Wigan Athletic vs Preston North End
Saturday 8th February 2020
SkyBet Championship, DW Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 12:30 GMT

Wigan Athletic will host Preston North End in SkyBet Championship action this Saturday lunchtime.

Both Lancashire based teams have had rather different campaign up until now. Wigan are deep in a relegation battle with just seven wins from their 30 matches this season but have found some impressive form with an incredible victory over Leeds United in their last match. Meanwhile, Preston are battling it out for a play-off place and are currently seventh in the league and are unbeaten in four outings.

Wigan Athletic are priced at 13/8 to win this match by SkyBet despite their dismal league position. The Latics have pulled themselves together after a poor first half of the season and managed their best win of the campaign last time out, beating Leeds 1-0. However, they have not won three consecutive matches since March 2018 and were under plenty of pressure for much of their match with Leeds.

Striker Kieffer Moore is finding his feet in a Wigan shirt after some time and the target man is priced at 11/5 to score anytime.

Preston North End are also priced at 13/8 to win this match as the bookmakers predict it a tough match to call. The visitors will be hoping to return to winning ways after a frustrating draw with Swansea City. They are unbeaten in four and have much more quality all over the pitch against this Wigan side.

New signing Scott Sinclair opened his account in their last match and is priced at 11/2 to score first and keep that momentum going.

The referee for this match will be Darren England. The official has been one of the more lenient this season when it comes to brandishing cards. He has an average of 32.1 booking points from his 14 second division matches this term.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 12:30pm.

Prediction: Wigan Athletic 1-2 Preston North End

– Despite their good form, Preston are much higher up in the table for a reason.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City
Sunday 2nd February 2020
FA Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-off – 16:30 GMT

Tottenham and Manchester City go head to head in Premier League action this Super Sunday.

Spurs are struggling for consistency this season and only scrapped a 2-1 victory over Norwich in their last league outing. However, their home form is decent with three wins in their last four. Meanwhile, Manchester City are unbeaten in their last eight matches across all competitions, winning seven of them.

Tottenham are priced at 9/2 to win this match by SkyBet and pull off a shock victory against an in-form City side. Jose Mourinho is chugging along nicely with Spurs without doing anything spectacular. The loss of Harry Kane has been huge for them however they are still in the mix for a top four finish.

Attacker Son Heung-Min has had to try and fill the shoes of the injured Kane this season. He has six goals, seven assists and is priced at 9/4 to score anytime.

Manchester City are priced at 8/15 to win this match and extend their unbeaten run in the faint hope of catching league leaders Liverpool. Pep Guardiola’s side are looking less able to defend their Premier League title with Liverpool running away in the league. However, it hasn’t ruined their spirit as they are in great form and scoring goals for fun.

Striker Sergio Aguero has scored six goals in his last three Premier League matches and has a total of 16 goals for the season. He is priced at 12/5 to open the scoring at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The referee for this match will be Mike Dean. The official is the most experienced in Premier League history and is not shy when it comes to reaching into his pocket. Dean has averaged 46.1 booking points from his 18 topflight matches this season.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 16:30 GMT.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Manchester City

– The visitors are in really good form against a host team who are struggling to impress.

Manchester United vs Wolves
Saturday 1st February 2020
FA Premier League, Old Trafford

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-off – 17:30 GMT

Manchester United will host Wolves in Premier League action this Saturday evening.

The Red Devils are entering this match on the back end of two league defeats against Liverpool and Burnley. Since, they comfortably beat Tranmere in the FA Cup. Meanwhile, Wolves are struggling for consistent results but are performing well with their think, yet talented squad.

Manchester United are priced at 11/10 to win the match by SkyBet and turn their league form around. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are being heavily criticised this season for poor performances but are fifth in the league. They are one 34 points – the same as Wolves – and are struggling to make any ground on Chelsea who are four points ahead.

The injury to Marcus Rashford has caused a huge headache for them and more responsibility will fall on the shoulders of Anthony Martial. He has eight goals this season and is priced at 13/10 to score anytime at Old Trafford.

Wolves are priced at 13/5 to win the match against a struggling United side – great odds given their recent performances up against their opponents. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are currently seventh in the division but have their eyes on the top four – a potential possibility. However, despite playing well most weeks they have just one win in their last five matches.

Going forward, Adama Traore has been a revelation this season and is causing defences loads of problems with his frightening pace. He is priced at 9/2 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Paul Tierney. The official is one of the more lenient in the Premier League and has averaged 34.4 booking points from his 17 topflight matches in charge this term.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 17:30.

Prediction: Manchester United 1-2 Wolves

– There could be an upset on the cards after recent showings from the visitors.
