Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Wolverhampton Wanderers today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Garnacho shows a spark of brilliance as he nutmegs Bueno with his first touch. However, the defender tracks back to dispossess him and recovers his pride well. Amass is then forced to recover as Wolves look promising. Hojlund comes forward and has a one-on-one with Toti but the defender does excellently to slide in on the striker!

15:11
Wolves come forward now. Strand Larsen's cross is intended for Munetsi but he gets it wrong and Onana catches.

Eriksen's cross from the free-kick is dangerous, but Wolves manage to clear. United quickly retain the ball and end up getting forced all the way back to Onana.

Ait Nouri enters the book now after hauling Dorgu to the ground as the Dane latched onto a overhead ball on the right wing.

15:08
Hojlund pokes a deflected effort wide after an early second-half corner on the right from Eriksen. United keep the formative pressure up and win another set piece on the left. This goes short before Dorgu fires off-target. United are playing with a bit more intent, it seems.

15:06
United get us back in action, now playing from right to left.

The respective xGs illustrate the lack of industry from both in this game. So far, United's chances have brought about a meagre 0.09 xG, while Wolves have fared even worse with a 0.02 xG. Their only shot so far was sent into the stand by Semedo. The visitors need to find Cunha and Strand Larsen a little more, while the same can be said for Hojlund for the hosts. The Dane had just eight touches in the first half.

14:55
The first half ends in Manchester as United and Wolves remain stuck together at 0-0. It's not been a famous outing by any stretch of the imagination, with pundits and fans alike presumably hoping this game will spark into life in the second 45 minutes. Despite their early on-ball confidence and neat passing in tight areas, Wolves have offered up a limited showreel so far. For United, their opening period can be summarised by two chances. In the 34th minute, a hopeful Eriksen free-kick from range had enough movement to warrant Bentley shovelling it over his bar. He was consistently called into action at corners to punch away, yet for the other real chance, he was a bystander as Mainoo curled an effort wide of the right post in the 44th minute.

MAINOO! Garnacho pops the ball over to Mainoo on the left, and he cuts back to fire a curling effort just the wrong side of the right post!
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:47
Eriksen's cross is initially headed out by Andre before Ugarte keeps the move alive on the right. Dorgu then gives away a foul to halt momentum.

14:46
Garnacho is bundled over by a combination of Toti and Gomes to earn a free-kick on the right.

Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:41
Eriksen shoots once more, but his strike ricochets up off the wall and out for a corner. He takes the set piece, and Bentley has to paw the tempting ball away with Hojlund obstructing him.

14:40
After their unsuccessful corner, United stay high and earn another free-kick. This time it's on the left as Garnacho is carved down by Agbadou.

14:38
ERIKSEN! Eriksen fires his free-kick from range on target, and Bentley has to push the dipping ball over his crossbar for a corner!

