Arsenal v Bournemouth

Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium, London
TV: TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate, Saturday, 12:30pm

Arsenal should be winning this but what a great season Bournemouth have had after a difficult start. Cherries’ manager Andoni Iraola has done wonders for them and they’re coming off the back of beating Brighton 3-0 last weekend. Then again, everybody else is also beating Brighton at the moment. But winning 3-0 is still quite something.

But, Arsenal, because of how their season is going, they’ve now won 13 of their 15 Premier League games in 2024 and they’ve conceded just six goals in their last 12 league games too, I think they’re going to be winning here.

Bukayo Saka has scored 19 goals this season in all competitions and 15 in the Premier League which is his best scoring record of his career so far. I see Arsenal winning 2-0.

Manchester City v Wolves

Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester
TV: Sky Sports Premier League/Main Event, Saturday, 5:30pm

Over their two recent away games against Nottingham Forest and Brighton, Manchester City have scored six goals and conceded none. They’re absolutely flying. They’ve won their last five in the Premier League, scoring 19 goals.

However, they’ve been a bit vulnerable at the back.

Gary O’Neil has done a wonderful job at Wolves, they’ve scored more goals, collected more points, and have had more wins than last season. But, last weekend’s 2-1 win at home to Luton was their first victory in their last seven in the league.

I fancy Wolves to score but I’m going for Man City to win 3-1.
