Wolverhampton stunned Liverpool in their last encounter with a 3-0 victory. This weekend’s rematch promises to be an intriguing battle, with both teams facing unique challenges.
Liverpool struggled in Saturday 12:30 kick-offs last season, scoring only three goals and often looking sluggish. They need to shake off this trend and avoid conceding early, as they have done recently against Aston Villa and AFC Bournemouth.
Wolverhampton could pose a threat with the direct dribbling of Matheus Cunha and Pedro Neto, potentially exposing Liverpool’s high defensive line. However, Wolverhampton’s record suggests they struggle when conceding early goals.
Liverpool’s organized high press, seen against Villa, offers hope of an alert performance. They’ve attempted the second-most presses in the league this season, indicating their intent to dominate the game from the start.

Fulham’s season started brightly with an opening-day win at Everton. However, their form has since dipped significantly, with defensive concerns plaguing them.
They currently have the highest Expected Goals Against (xGA) in the league, conceding 10 goals. Fulham’s xG of 3.9 is also among the lowest in the league, suggesting offensive struggles.
Their opponent, Luton Town, is experiencing their debut Premier League campaign. This presents a crucial opportunity for Fulham to get back on track and secure a much-needed win. If you feel the same, you can take an adventage of the “PowerPlay” great odds and bet on Fulham win.

Manchester United faces Brighton & Hove Albion in a critical match. A loss would mean three defeats in their first five league games, a situation they haven’t encountered since 1989/90.
Erik ten Hag will look to Rasmus Hojlund, who impressed in their recent defeat to Arsenal. Brighton’s aggressive high line may create counter-attacking opportunities, and Hojlund’s pace could exploit this weakness.
Brighton’s high turnovers make them susceptible to fast runners, and United’s attackers could capitalize on this. It promises to be an intriguing contest, with both teams aiming for a vital win.
