EPL – Week 3 Preview

We’re now heading into the third week of the EPL season and with some quality matches to take place we thought we’d provide our preview and key insights.

Wolves V Manchester City – Saturday 25th of August,12:30pm, Molineux Stadium

Manchester City has started the season in sensational form after defeating Arsenal 2-0 then Huddersfield 6-1 and will be looking to continue that form into this match.

Meanwhile, Wolves are yet to notch their first win for the season and after a 2-0 loss to Leicester City it seems their defence is a key issue. It is something they’ll want to fix quickly as Manchester City have no problems finding the back of the net.

Some key insights for the match are:

• Manchester City have won five of their last six EPL matches against Wolverhampton.
• The ‘Over 3.5 Goals’ market has hit in seven of Manchster City’s last 10 EPL matches.

Arsenal V West Ham United – Saturday 25th of August, 3:00pm, Emirates Stadium

It is the first time since the 92/93 season that Arsenal have started the season with two loses. Although, they haven’t had the easiest start with Man City and Chelsea as their opponents. Unai Emery, Arsenal’s new manager, has his best chance yet to get his first win with the club here at home.
