Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Sheffield United Prediction

Wolverhampton Wanderers are 12th in the league table, and have registered only one win in their last five league games. Striker Raul Jimenez's injury-enforced absence has proved to be crucial, with the Mexican a key player in Nuno Espirito Santo's system.

Sheffield United, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the league table. Relegation is all but confirmed, and there have been rumours that the club is set to appoint KV Oostende manager Alexander Blessin as their new boss.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have struggled this season, but should be able to beat Sheffield United.

Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 Sheffield United
