Get the latest odds for the Wolves v Man Utd Premier League match on Saturday 5th January 2011.
Manchester United, winners of the Carling Cup for the past two seasons take on Wolves at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening in this fourth round tie. They do so in much better mood too, with the ’Rooney’ saga almost ‘dead and buried’ and with a hard earned Premier League win over Stoke on Sunday. Needless to say, they have been made heavy odds on favourites to win the match, with Bet365 quoting them at 2/7 to win, with Wolves being offered at a huge 10/1 and the draw at 4s.
It is not certain at this stage whether United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, will include Wayne Rooney in the team, but in many respects the match would present an ideal opportunity to do so. Rooney has not come close this season yet to the form he showed for most of last and with him committing himself to the club for the next five years, he will be anxious to confirm to the huge United following that he is ready to repay their faith. That said most Bookmakers make his strike partner, Dimitar Berbatov favourite to score the opening goal with Bet365.com going 10/3.They also go the same price for him to score two or more goals on the night and 14/1 about him scoring a hat trick. Punters are advised however to check whether the Bulgarian striker plays or not as he could well be rested.
After a reasonable start to the campaign, Wolves have slipped badly in the Premier League and are now in the drop zone, with only 3 points taken from their last eight games. To make matters even more difficult they have face Manchester City at Molineux on Saturday then travel to Old Trafford again to take on United in the League. Manager, Mick McCarthy will therefore be looking at this Carling Cup fixture as a match that he could probably do without.

Wolves qualified for the fourth round after defeating Notts County and Southend but had to go to extra time on both occasions to win. Along with a Premier League win on the opening day of the season over Stoke City, they are the only wins that Wolves have to name this term so far, which is hardly the credentials needed to take on the defending champions. Goals have been hard to come by too for McCarthy’s team, only 8 scored in the League this season so far, with Steven Fletcher and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake netting twice apiece. Neither of these strikers has been in great form this season however, but with Kevin Doyle still to get off the mark in the league, they may be reasonable bets to get on the scoresheet in this match. bet365.com go 3/1 Doyle, 10/3 Ebanks-Blake and 15/4 on Fletcher in their Anytime Scorer market.
Sir Alex Ferguson, as has been tradition over recent years with the top clubs, will probably field a youthful team with the addition of first teamers seeking to get back to full fitness. It could mean a run out for long time absentee Owen Hargreaves and a place in the starting line up for the exciting wing prospect, Bebe. Michael Owen who scored twice in the third round win over Scunthorpe is another who will probably play. Owen in fact is a 6/5 shot to score for United, while Bebe, who has a reputation of shooting on sight is at 7/4 to get a goal in the match.
In conclusion there does not seem any way that Wolves can travel to Man Utd and win, particularly as they have enjoyed so much recent success in the competition. Moreover, with much ‘bigger fish to fry’ McCarthy would not relish winning anyway knowing that his time needs to be spent securing his team’s Premier League future. Therefore a comfortable United win is a likely outcome with 2-0 or even 3-0 scoreline looking to be the most popular bets. A 2-0 United win can be backed at 5/1 and a 3-0 at 13/2, both with Bet 365.