14:37
Mazraoui manages to roulette past a couple of players in yellow before being blocked off by Agbadou for a central free-kick. Great skill.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:35
United have another corner on the left. Eriksen whips it right on top of Bentley on the line, and the keeper does well to punch away. The home side keep up the pressure as Fredricson tees up a Dorgu ball on the right. Hojlund can't get a touch, and it's out for a goal kick.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:33
After United's corner is cleared, a tense midfield battle ensues with Andre picking up a booking for stamping on Ugarte's foot. Ouch.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:31
Garnacho races through the Wolves' ranks as Munetsi, Cunha, and Strand Larsen have a nice bit of interplay broken up. The play ends with a United corner on the left as Ait Nouri has to clear a dangerous ball behind.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:29
Ait Nouri fouls Dorgu on United's right side, yet the hosts give up possession straight from the free-kick. The ball then returns with a long ball going through to Onana. Munetsi tracks back well to spark something of a counter before Lindelof wins the battle between Sweden and Norway with Strand Larsen.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:26
How about an interesting fact as Semedo puts a floating shot from range into the stands? Manchester United have won all four of their home league games played on Easter Sunday by an aggregate score of 9-1. Meanwhile, this is Wolves’ first ever league match played on the day.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:25
Toti somewhat botches a cross from the left for Wolves before Andre sees a second ball blocked. Semedo and Amass spar on the right before the away side switch. This leads to Ait Nouri being contained but still able to win a throw and keep the pressure up.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:23
Breaking out of a lull where the ball is contained to midfield, Mainoo looks to slide in Garnacho between Agbadou and Bueno. Agbadou, however, reacts well after an initially stumbling touch, to clear out wide.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:21
Amass looks to stride down United's left, yet Semedo contains him momentarily before Garnacho can come and help out. The hosts then look to switch the play before a battle on the right results with Wolves having a throw and getting more touches of the ball at the back.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:19
Hojlund nearly gets in behind Wolves' back three but Bentley is quick to run out and slide the ball away.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:18
Agbadou gets across to Garnacho with expert precision after the latter is poked through by a sprawling Mainoo. United seem contained with the resulting throw on the left, yet readily take their time with possession.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:16
Hojlund knocks down a ball for Mainoo inside the Wolves box, and the youngster stumbles under pressure from Agbadou. Referee Jones isn't buying it, despite Old Trafford's penalty cries!
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:14
Wolves' short passing has been a joy to watch in tight spaces so far. Andre, Ait-Nouri and Cunha link up down the left before the latter is brought down by Mazraoui for a free-kick just outside the box by the left byline. Cunha whips it in but Lindelof gets a strong head on it to clear.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:12
Following their 2-0 win on Boxing Day, Wolves are looking to complete their first league double over Manchester United since 1979-80. They've looked promising here so far in the early stages.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:11
A long ball finds Cunha on the left. Dorgu catches up with the forward, yet a cute inside pass to Ait-Nouri can't be stopped. The Algerian then tries a cross-box ball from the left byline, but a recovering touch from a red defender ends the danger and United clear. Hojlund is nearly set away in behind, but Toti recovers well to nod out for a throw.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:09
Garnacho shows great early signs here as he runs at Bueno on the left of the box. The defender stands his ground, and clears behind with a touch off Garnacho bringing a goal kick. It feels like a suitable time to just amend the starting XI for Wolves. Jose Sa withdrew before the game and has been replaced by Dan Bentley.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:07
Wolves start brightly, popping the ball around smartly down the left before Dorgu reacts well. In the next phase, the men in yellow continue their earlier on-ball confidence with United taking on a very stubborn structure until Onana gets a goal kick.

14:04
And we're off at Old Trafford!

14:04
Following the Stone Roses, the Premier League anthem and John Denver all blending into the matchday playlist, the players shake hands. The captains meet the man in the middle, and it seems that the visitors will kick us off, playing from right to left.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
13:59
Manchester United have lost just one of their last 13 home league games against Wolves (W9 D3), going down 1-0 in January 2022 under Ralf Rangnick. While their historic results may reflect comfort in this fixture, recent tumultuous times and excellent Wolves form suggests that today could be a tricky baptism for the young boys Amass and Fredicson. It'll certainly be intriguing to see how they fare. Today's referee is Robert Jones. He leads the players out of the tunnel and onto the Old Trafford turf to an excellent reception.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
13:45
Matheus Cunha is back in the Wolves starting 11 for the first time since the start of March. The Brazilian is one of two changes for a Wolves side looking to win five consecutive top-flight matches for the first time since 1970. Hugo Bueno has replaced Matt Doherty in defence.
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
13:45
Twenty-year-old Tyler Fredricson is handed his Manchester United debut, and 18-year-old Harry Amass is also named in a starting line-up showing five changes to the side that beat Lyon so dramatically on Thursday. Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes are among those on the bench, with Luke Shaw 'rested’ and missing out altogether.

Fresh off one of their most iconic recent comebacks, Manchester United look to carry their momentum into today’s Premier League clash with Wolves. The day’s hosts unbelievably netted three goals in six extra-time minutes to seal their midweek European victory, while the visitors come into the match as one of the league's most in-form sides, having won four straight games. United are currently 14th, yet European exploits have put a poor league season to the back of the collective mind. Wolves are 17th, but with those aforementioned four wins in a row, the ‘Old Gold’ are shining, sitting above the drop zone by 14 points. United’s last league outing saw them lose 4-1 against Newcastle, while Wolves’ previous match saw them beat Spurs 4-2 at Molineux.
