We’ve got a Wednesday clash in the Premier League as bottom club Wolves host leaders Arsenal, who’ll be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table.

My Wolves vs. Arsenal predictions focus on one player, as I expect talented English youngster Mateus Mane to have a shot on target.

Read on for my Premier League picks for Wednesday, February 18, with kickoff at 3:00 p.m. ET on Peacock Premium.

Premier League predictions for Wolves vs Arsenal

My Wolves vs Arsenal best bet: Mateus Mane 1+ shot on target (-111 at Sports Interaction)

The breakthrough of Mateus Mane has been one of the feel-good stories in a bad season for Wolves.

The 18-year-old has had a shot on target in eight of 15 Premier League games he’s played in. What makes that even more impressive is he’s only started nine of those outings.

The England U18 international ranks second for Wolves in shots per 90 minutes with 2.71 shots, but he’s averaged a high 1.2 shots on target per 90 — all from an advanced attacking midfield position.

Mateus Mane 1+ shot on target

Gabriel Jesus 1+ shot on target

Arsenal to win

Gabriel Jesus has averaged 2.88 shots on target per 90 minutes in the league and has scored in two of his past three games.

Arsenal lead the Premier League with just three defeats to their name all season. The Gunners are averaging just under two goals scored per game and have the best defensive record in the league.

All of that while Wolves, despite an improvement in form, have still only managed one win in 26 games.
