1. Join us at 1730 GMT to see if Wolves can stop Man Utd reaching a club record 30 games unbeaten.

2. <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2011/0201/waynerooneysecondgoal20110102_275x155.jpg"><br> Wayne Rooney is in top form.

3. Sir Alex Ferguson has set his side an <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/876004/sir-alex-ferguson-sets-manchester-united-84-point-title-target?cc=5739" target="_blank">84 point target</a> to win the league.

4. Right, we're almost ready for kick-off here at Molineux; the players have just come out of the tunnel. Wolves have beaten Chelsea here already this season, but can they claim a second famous scalp?

5. Slight change to the stated line-up, Jonny Evans has beend rafted in for Rio Ferdinand - who was injured in the warm up.

6. 1'

   And we're off...

7. 1'

   An early opportunity for Wolves to get forward with Jarvis and he's got a bit of space on the left.

8. 2'

   Nani dallies on the ball in the box and it breaks to Milijas, who fires a shot high over the bar.

9. 3'

   <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Nani

10. 3'

    <b>Wolves 0-1 Man Utd.</b> A terrific solo effort from the United winger, he advanced at pace down the right, cut into the box and after a couple of setpovers, fired past Wayne Hennessey at the near post.

11. 4'

    Nani was given far too much time on the ball when he got into the penalty area. Poor defending. And Wolves had started so brightly.

12. 5'

    A half-chance for Rooney, Berbatov dinked the ball into his path and he took it first time but couldn't quite angle a shot past Hennessey.

13. 5'

    Mick McCarthy looked absolutely livid as that goal went in and rightly so.

14. 6'

    Nani stings Hennessey's hands again with a fierce effort from 25 yards out.

15. 8'

    <i>Stats: Defeat for Wolves would signal four successive league defeats for a third time this season. </i>

16. 10'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Elokobi

17. 10'

    <b>Wolves 1-1 Man Utd.</b> Left-wing cross from Matthew Jarvis and Elokobi was free as a bird to head it past Van der Sar.

18. 10'

    Elokobi smashed the corner flag over in a rather over-exuberant celebration. He's done well to avoid a yellow card.

19. 12'

    And we've got a bit more of a game on our hands now. The strange thing is that it was a relatively quiet opening ten minutes aside from the goals!

20. 13'

    Nani makes some space down the right again, but his cut back towards Fletcher on the edge of the area is underhit.

21. 13'

    Rooney looked to feed Berbatov with a curling through-ball but it was a a little bit long for a striker hardly know for his electric pace.

22. 14'

    Giggs fires in a low cross and it's deflected out for a corner off Zubar.

23. 15'

    Vidic penalised for climbing and Wolves have the ball.

24. 16'

    Nani still seeing plenty of the ball and United have another corner now thanks to his aggressive running.

25. 17'

    Again Wolves clear their lines, but not before Vidic and Rooney had threatened to combine.

26. 18'

    Nani showing some twinkle-toed footwork on the right wing to give Rafael some space. Hennesey collects his cross easily enough though.

27. 19'

    Shot from Berbatov straight at Hennessey. The Bulgarian brought down Nani's cross exquisitely but struggled to generate any power.

28. 20'

    Good bit of possession from Wolves across the midfield, with some good exchanges between Hammill and O'Hara. But there is no tangible result to speak of and the move breaks down.

29. 21'

    Berbatov again supplied by Nani's right-1ing cross, but this time his header is over the bar.

30. 22'

    Wolves free-kick now inside the United half, O'Hara standing over the ball.

31. 23'

    Vidic scoops the ball awayand United look to launch another attack. Excellent piece of defending by Berra to snuff out Evra's advances down the left.

32. 24'

    Wolves just finding their feet now for the first time since their equaliser and looking to exert some pressure on United. Doyle has a chance...

33. 24'

    But Vidic is on hand to stop him stepping through and engineering a shot.

34. 25'

    Jarvis now over on the right wing and he accelerates away from Vidic with Wolves now mounting some sustained pressure - until Berbatov (I kid you not) tracks back to intercept.

35. 26'

    United awarded a free-kick after Stearman crashes into Rooney. nani looks to fancy his chances, it's about 25 yards out on the left side of the box.

36. 27'

    Decent hit by Nani, but just too high.

