There is just one fixture taking place in the EPL this Sunday, so let’s crack on and see where the best options can be found on the betting front.
Man City remain favourites to retain the title at 1/1, while the second favourite, Liverpool, is currently priced at 13/8. Arsenal continues to pique my interest at 7/2, while the remaining teams can be snapped up at a staggering 100/1 or better!

WOLVES v SHEFFIELD UNITED – Click here to bet
Wolves are currently placed 11th on the table with 35 points. In their last 5 fixtures across all competitions, they have secured 3 wins and suffered 2 losses.
Having returned to winning ways last weekend with a stunning 2-1 away victory against Spurs, Wolves enter this game with plenty of confidence. They know this could potentially be a 3 point opportunity. That being said, if we’ve learnt anything over the years, anything can happen in the Premier League!
Wolves have shown glimpses of their potential when everything clicks into gear. Their home record in the EPL reflects a decent campaign so far with 5 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. However, they will need to address their defence, having already conceded 20 goals at Molineux Stadium, resulting in a negative 1 goal difference.
WOLVES RECENT LEAGUE FORM: W.L.W.L.D (W-Won, L-Lost, D-Drawn)
Sheffield United is currently positioned 20th on the table with a meagre 13 points. Their recent performance in the last 5 fixtures across all competitions reflects a very poor outcome with only 1 win and 4 defeats to their name.
Last week’s fixture will quickly want to be forgotten after the Blades were thrashed 5-0 by Brighton. There is cause for concern as they seem to be making a habit of conceding 5 goals or more when one inspects their recent games more closely. This was the 3rd time they have shipped that many in their last 5 outings.
Sheffield United faces an uphill battle if they are to overturn their recent woes and embark on a much-needed winning run. Premier League survival looks unlikely, especially considering their poor performance on the road. It’s unlikely that their much needed momentum shift will be changing anytime soon. Away from home, they have secured 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 9 losses, reflecting the worst record in the league by conceding 29 goals. This statistic underscores just how poorly they have performed overall.

HEAD-TO-HEAD
Sheffield United secured a 2-1 victory over Wolves earlier in the season, but they generally have a poor record when facing Wolves. The win in November was the Blades first victory over Wolves in their last four attempts in all competitions.
Given Sheffield United’s overall poor performance this season and the number of goals they have conceded, it is hard to make a case for them here. They may take some comfort in the fact Wolves have lacked bite at times, entering this encounter with a negative goal difference at Molineux Stadium. While Wolves seem to be the right team to back, the 5/10 odds on the outright may not offer the best value. Considering Wolves tendency to concede at home, exploring alternative betting options may be a worthwhile avenue to pursue.
Recommended Bet: Result and totals, Wolverhampton Wanderers and over 2.5 at 11/10
