Wolves VS Tottenham
Wolves controversially lost 2-1 at Sheffield United last weekend and they currently sit 14th in the table. Tottenham were thrashed 4-1 at home by Chelsea last time out and they are currently second in the league. In their previous 15 meetings, Wolves have won 4 times whilst Spurs have won 7 times. Each of the last five league meetings between these two sides has seen only one side score a goal. For Wolverhampton Wanderers, they are definitely capable of getting a result from this game. Wolves are ranked 11th in GPG (1.3) and they’re currently on a 9-game streak when it comes to failing to keep Clean Sheets. As for Tottenham Hotspur, they’ll be wanting to bounce back after a disastrous Monday Night. Spurs are ranked 6th in GPG (2.1) and they currently have the best away record in the league.
My Prediction: 0-1
Arsenal VS Burnley

In their previous 15 meetings, Arsenal have won 11 times whilst Burnley have only won once. That win for Burnley came back in December 2020 (thanks to an Aubameyang own goal). For Arsenal, they should win this game comfortably. The Gunners are ranked 6th in GPG (2.1) and they currently have the 5th-best home record in the league.
