They will now be looking for their 10th win of the Premier League campaign when they visit Molineux on New Year's Eve.

Kick-off is at 12.30pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

Team news

Manchester United will have to make do without Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Jadon Sancho and Axel Tuanzebe, but Scott McTominay and Victor Lindelof should be available.

Wolves will be unable to call upon the services of Pedro Neto, Chiquinho, Jonny Otto and Sasa Kalajdzic, while Boubacar Toure and Daniel Podence will need to be assessed.

Form

Manchester United have now won three of their last four games in the Premier League, narrowing the gap to fourth place in the process.

After a five-match winless run before the break for World Cup 2022, Wolves' win on Boxing Day moved them to within a point of safety.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:

ExpressVPN