37. 28'

    <i>Stats: United may be unbeaten but they have four less points than Arsenal's 'invincibles' did at this stage. United have 15 wins and nine draws from 24 games, compared with the Gunners' 17 wins and seven draws. </i>

38. 29'

    Carrick looks for a diagonal pass towards Nani. that's the first time I've mentioned his name because he has been utterly anonymous.

39. 31'

    Wolves have a corner which they take quickly, catching United off guard. O'Hara has a shot from a tigh angle ont he near right side, which Van der Sar turns away with his feet.

40. 32'

    The second corner is dealt with by United and they come forward now with Nani.

41. 32'

    Fletcher tries some sort of Messi-esque scooped pass, which just bobbles embarrassingly thtough to Hennessey.

42. 33'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2011/0205/naniceleb20110205_275x155.jpg"><br> Nani celebrates netting United's third-minute opener.

43. 34'

    Nani pickpockets Elokobi, but Berra gets in the way of the Portuguese winger's subsequent cross.

44. 35'

    Evra skips past Zubar with a drop of the shoulder and looks towards Berbatov with the cross, but the Bulgarian is called up by the ref for fouling Berra as he challenged for the ball.

45. 36'

    O'Hara advances for Wolves and Rafael brings down Milijas on the edge of the box. Dangerous position, about 20 yards out on the left-side of the area.

46. 37'

    Milijas strikes it and it takes a big deflection off the wall and out for a corner. Van der Sar was motionless, completely wrongfooted.

47. 37'

    Jarvis delivers but it's all the way over the top and out for a throw-in on the far side.

48. 38'

    Zubar brings Wolves out of defence with a marauding run that saw him cover about 60 yards. It ended with him winning a free-kick on the right edge of Untied's area. Great run.

49. 40'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Doyle

50. 40'

    <b>Wolves 2-1 Man Utd.</b> Milijas delivered and Elokobi headed it onto Doyle and into the net.

51. 40'

    And once again, United find themselves losing away from home this season.

52. 42'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Henry is booked for bringing down Evans in full flight

53. 42'

    Giggs to deliver...

54. 42'

    Collected by Hennessey, much to the delight of the Molineux faithful.

55. 43'

    Doyle escapes the clutches of Evans down the left, but his shot is straight at Van der Sar.

56. 43'

    Wolves have really been lifted and they are continuing to press United high up the pitch.

57. 44'

    <i>Stats: United have won their last six matches against Wolves since a 1-0 Premier League defeat at Molineux in January 2004. Could that be about to change?! </i>

58. 45'

    Rooney releases Rafael down the right and he crosses towards Nani. But the United winger can't keep his header down.

59. 45'

    Rooney takes a swipe at fellow Liverpudlian Adam Hammilland is fortunate to avoid a yellow card for what was a rather intentional kick.

60. 45'

    There's the half-time whistle...

61. 45'

    <b>Half-time. Wolves 1-2 Man Utd.</b> After Nani opened the scoring, Wolves must have feared a repeat of last week's 3-0 thrashing by Liverpool. But they fought back and it will be interesting to see if United can manage to come from behind again thanks to goals from Elokobi and Doyle.

62. 45'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2011/0205/elokobigoal20110205_275x155.jpg"><br>George Elokobi headed home Wolves' equaliser before playing a big part in their second goal.

63. 45'

    Today has seen an unbelievable 41 goals scored in the Premier League and you can <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/876572/prem-lge:-toon-complete-stunning-comeback?cc=5739" target="_blank">catch up with our review of the Saturday afternoon games here.</a> highlights include Arsenal throwing away a four-goal lead against Newcastle as the Magpies drew 4-4, and Everton beating Blackpool 5-3 thanks to four goals from Louis Saha.

64. 45'

    This is, of course, United's first game since Gary Neville announced his retirement. Here, <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story/_/id/875356/kevin-keegan:-gary-neville-right-to-retire-when-he-did?cc=5739" target="_blank">former England manager Kevin Keegan pens his own tribute to the right-back</a> who polarised football opinion for almost two decades.

65. 45'

    And we're off for the second half...

66. 46'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Scholes on for Carrick at half-time. Should be a good second 45 in store, as United certainly need to chase the game. But will Wolves be able to capitalise and hit the league leaders on the break?

