderers fixture

Wolverhampton Wanderers face a trip to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 31 out of 46 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2010, the Red Devils carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premier League match.

Recent respective form guides

Manchester United are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. While Red Devils have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Wolverhampton Wanderers is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Wolves have conceded 12 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Manchester United's total of 33 points from their 14 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Barclays Premier League.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 14 points from 14 matches.
