Manchester United are all set to host Wolves in their first match of the 2023/24 English Premier League season.
Wolves take to the pitch for the first time under new manager Gary O’Neill and are hoping to avoid defeat.
This is the fifth time Man United are beginning an EPL campaign on a Monday – they have gone on to win the league title on three of the previous four such occasions.
Man United finished in the bronze medal position behind Arsenal and Manchester City, while Wolves finished 13th.
United are confident, having lost only one of their last 12 matches at home against Wolves in the Premier League.
Wolves failed to win any of their final eight EPL road games in the 2022-23 season, which included a 2-0 defeat to United.
They have also lost their opening game of the season in each of their last two Premier League campaigns.
