The results were once again kind at the weekend for Manchester United, who have no excuses for anything other than three points when they take on Wolves at Molineux tonight.
On Thursday, they passed up the opportunity to move 5th in the Premier League table with a hugely disappointing 1-1 draw with West Ham, reverting to the kind of form that saw them lose to 10-man at Everton in their previous Old Trafford fixture.
Tonight they can move from 12th to 6th after Liverpool, Sunderland, Brighton and Chelsea failed to win. The pressure on Ruben Amorim will only grow if United become just the third side not to defeat the division's rock-bottom club.
Wolves have seen some improvements under Rob Edwards, and they have looked better defensively in his three games in charge, but it is now seven straight league losses and five without even a goal.
Relegation appears inevitable, with the aim of avoiding Derby's all-time low Premier League points tally (11) their more realistic aim.
Can Wolves stun United or will respite be found for Amorim? AllSportsPeople brings you the latest tips, betting odds and predictions.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Man United prediction: Who Will Win?
On paper, this is the easiest game United could ask for as they look to seal just their second win in six games.
However, it's also a no-win situation with all the pressure on Amorim and his side, who will again know where they can move to in the table with a win.
It probably won't be overly impressive but they should really have too much for a Wolves side who can't buy a goal, let alone a point, right now.

Wolves vs. Man United: TSN Score Prediction
Wolves have lost six of their seven home games so far this season and United have no excuses not to become the seventh to come away from Molineux with three points.
Ruben Amorim's side could also really do with a clean sheet having kept just one all season.
We're backing them to do both, with Matheus Cunha thriving in his first game against his former club.

Wolves vs. Man United Team News
Wolves Team News
- Wolves woes were only added to in the 1-0 loss to Forest when key midfielder Joao Gomes was booked for a fifth time this season, meaning he will miss Monday's game.
- Gomes, who has been linked with a move to United, will likely be replaced by Marshall Munetsi in midfield.
- Otherwise, it's likely to be an unchanged XI from Rob Edwards with former United academy player Sam Johnstone starting in goal.
Man United Team News
- Matthijs de Ligt missed the dismal draw with West Ham with an unspecified knock but is expected to return to the heart of United's defence here.
- Matheus Cunha is set to play against his old side for the first time and could be joined in the front three by Mason Mount.
- Mount was dropped for the Brazilian on Thursday night but might replace Joshua Zirkzee as Ruben Amorim looks to cure his side's recent scoring issues.
