Pre-game

It was a fairly predictable line-up from Gary O'Neill in his first game in charge.

With minimal time to work with the team, this definitely had a Julen Lopeteui starting XI ring to it.

With Joao Gomes fit, Joe Hodge was the unlucky man to miss out and Rayan Ait-Nouri kept his place following a really strong pre-season.

Pedro Neto and Pablo Sarabia must not let Matheus Cunha be isolated - the old Trafford pitch can gobble you up very quickly.

The travelling fans as always were in great voice, 'Gary O'Neil's Barmy Army' ringing around the ground.

Wolves will need to be disciplined, keep it tight and try and nick a goal

Can they? It's been a crazy week - I wouldn't bet against it! It's the hope that kills you!
