One match ban enabled

Wolves central defender Ryan Bennett is available after a two-match suspension.

Raul Jimenez and Matt Doherty are both expected to start, having featured as substitutes at the weekend, but several other regulars may be rested ahead of Sunday's FA Cup semi-final.

Manchester United's Anthony Martial has shaken off the knock he picked up on Saturday, while Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof are both available.

Alexis Sanchez, Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly and Matteo Darmian remain out.

VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT

Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo: "That was a big moment [last month's FA Cup win over United], but Tuesday is totally different.

"We competed well. We were very organised and we have to do it again because it will require a lot from us.

"Every time we face a team like Manchester United we have to be ready to compete. We know how good they are - fantastic players, fantastic manager, all the history of a huge club, but we are ready and we want to compete well in Molineux"."

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "Last time [in the FA Cup] we didn't play well enough against them, didn't have enough tempo. It was a different type of game for us, we had the ball for 70% of the time but sometimes possession doesn't mean you're going to create chances and score goals."

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Wolves, who knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup last month, are looking to beat the Red Devils twice in the same season for the first time since 1979-80.
Wolves have alternated between victory and defeat in the four previous Premier League meetings at Molineux, most recently losing 5-0 in March 2012.
September's reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw with Wolves' Joao Moutinho cancelling out Fred's opener.
Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves have won just one of their last six league matches (D3, L2).
They are unbeaten in seven home games in all competitions, winning six of them.
Wolves have earned 10 points against the established top six, more than any of the other teams outside that group (W2, D4, L3).
They have scored a league-high four own-goals - three by Conor Coady and other from Matt Doherty.
Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota have provided 11 of Wolves' last 15 home league goals, scoring six and five respectively.
Jota has contributed five goals and three assists in his last six league games at Molineux.
Manchester United

Manchester United have earned more Premier League points than any other side since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho. Their tally of 35 is one more than Liverpool over the same period.
Solskjaer's side have lost their last two away matches in all competitions, having previously won nine successive games on their travels in league and cup.
They have won only one of their nine league fixtures against sides currently in the top seven this term (D4, L4).
The last time United failed to beat a promoted side either home or away in a Premier League campaign was in 2002-03, when they drew at home and lost away to Manchester City.
Paul Pogba has been directly involved in five of United's last eight league goals, scoring two and setting up three.
Since his United debut in February 2016, Marcus Rashford has scored 45 goals for the club in all competitions, more than any other player.

Not sure he was suggesting a swap Spangles, just alternative option.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Whatever he was suggesting, I think we can all agree it was a load of nonsense.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good to know that you speak for everyone. Wolves could have put the game away in the last 15 minutes if they had a seasoned, or natural, goal scorer on the field. This is only my opinion, unlike you, I don't pretend to speak for everyone!

How in any way is Vardy a natural finisher though?

He's similar to Steve Bull - a predator.

In his first season in the Premier League, Jiminez has scored one less than Vardy. Every reason to believe he will score more next season given that in the first couple of months he was playing very well but not scoring. We do need another striker to give cover to Jiminez and Jota but whoever we sign will likely spend most games on the bench. At £30m Jiminez will go down as a bargain buy in today’s market

I was referring to this one (which is who the post was about): In the 2015–16 Premier League season, Vardy scored in eleven consecutive Premier League matches, breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy's record, and was voted the Premier League Player of the Season and FWA Footballer of the Year as Leicester won the title. Vardy made his international debut in June 2015 and was selected for UEFA Euro 2016 and also the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

That's all well and good but he still doesn't have 100 professional league goals so he certainly isn't prolific or a natural goalscorer

Vardy is an excellent striker and Leicester are lucky to have him. Something over 150 goals in about 300 appearances in his career. To think McCarthy wanted to sign him from Fleetwood for about £100k and super Jez wouldn’t approve it.

Wouldn’t swap Jiminez for him though

Nearly "well done" Mick......

He has 95 goals in the top four divisions. And yes he is a good striker in a specific system.
