Gameweek 23 of the Premier League is upon us, and we look at some of the potential outcomes from this week’s thrilling battles including the high-octane clash between Manchester City and Chelsea.
Wolves vs Arsenal
Arsenal will travel to Molineux to take on Wolves in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to continue their title charge with a win away from home. The Gunners have failed to win two of their last three league games, and they cannot afford to keep dropping points pull stop
Meanwhile, the home side are 17th in the league table, and they are fighting relegation. The Black Country outfit are coming into this game on the back of three consecutive defeats in the Premier League, and they will need to raise their performance levels in order to get a good result here.
Arsenal have won their last seven matches against Wolves, and they have kept a clean sheet in 6 of the last eight away games against Wolves. They will be the favourites to pick up a win here.
Probable Bet: Arsenal win
Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest
Bournemouth host Nottingham Forest at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to continue their recent run of form and grind out a good result here.
The Cherries are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games, and they are coming into this game on the back of an impressive result against Chelsea and Newcastle United. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are third in the league table with five wins from their last six league games. Both teams are in impressive form here, and they could cancel each other out. The last two matches between these two sides have ended in a draw and this one could follow suit.
Probable Bet: Draw
