TEAM NEWS
Manchester United are unlikely to risk midfielder Ryan Giggs, who was forced
off against Aston Villa after suffering a slight hamstring problem.
Darren Fletcher is set to continue as a make-shift right-back.
Wolves could be without Dave Edwards for up to 10 weeks after the midfielder
picked up an ankle ligament injury against Tottenham on Saturday.
Edwards' absence could mean a recall for full-back Kevin Foley, who is set to
be drafted in on the right wing.

MATCH PREVIEW
- We may be entering the season of goodwill to all men, but Sir Alex Ferguson
will demand Manchester United rediscover their ruthless streak against
Wolves.
- Chelsea's pre-Christmas stumbles presented the champions with a gift-wrapped
chance to join the Blues at the top on Saturday evening, but a surprise loss
to Aston Villa saw the Red Devils blow their chance.
- A win against Wolves would partially make amends, taking Ferguson's side
level on points with the Londoners for at least 24 hours.
- Defeat on Saturday was the Red Devils' first at home to Villa since 1983,
coinciding neatly with the last time Wolves won back-to-back games in the
top flight.
- That record was also ended on Saturday, with Kevin Doyle's header at
Tottenham giving the all-gold side successive wins for the first time
in 26 years.
