Premier League action takes center stage on Wednesday night with the two Manchester clubs facing off at Old Trafford while Unai Emery’s Arsenal travel face Wolves. Let’s take a look at the facts in play and the likely scenarios at the final whistle..
Manchester United-Manchester City
Arsenal’s loss to Crystal Palace in the weekend coupled with Chelsea’s draw with Brighton means that Manchester United’s top 4 hopes are still alive despite a losing 4-0 last time out at Everton. Naturally, it means that the Red Devils will be looking for a reaction tonight and Ole Gunnar will not want to extend his unwanted record of losing 6 of the last 8 matches he has managed.
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City re however the team to beat this season an are fully aware that there are no margins for error at this late stage of the season. He will be out for a win which should take his team back into the top of the table with 3 games left to play.
TIP
Manchester United have not scored from open play in their last 4 matches and that record will end tonight especially due to t the fact that they will be at home against their worst enemy. Manchester city always score so Both teams to score @1.75
Arsenal-Wolves
The Gunners lost last time out at home to Wilfred Zaha’s Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium. A top finish is still in their hands following Chelsea’s draw with Burnley but Unai Emery’s men know that there can be no more slip-ups moving forward. Sokratis and Granit Xhaka are expected to be back after missing in Sunday’s loss.
Wolves have not recovered from their Wembley heartbreak where they lost the FA Cup semi final to Watford despite leading 2-0 at one point. They have only won 2 of the last 6 and lost their last match 3-1.
TIP
Arsenal cannot afford to lose this one and Unai Emery knows that all too well. Arsenal to win @2.46
