Wolves to beat Everton @ 3.47
In a relegation scrap, Everton host Wolves with both managers on the brink needing a win not only for their own job security, but to attempt to remove themselves from the drop conversation.
Wolves have been in decent form recently, winning two of their last three and scoring 10 goals in that time. Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand-Larsen have stepped up with key performances, something Gary O’Neil will be extremely thankful for.
Everton are on a slippery slope after a fast start, risking a downward spiral they may not be able to control. Without a win in their last five, it is crunch time for manager Sean Dyche. The Toffees have struggled for goals recently and that is why we are giving the edge to the Black Country club.
Arsenal to beat Manchester United @ 1.44
Historically a classic but maybe less significant in recent times where the Gunners have been far outperforming their Manchester enemies. But the edge is always there due to the bitter rivalry and we expect the game to be as fiery as ever.
It is hard to judge the impact of United’s new manager Ruben Amorim just yet, but after two Premier League games in charge, the Red Devils are yet to lose under the Portuguese boss. But this week will be their toughest test as they visit the capital to take on second-placed Arsenal.
The Gunners are still believing in their title hopes, despite being nine points behind leaders Liverpool, placing further emphasis on the importance of a win on Wednesday night. But in excellent form and finally finding their feet after key returns from injury, we have this down as a fairly routine home victory.
Bournemouth to beat Tottenham @ 2.60
In an extremely tough clash to call, Tottenham make the journey down south in patchy form but hoping to return to North London with all three points. As usual, Spurs have been completely unpredictable in the league, winning some games comfortably and losing others they are heavy favourites to win.
Just when they appear to have hit some form they fall off, so you never know what shape their side will take. But as they have shown this season, if a strong Spurs show up, few that can stop them. Not even the formidable Manchester City could stop a 4-0 away rout.
Despite recent losses to Brighton and Brentford, Bournemouth have been extremely impressive under Andoni Iraola this season and will want to get back into the win column this week. They have been prolific in attack, with star performers including Antoine Semenyo and record signing Evanilson. We think the Cherries will bring challenges Spurs cannot solve and take the win.
Fulham vs Brighton: Both teams to score @ 1.50
Brighton are vastly overperforming pre-season expectations under new boss Fabian Hurzeler, sitting fourth and above reigning champions City. They have also managed wins over top-half rivals Spurs and Newcastle. Summer signings Ferdi Kadioglu and Matt O’Riley have settled in perfectly and look to be stellar additions to a well-rounded squad.
Fulham have similarly done some smart business. Arsenal prodigies Emile Smith-Rowe and Reiss Nelson joined Marco Silva’s squad and have been excellent, as has new man Sander Berge.
Both teams have immense firepower and wherever the points go, we think both teams will hit the back of the net.
