Wolves v Liverpool (Molineux, Tuesday 3/3/2026)
Liverpool seem to have finally ironed out the inconsistencies that threatened to derail their season. Four consecutive victories since the narrow 2-1 defeat to Manchester City at the start of February have propelled the Reds into fifth place, with the Champions League spots now firmly within reach. Momentum is a powerful force at this stage of the campaign, and belief appears to be coursing through the squad once more. The question now is whether they can carry that surge into what promises to be a demanding trip to Molineux.
It certainly won’t be straightforward. Wolves are enjoying a revival of their own, putting together a sequence of results that has restored pride if not fully secured safety. A statement win over fourth-placed Aston Villa, followed by a hard-earned draw against league leaders Arsenal, underlines the resilience and organisation that has crept back into their performances. While relegation remains a looming threat, they have at least shaken off the unwanted tag of being the division’s worst side.
This clash between two of the Premier League’s form teams should produce an open, entertaining encounter. Liverpool’s attacking depth has been particularly impressive. Injuries to the often-fragile Isak and Wirtz have barely disrupted their rhythm, thanks largely to the clinical finishing of Ekitike. Just as encouraging, however, is the variety of their goalscorers. Mac Allister has delivered crucial strikes from midfield, while even Van Dijk has chipped in at key moments. That collective responsibility in front of goal reflects a renewed confidence and unity.
With Chelsea and Aston Villa within touching distance, Liverpool have every incentive to seize three more points. Expect chances at both ends, but also expect the visitors’ quality and determination to edge them over the line and provide a strong foundation for our accumulator.

Brighton v Arsenal (AMEX, Wednesday 04/03/26)
As we approach the business end of the season, the Premier League has narrowed into a gripping two-horse race. Arsenal are chasing a first league title in 22 years, while being hunted down by the relentless, trophy-collecting machine that is Guardiola’s Manchester City. Every weekend now carries enormous weight, and each fixture feels like a potential turning point. The drama is undeniable, even if both sides have adopted pragmatic, results-first approaches in recent weeks.
Arsenal’s next assignment is a tricky trip to the South Coast to face Brighton. On their day, Brighton can trouble anyone with their fluid passing and attacking movement, but inconsistency has been the defining feature of their campaign. Concentration lapses and defensive errors have cost them valuable points, particularly against the league’s elite. Against a title-chasing Arsenal side, those moments of hesitation could prove fatal.
Mikel Arteta’s team have developed a steely edge that was perhaps missing in previous seasons. They are comfortable controlling possession but equally adept at grinding out narrow victories when required. One area where they may find particular joy is from set pieces. Arsenal have become one of the division’s most dangerous sides from dead-ball situations, and Brighton have shown vulnerability when defending corners and wide free-kicks. Delivery into the box will be key.
While this may not be a free-flowing classic, it has all the hallmarks of a tense, finely balanced contest. Brighton will create chances of their own, especially in transition, but Arsenal’s greater cutting edge should tell. The goalscoring threat of Gyokeres, combined with Gabriel’s aerial dominance at the other end, gives the visitors decisive weapons in both boxes.
Expect a tight encounter, perhaps decided by a single moment of quality. If Arsenal maintain their composure and discipline, they should emerge with three crucial points and keep their noses in front in what promises to be a captivating title race.

Man City v Nottm Forest (Etihad, 04/03/26)
The other side of the title race sees Manchester City welcoming Nottingham Forest to the Etihad, and on paper it looks like a daunting assignment for the visitors. Forest are now on their fourth manager of a turbulent season, a statistic that tells its own story. Recent performances have been deeply concerning, particularly heavy defeats to Brighton and Fenerbahce that exposed defensive frailties and a lack of cohesion. New boss Victor Pereira has yet to spark the revival supporters hoped for, and confidence appears fragile at best.
That hardly bodes well ahead of a trip to face a City side rediscovering their ruthless edge. Pep Guardiola’s men endured a rare mid-season wobble, but that dip now feels firmly behind them. As the pressure intensifies in the title race, City are shifting ominously through the gears. Cherki and Semenyo have added fresh attacking impetus, while Phil Foden continues to glide between the lines with intelligence and composure. Up front, Erling Haaland remains the division’s ultimate difference-maker, and the goals are once again being shared across the team.
Perhaps most encouraging for City is the return to form of Rodri. After injury concerns earlier in the campaign, he is beginning to dictate matches with his usual authority, shielding the back line and setting the tempo. Defensively, City have tightened up considerably, conceding fewer clear-cut chances and controlling games with their trademark possession dominance.
Forest, by contrast, look short on belief and structure. Despite being embroiled in a relegation battle, performances suggest a side struggling to find identity or resilience. Against City’s blend of physicality, pace and technical excellence, it is difficult to see them coping for ninety minutes.
With Arsenal setting the pace at the summit, City cannot afford any slip-ups. Expect a focused, professional display from the champions. They should have far too much quality for Forest and are strongly fancied to complete this accumulator, which—depending on the bookmaker—should land at around 3.2. LiveScoreBet
