Wolves will be looking to kick on following their recent win over Tottenham Hotspur as they set their sights on a top-half finish in the Premier League this season.
Sheffield United are in deep trouble. They are rock bottom of the Premier League ladder with just 13 points and are seven points from safety with 10 games remaining.
Wolves have won two of their last three matches in the Premier League and victory over Sheffield United would see them leapfrog Chelsea and into the top half of the Premier League table.
The Wanderers are very capable in front of goal. They have scored nine goals in four matches, but they need to shore up their defence as they have leaked the same amount in that time as well.
Wolves boss Gary O’Neil has almost a full squad to pick from with Matheus Cunha their only injury concern.
Anything can happen in football, but it does look like Sheffield United will be relegated before the season comes to an end. They are bottom of the standings with just three wins under their belt.
One of those wins came recently when they beat fellow strugglers Luton Town 3-1, but they have lost three of their last five matches with one draw in there as well.
The Blades have been beaten 5-0 twice in their last three matches to become the team to concede the most goals in Premier League history after 25 games.
Mason Holgate is suspended after his horror tackle against Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend. Ben Brereton Diaz is hoping his hamstring problem has healed up so he can feature, while Cameron Archer, John Egan and Chris Basham are still out injured.
You could see these teams have been evenly matched over the years with the majority of their clashes coming outside of the top flight in the Championship and League One.
Wolves have won 31 of their 83 meetings with the Blades recording 25 wins. Out of those 83 matches, there have been 27 draws.
These two have already met this season with United recording their first win of the season with a 2-1 success at Bramall Lane.
Before that defeat, Wolves had three on the spin against the Blades. Sheffield United have not won at Molineux since they won 3-1 in the Championship back in October 2002.
The Wanderers will regard it as a good season if they end up in the top half of the Premier League. Victory over Sheffield United would boost their hopes. The Blades need to go on a run of wins to avoid relegation, although that looks unlikely. Take a look at the stats regarding the game and the best betting odds before kick-off.
Our Betting Tip for Today- Wolves to win to nil – 13/8 @ Bet365
Wolves are the favourites to win this game on home soil. They are available at 4/9 to take all three points. United are a 6/1 shot to win the match, while the draw can be backed at 15/4.
Sheffield United look out of sorts at the minute. Yes, they have quite a few injury concerns, but they are getting rolled over quite easily late on in games.
In their last two defeats, United have score zero goals and conceded 10. You cannot expect to stay in the Premier League with form like that.
Wolves might not be the most clinical of teams in the Premier League, but they are solid and can pick teams off if needed.
I expect them to enjoy the lion’s share of possession against the Blades and dominate proceedings with a crucial three points and their first clean sheet in five Premier League matches.
