Wolverhampton Wanderers hosts Manchester United in the English FA Cup 1/32 finals. The match will be played on Saturday, January 4th at Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton)
The coach of Wolverhampton saved Neves and Jota in the last round of the Premier League, apparently hoping to use his key players in the cup game with the visitors from Manchester. Effective Jimenez and Traore are ready to play at least one half, and this attack will probably manage to breach the experimental defense of Manchester United, scoring in the 11th home game in a row. In general, the Wolves scored in all home games of the current season, except for the Europa League match against Braga - that is, in 16 of 17. Problems can arise in the defense of the hosts, which needs rotation and is weakened by the injury of Boly. Besides, a reserve goalkeeper Ruddy will defend the net again.

Perhaps the problem lies not only in the pathological inability of the visitors to defend flawlessly outside Old Trafford. The fact is that Mctominey and Pogba are injured, which leaves the coach without options in the pivot zone. Experts rightly expect that in the interval between meetings with Arsenal and Man City, the coach of the Red Devils will provide rest to his key defenders, fielding reservists like Young, Williams, Tuanzebe, and Romero. Last time, similar rotation provoked an effective and mainly open match at Stamford Bridge (1:2), but the hosts deserved to score more and just did not convert their attempts.
Wolverhampton concedes in five official games in a row, and the appearance of young Kilman in the center of defense does not promise a rare clean sheet. The young attack of Manchester United, refreshed by bright and talented reservists, seems capable of scoring at least once, especially since Solskajer was not seen indifferent to the FA Cup a year ago. Greenwood and Pereira will most likely join Rashford and Martial in the attack, and the creative quartet of the Red Devils has repeatedly proved its worth even in more difficult matches. Besides, the visitors need to improve the situation after a frankly unsuccessful game against Arsenal London.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
