Hello and welcome to this latest instalment of ‘which Wolves will turn up todayâ? Gary OâNeil is doing a pretty solid job at Molinuex, but their recent results card shows the following: a 2-1 win at Tottenham, a 2-0 home defeat by Brentford, a magnificient 4-2 win away at Chelsea and a crazy 4-3 loss to Manchester United. Thatâs some wildly oscillating form by anyoneâs yardstick.

Youâd think the visit of Sheffield United today makes Wolves big favourites, which of course is true. But they were seriously blunt in that home reverse to Brentford a fortnight ago and actually lost to the Blades earlier in the season at Bramall Lane â albeit via a controversial VAR decision. Itâs perhaps that cocktail that will give confidence to Chris Wilderâs men on their trip down the M1, even if their hopes of avoiding relegation appear increasingly slim with every passing week. Mason Holgate is absent for the visitors, of course, after his horrendous red card tackle against Brighton last week. Wolves may well miss Matheus Cunha, who has a hamstring problem, the same issue that is currently afflicting the Bladesâ January addition, Ben Brereton DÃaz.

important events
30 minutes left until departure time from Molineux. Wolves have lost their last two games here and have not won a home Premier League game since 2023. Meanwhile, Sheffield United have scored nine goals in their last three away trips in all competitions, winning two of them. Are we trying to shoehorn statistics into the story? Erm…maybe. But it’s clear that Wolves’ victory isn’t as certain as some might think.

wolves don’t change, lined up in the familiar 3-4-3 often used by Nuno Espirito Santo, and played to good effect by Gary O’Neill. Pablo Sarabia has added Hwang Hee-chan and Pedro Neto up front, and even without Cunha this is a dangerous front three.
Sheffield United make four changesThe most notable goal was Wes Foderingham dropping and Ivo Grubic getting another chance after conceding eight goals in a few games in late January. Rhian Brewster, who has yet to score a league goal this season, will lead the line. The Blades have a 3-5-1-1 with James McAtee playing the number 10 role.

preamble
Hello. Welcome to the latest episode of “Which Wolves will be showing up today?” Gary O’Neill has done a pretty solid job at Molineux, but their recent result cards show: 2-1 win at Tottenham, 2-0 at home to Brentford. , an impressive 4-2 win away at Chelsea and a 4-3 defeat at Manchester United. It’s a wildly fluctuating form by anyone’s standards.
You’d think Wolves would be heavy favorites with today’s visit from Sheffield United, and of course that’s true. But they were woefully lackluster in their home defeat to Brentford a fortnight ago and actually lost to the Blades at Bramall Lane earlier in the season – albeit on a controversial VAR decision. Perhaps this cocktail will give Chris Wilder’s men confidence down the M1, even if their hopes of avoiding relegation look dwindling with each passing week. Mason Holgate, who suffered a terrible red card tackle against Brighton last week, will of course be absent from the game against the visitors. Wolves are likely to be without Matheus Cunha, who is suffering from a hamstring problem, and current Blades’ January signing Ben Brereton-Dass also has the same issue.
Kick-off is a little early on Sunday. 1.3opm (Greenwich Mean Time). Team news will be announced later.
