Wolves vs Newcastle Preview Newcastle to win Isak to score Wolves Struggling to Find Form It’s been a tough start to the 2024/25 Premier League season for Wolves, who head into this clash as one of six teams yet to secure a win. A 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest in their previous match offered some encouragement, but it’s far from the ideal start Gary O’Neil would have wanted.

City are looking to take another step towards matching last season’s six-game winning streak to start the campaign when they host Brentford at the Etihad Stadium. With 12 consecutive Premier League wins under their belt, all by at least a two-goal margin, City’s dominance seems almost routine.

Crystal Palace vs Leicester Preview Draw or Palace win Eze to score Crystal Palace’s Underwhelming Start After finishing last season in stellar form, Crystal Palace’s start to the 2024/25 Premier League campaign has been less impressive. With just one point from their first three matches (D1, L2), they are still looking for their first win of the season. Their most recent result, a 1-1 draw against Chelsea before the international break, helped them get off the mark, but manager Roy Hodgson will be eager to see his side pick up three points when they host Leicester City at Selhurst Park. Palace…
