Wolverhampton Wanderers can leapfrog Manchester United in the Premier League table if they claim maximum points in Thursday's contest at Molineux.
The hosts will be seeking revenge against the Red Devils after they suffered a controversial 1-0 defeat in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford back in August last year.
Wolves extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to seven matches when they secured a 2-0 victory over rivals West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, but the Black County derby was marred by crowd trouble at The Hawthorns.
Pedro Neto's first-half opener was followed by a 78th-minute strike from Matheus Cunha, but unsavoury scenes then boiled over in one corner of the ground which forced the contest to be suspended for around 38 minutes. Players were led off the field, including West Brom defender Kyle Bartley who intervened to removed his daughter from the stand.
The FA have since stated that they will investigate the "inexcusable" violence which led to six people being arrested, while several supporters and police officers sustained injuries – one fan was taken away on a stretcher by paramedics and another was seen with blood pouring down his face.
