Sky Sports football expert Lewis Jones has identified intriguing possibilities for this weekend's Premier League fixtures, including a potential shock result at the Etihad Stadium.
Defensive Wolves Pose City Challenge
Saturday's clash between Manchester City and Wolves (3pm kickoff) presents an unexpected betting opportunity. Jones suggests Wolves' revamped defensive structure under Rob Edwards could disrupt City's rhythm: "Wolves rank second for expected goals against in their last eight matches – that's elite defensive organization."
With City navigating a chaotic week off the pitch, Jones advises against backing the heavy 1/5 favorites: "The under 3.5 goals market at 4/5 offers better value, while adventurous punters might consider Wolves at 10/1 for a seismic upset."
