 Manchester United has lost on two of its three visits to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
 Wolverhampton Wanderers has kept only one clean sheet in their last 18 home games in the Premier League.
 Manchester United has won 12 of its 14 games against teams in the bottom half of the Premier League table this season.

 GOAL OF THE WEEK - Didier Drogba for Chelsea against Stoke City
 Following the recent controversial departure of manager Andre Villas-Boas, the long-serving striker handed Chelsea a much needed victory with an expertly taken goal.
 The Stamford Bridge stalwart collected Juan Mata's through-ball 12 yards out and kept his cool to round City keeper Asmir Begovic and stroke then ball into the empty net.
 On the day before his 34th birthday, Didier became the 22nd player to score a total of 100 goals in the Premier League.
 This was Didier's 220th Premier League appearance so making him the ninth quickest player to reach the three figures. Alan Shearer is top of the list having struck his 100th goal in just his 124th game.
 He is the first player from Africa to score 100 Premier League goals and only the second non-European after Dwight Yorke.
