Saturday brings five exciting games from the top tier of English professional football. The action begins at 12:30 GMT in London when Arsenal host Bournemouth as Mikel Arteta’s side aims to strengthen their title bid. The top-of-the-bill tussle pairs Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium in a game you can follow live on television from 17:30. Will the champions pick up all three points, or can the Wolves pull off a shock?
Saturday evening’s game will be the second time these sides have met this season. Wolves landed a shock win at Molineux back in September. Wolves held the home advantage that day, and they made it count, winning the game thanks to goals from Hee-Chan and a Dias own goal. Man City is out for revenge but is under pressure, knowing anything less than three points could wreck their chances of defending the title.
Man City enjoyed a rare week off with Saturday evening’s game, their first outing since visiting Nottingham Forest last weekend. The champions raced into an early lead at the City Ground when Gvardiol netted inside the opening 32 minutes of play. With Pep Guardiola’s men eliminated from the Champions League, they can focus their attention on what’s left of the Premier League season, and that should bolster their chances. Fans will want to see a better, sharper, and more fluid team between now and the finish line.
Man City is involved in a three-horse race for the Premier League title, but a serious drop in form by Liverpool means their chances are now hanging by a thread. That means it’s almost a straight shoot-out between Man City and Arsenal for the prize, and the champions know every game between now and then, and the finish is a cup final. City must win all remaining matches to repeat last year’s efforts and stage a late smash-and-grab on the title.
Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to the Etihad Stadium and the challenge of Manchester City on the back of a less-than-convincing run of results. Wolves’ last five Premier League results show one win, a draw and three defeats, although they did make a welcome return to winning ways last weekend. They beat Luton 2-1 at Molineux thanks to goals from Hee-Chan and Gomes.
Wolves win over the Hatters was only their 13th of the season, and when taking a closer look at their form, we note they’ve scored 48 goals and conceded 55, which is more goals against than Everton down in 15th. Despite their patchy form and leaky defence, Wolves are miles clear of the relegation zone and have already done enough to ensure they’ll be included in the top-tier fixture list for another season. But how much fight will they have in the tank to attack the champions?
Here, we have a game involving a team challenging for the title with home advantage against an opponent arriving off the back of an important win. The three points mean more to the locals here as they can’t afford to lose ground to Arsenal, who are creeping closer to the Premier League gong with every goal and win. If Man City is anywhere near their best, they’ll have enough quality to win this game, and that’s what we expect to see here.
Wolves are a strong team, and victory at the Etihad Stadium would see them do the double over Man City. The away team certainly can’t win the league, but they’ll have a big say in which team does lift the trophy, and fans camped in the away end would dearly love to see their favourites hurt Guardiola and his men.
