Match 13 of 30 over this busy festive period sees Wolverhampton Wanderers play host to Manchester United.

This is new Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui’s first Premier League game in charge at Molineux, where the action gets underway at 12:30 GMT.

It’s one change apiece for the two teams in the West Midlands, and Erik ten Hag’s sole alteration is a seismic one.

The 32.9%-owned Marcus Rashford is only among the substitutes this lunchtime, with his place in the starting XI taken by Alejandro Garnacho.

This is no seasonal rest for Rashford – ten Hag has benched him for an unspecified misdemeanour.

“Internal disciplinary.” – Erik ten Hag two-word explanation for Marcus Rashford’s benching

Julen Lopetegui’s one change from the side that defeated Everton sees Matheus Nunes replace Joe Hodge in central midfield.

That means another start for £3.9m-rated FPL defender Hugo Bueno, who once again sees off the challenge of Rayan Ait-Nouri at left-back.
