Match Stats

On Sunday afternoon, 11th placed Wolves are set to take on bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United in a crucial Premier League encounter. Despite recent home disappointments against Manchester United and Brentford, Wolves have shown resilience with an unbeaten streak in their last five Premier League away games, including notable victories over Chelsea, Spurs, and Brentford. Their last outing saw a 2-1 win against Tottenham, with Joao Gomes scoring twice. With revenge on their minds after a previous defeat to Sheffield United earlier in the season, Wolves will be eager to secure a much-needed home win and improve their standing in the league.


Sheffield United's prospects of avoiding relegation from the Premier League this season appear grim. Sitting at the bottom of the table, they trail safety by eight points with a daunting goal difference of -43, significantly worse than any other team in the league. Their recent performances have been concerning, particularly conceding five goals in three consecutive home games, including a 5-0 defeat to Brighton and a 5-0 loss to Aston Villa. However, a glimmer of hope emerged with a 3-1 away victory against Luton Town, their first away win of the season. Despite this positive result, the Blades face an uphill battle to salvage their top-flight status.


O'Neil's Wolves have all the motivation they need to seek revenge against Sheffield United after their previous defeat. With a weakened Blades defense, players like Neto and Hwang pose a significant threat to carve open their opponent's backline. Despite Wolves' struggles at Molineux, their recent away performances outshine their home form. However, Sheffield United's lackluster away record, with the majority of their goals coming against Gillingham in the FA Cup, suggests another difficult Sunday ahead for Wilder's team.


Prediction: Wolves 3-0 Sheff Utd
