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.

My Prediction: 0-1
Arsenal VS Burnley