67. 47'

    Vidic fires the ball forward towards Rooney, but Zubar does well to win the second ball.

68. 47'

    United have a corner now, but Wolves clear their lines.

69. 48'

    Nani strikes one from the edge of the area but he fails to get any bend on it and it's straight out for a goal kick.

70. 49'

    Giggs feeds the ball to Berbatov but he is offside.

71. 49'

    <i>Stats: This is Mick McCarthy's 100th match as a Premier League manager (W17, D18, L64).</i>

72. 50'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> O'Hara booked for pulling back Darren Fletcher as he looked to break.

73. 50'

    Nani stands up a cross but Hennessey collects with ease.

74. 51'

    Wolves had threatened with Zubar just before O'Hara's booking. His cross caused all sorts of prolems in the United box.

75. 52'

    Neither team really asserting themselves yet on this game and Scholes needs to see a bit more of the ball.

76. 53'

    He's heading the same way as Carrick at the moment.

77. 54'

    Doyle leads the break for Wolves and after an exchange with Jarvis, sets up O'Hara, whose shot is blocked by Fletcher.

78. 55'

    Fletcher takes the ball away from O'Hara and is brought down cynically. Probably should have been a second yellow, but the Wolves midfielder escapes another caution.

79. 56'

    Rafael fizzes a cross in and Scholes can;t quite direct his effort goalwards as he arrives late.

80. 57'

    <i>Stats: Dimitar Berbatov has scored 19 league goals this season - only five fewer than Wolves' entire team. </i>

81. 58'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> McCarthy wisely withdraws O'Hara, with Kevin Foley coming on in his place.

82. 59'

    United corner now. It's taken quickly but Hennessey again collects. He's been extremely solid since getting beaten at the near post for United's opener.

83. 61'

    Evans slides in and wins United a goal-kick with a well-timed challenge, with Elokobi storming through.

84. 62'

    Nani's cross is over Rooney and Berbatov, thanks in the main to some solid defensive work from Wolves centre-backs Berra and Stearman.

85. 63'

    Wolves break now with Doyle after Rafael failed to find Rooney with a cut back.

86. 63'

    And the home side knocking it around patiently.

87. 63'

    I think Rafael may have dislocated a couple of fingers, he looks in some discomfort.

88. 64'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Ward on for Hammill

89. 64'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Smalling on for Evans

90. 64'

    Rafael's taped up and will continue, Evans was limping as he went off, it's not clear what his injury is just yet.

91. 65'

    United preparing to introduce Hernandez.

92. 66'

94. 67'

    <i>Stats: United have won all three Premier League matches against West Midlands clubs in 2011, scoring 10 goals. </i>

95. 68'

    Wolves standing firm at the moment and United beginning to look a little frustrated as they probe for an opening.

96. 69'

    Zubar on the charge for Wolves down the right. He feeds in Doyle, but Vidic is across to win the tackle.

97. 70'

    Nani tries one from 25 yards but it is harmlessly wide.

98. 71'

    United kept possession on the edge of the box but the black and gold wall would not move. Wolves defending resolutely, Ferguson's side starting to look desperate.

99. 72'

    Jarvis gets in behind Evra down Wolves' right wing, but his cross is a touch early and just fizzes across the edge of the box.

100. 74'

     Rafael keeps lookin down in pain at his hand, he's struggling.

101. 75'

     Van der Sar almost heads the ball into some bother when coming far out of his area but Smalling calmly clears up.

102. 76'

     Wolves sitting right back now and inviting pressure, just aiming to hit when they can on the counter.

103. 76'

     But United appear be bereft of ideas, there have been no clear chances in the second half.

     Hennessey flaps at a cross and the ball breaks to Rooney, but his shot is deflected out for a corner.

     Giggs and Rooney look to combine, but again the final pass is not quite there. Wolves must be given credit though, Berra and Stearman have been immense.

     <b>Wolves 2-1 Man Utd</b>. A famous victory for Wolves, and a first Premier League defeat of the season of United, who remain four points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table but who have missed an excellent opportunity.

152. 95'

     It was a great performance from Wolves, but really it was very poor from United, suddenly Arsenal's draw looks like a point gained. Despite beating the league leaders, Wolves remain bottom - but they are level on points with West Ham and Birmingham.
