We’ve got the small matter of a Manchester derby on Wednesday evening and it could have major implications on the Premier League title race and the battle to finish in the top four. All eyes will be on Old Trafford come 8pm on Wednesday night…
Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers face Arsenal under the Molineux floodlights. The hosts have performed admirably against the Premier League’s top clubs in recent weeks and Unai Emery’s side will need to be on top form to claim three points.
Manchester United have struggled to inspire confidence since naming Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as permanent manager. The Red Devils know that victory on Wednesday could gift the title to arch rivals Liverpool but City winning the crown isn’t ideal either.
United are in a catch 22 but they will be focused on winning – three points will put the Red Devils back in the top four hunt. Without further ado, let’s get down to Wednesday’s best Premier League Odds tips – it should be a thrilling night of football…
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs Arsenal
Wolves have been simply sublime in their first season back in the Premier League and a top seven finish is still on the cards. Raul Jimenez will lead the line for the hosts and 13/8 for the Portuguese star to get his name on the scoresheet could turn out to be a huge price.
Emery will have his side fired up and ready to bounce back after losing to Crystal Palace on Sunday. Three points will be enough for Arsenal to regain their spot in the top four – 31/20 is a decent price for an away win given the quality in the Gunners squad.
Arsenal’s away league form has been woeful at best over the last few years and the Gunners may be in for another tough trip here. 4/1 for Wolves to win with both teams scoring could be the bet of the evening.
TIP: Wolves to win and both teams to score @ 4/1
PREDICTED SCORE: Wolves 2-1 Arsenal (Priced at 17/2 with 888sport)
Manchester United vs MANCHESTER CITY
Ole is at the wheel but United have a faulty engine at this moment in time. The Red Devils have lost six of their last eight matches and defeat here will all but end any chance of a top four berth. Punters fancying the hosts can take 2/1 for United to win OR draw.
Pep Guardiola’s side have won their last 10 Premier League games, keeping clean sheets in seven of those victories. A ‘win to nil’ for City is priced at 8/5 ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Old Trafford and Blues fans will be quietly confident of a comfortable success.
Kevin de Bruyne will miss this clash but City have enough quality to cope in his absence. The 11/10 for Pep’s men to score in both halves represents solid value given their dominance in recent weeks. This could get ugly for United if City make an early breakthrough.
TIP: Manchester City to score in both halves @ 11/10
PREDICTED SCORE: Man United 0-3 Man City (Priced at 9/1 with 888sport)
