However, they are just three points behind Brighton & Hove Albion in 7th and very much in contention to qualify for Europe next season. Gary O’Neil’s side earned a deserved 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur last time out however they have lost back-to-back home league games against Manchester United (4-3) and Brentford (2-0).

Betting tips

Wolves are undoubtedly the side in the better form and home advantage should be enough to see them take all three points. At 2/5, a home win is priced reasonably enough to consider as a single bet. However, as Sheffield United possess the worst defence in the league with 65 goals conceded, backing Wolves to win and over 2.5 match goals is arguably a better option at 8/13.

The absence of Matheus Cunha through injury is a big blow for Wolves but it does seem that Pedro Neto has put his own injury problems behind him. The Portuguese midfielder has one goal and three assists in Wolves’ last four Premier League games and is priced at 8/11 to score or assist a goal on Sunday.
