No Harder Match Could Have Been Found For Manchester United

Says ARCHIE QUICK

No harder match could have been found for Manchester United a week before their Cup Semi-final than a visit to Wolverhampton. The Wanderers have an outside chance of the Champlonship, and they will probably lessen the gap with a win at Molineux.

Close behind the leaders cote Preston, 'Spurs and Blackpool, and all three should win, for Blackpool's opponents, Birmingham City, have Cup thoughts on their minds, and 'Spurs and Preston meet two clubs in the relegation doldrums, Pertsmouth and Sunderland.
