Prediction: 3-0
Wolves
Premier League vice-champions Arsenal will look to make a flying start to the new season when they host Wolverhampton to their Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Gunners are determined to put an end to Man City’s dominance in the English top flight and they will not have a better chance than this to kickstart the new domestic campaign in style. As the club chiefs have strengthen defence by adding Italian centre-back Riccardo Calafiori to the squad, home win should definitely be considered.
The Wolves, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run at Emirates Stadium and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Arsenal’s party in London. Wolverhampton new recruit Pedro Lima, Jorgen Strand Larsen, and Rodrigo Gomes should make their official debuts against Mikel Arteta’s troops. The bad news for the visitors is that winger Pedro Neto and centre-back Max Kilman are no longer part of the team.
Highlighted Player (Thomas Partey):
After starting his youth career at Odometah, Thomas Partey was spotted by Atletico Madrid scouts in 2011 and he soon joined the Estadio Vicente Calderon outfit. The defensive midfielder, who born in Odumase Krobo, Ghana on 13 June, 1993, played 33 league games for Atletico Madrid B, while making 14 league appearances for the first team.
After ending his loan spells with Mallorca and Almeria, Thomas Partey returned to Atletico Madrid in 2015 and he made his debut for Diego Simeone’s team in a 1-0 win over Espanyol. The Ghanaian footballer played in the 2015/2016 Champions League final against Real Madrid, coming as a substitute in the 116th minute of the game.
Thomas Partey made his Ghana debut in a 2-0 win over Mauritius in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match. His main position is defensive midfield, but the Atletico Madrid man is capable of playing as a central midfielder as well. Partey scored two goals for los Rojiblancos in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign.
