Despite being winless this Premier League (PL) campaign (D3, L1), Wolves can go 11 top-flight home games unbeaten for the first time since 1971/72 with a mere clean sheet. Wolves’ record from their last ten PL home games offers encouragement this could happen (W6, D4), with the hosts failing to find the net just once during that run.

Manchester united vs Leicester City 14.9.2019
With just one clean sheet across 19 competitive matches, Manchester United’s faltering defense continues to be an issue. The half-time team talks clearly aren’t helping, with three of the Red Devils’ four goals conceded this season coming in the second half.
It’s not just the United defense that is struggling at present, and damningly, the ‘Red Devils’ have scored less than 1.5 match goals in nine of their previous ten competitive fixtures.

Arsenal vs Totenham EPL 1.9.2019
Arsenal takes on Tottenham Hotspur in the 199th north London derby and leading the overall series 82 to 64 (D52). With just one loss in the last 26 league H2Hs at home (W15, D10), the ‘Gunners’ enter the contest as favorites – a scenario that has seen them win 14 of their last 17 home Premier League (PL) games (D2, L1) when favored as such.
An opening home victory means Arsenal have now scored in their last 19 PL games here, with 12 of those seeing them win despite a -1 handicap, including a 4-2 win over Tottenham.
Slow starters at home, Arsenal have been ahead at half-time in just eight of their last 20 league games here. Subsequently, they are strong in the second period, scoring 29 goals after the break over that sequence compared to 15 first-half goals.
