Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Sunday’s football game between Wolverhampton and Chelsea will bring down the curtain on the Premier League round 18. The Wolves have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Burnley, sharing the spoils with Nottingham Forest, while losing to West Ham United. Gary O’Neil is likely to make changes to the team that suffered the heavy loss in London, with both Rayan Ait Nouri and Thomas Doyle pushing for a start.
All Pedro Neto, Joe Hodge, and Jose Sa are out of contention with injuries. As expected, Chelsea defeated Sheffield United 2-0 in their last league match to regain a much-needed confidence. As Mauro Pochettino can count on key players for Saturday’s showdown, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. All Marc Cucurella, Reece James, Noni Madueke, Benjamin Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Trevoh Chalobah are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Raheem Sterling):
Raheem Sterling is an English professional footballer plays for Manchester City in the Premier League. The winger who is known for his lightning pace and dribbling ability started his youth career as a five-year-old playing for Alpha and Omega. In 2003, he joined QPR's youth academy and spent seven years with them before signing for Liverpool in 2010.
At Liverpool, Sterling made his professional debut, coming on as a substitute in a league match against Wigan Athletic on the 24th of March, 2012. He went on to make over 120 appearances in all competitions for the Reds, scoring 23 goals and providing 25 assists in the process. In August 2015, Sterling joined Manchester City on a transfer worth 49 million pounds, which made the most expensive English footballer at the time.
Since signing for the Citizens, Sterling has enjoyed a trophy-laden career winning every English domestic trophy available and has molded himself into one of the best players in the league. Sterling, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica, holds both the English and Jamaican citizenship but chose to represent England at the International stage. The 24-year-old has capped at every youth level and won his first cap for the senior team on the 14th of November, 2012. He has since featured 53 times for the Three Lions.
