Two cracking Premier League fixtures are on schedule for Sunday, March 18, with Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester United and Newcastle United v Norwich City set to take center stage.
Now then, let’s get right to the betting odds, match previews and predictions for Sunday’s English Premier League fixtures.
Betting Odds
Wolverhampton Wanderers (9/1) v Manchester United (4/11); Draw (17/4)
Newcastle United (13/15) v Norwich City (15/4); Draw (11/4)
Bookmakers are offering 9/1 odds on Wolves, the home side, against Manchester United on Sunday. Although it may be tempting to take the odds and bet on the home side, you’d be better off taking United at 4/11 or betting on a Newcastle United-Norwich City draw which pays 11/4.
Preview: Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester United
Sir Alex Ferguson and table toppers Manchester United will look to put their disappointing UEFA Europa League campaign behind them when they travel to Molineax Stadium to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.
Wolves enter Sunday win-less in their last four Premier League matches, having conceded a whopping 14 goals in those four games.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have won four straight league games since coming back from three goals down to draw 3-3 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on February 5.
With both teams seemingly headed in opposite directions, Sunday’s clash is no more important for United’s title hopes than it is for Wolves’ desire of staying in England’s top-tier, setting up an appetizing fixture for the neutrals.
Players to Watch
Wolves talisman Steven Fletcher, who scored against the Red Devils in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford, is the danger man for the home side, while Wayne Rooney is surely the player to watch for the visitors.
Prediction
United roll, 4-1 Red Devils.
Preview: Newcastle United v Norwich City
Premier League newcomers Norwich City travel to Sports Direct Arena to battle Newcastle United on Sunday.
Having tallied 36 points from 28 matches, Norwich are 12th place in the league table at the moment.
On the other side of the touchline, the Magpies are in 6th place and within five points of qualifying for the Europa League next season.
Norwich are coming off a disappointing 1-1 home draw to bottom of the table Wigan Athletic, while Newcastle win look to put Thomas Vermaelen’s dramatic injury-time winner behind them.
Players to Watch
Senegalese hit-man Demba Ba, who has netted 16 league goals this season, is surely the man to watch for the Magpies, while Grant Holt is the danger man for the visitors.
Prediction
Advantage Newcastle, 2-1 Toon.
