Preview | February 25
Following recent results, Wolves find themselves in a mid-table position. In their last 5 games, they've won 2, lost 2 and drawn 1. Wolves have struggled to find the back of the net frequently this season. Their average xG (expected goals) of 1.32 is the 8th lowest in the league. João Gomes will need to be at his best to help an out-of-form Wolves. With an average of 2.2 tackles per match in his last 5, he's been defensively solid in recent weeks. Matheus Cunha will be front and centre in their attempt to prolong success. He has led them this year with 60 shots taken (10th in the EPL).
Sheffield United will be hoping to put an end to their desperate run of form with a better result in this match. On average, in their last 5 matches, Sheffield United have had less possession and shots than their opponents. Following recent struggles, Sheffield United will rely on James Mcatee's creativity for success in this match. With 20 passes into the box, he ranks 68th in the EPL.
Wolves-Sheffield United Prediction: 2-0
Wolves' solid defence should be the foundation for another three points.

Nickname: Wolves
Stadium: Molineux Stadium (Capacity 31,750)
Manager: Julen Lopetegui (ESP)
Last Season: 13th
Wolves are in a sticky financial situation and have let go of big names including Ruben Neves, Raul Jimenez, Nathan Collins and Conor Coady. The challenge facing boss Julen Lopetegui is huge but with his experience and a passionate fanbase behind them Wolves could still be a force this season.
It's hard to find a player that isn't at risk of leaving but Wolves will be keen to keep hold of the Portuguese winger. He's been in amongst the goals during pre-season and showed flashes of brilliance last season. With the amount of quality players leaving, there will be more pressure on Neto to provide for the team.
The right-back's return to the Midlands gives Wolves some vital Premier League experience. His time in Spain might not have gone according to plan but Doherty showed plenty of promise during his stint with Spurs and is remembered fondly from his previous years at Molineux.
Wolves have only won once in the last eight league meetings with United so a trip to Old Trafford isn't the ideal start for Lopetegui's men. It could also be seen as a great opportunity to stop the negative news and build some momentum.
If they can stem the flow of important players leaving the club and find another bargain in the transfer window then Wolves still have the basis of a solid Premier League team.
Do you think more outgoings at Molineux will drag Wolves into a survival battle?
Wolves - To be relegated: 4.33
