Wolves - WLLDLD
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Wolves manager Gary O'Neil to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Pedro Neto (Hamstring injury) is sidelined.
In all likelihood, Wolves could go for a 3-5-2 formation in the match, utilising Jose Sa, Santiago Bueno, Max Kilman, Toti Gomes, Matt Doherty, Thomas Doyle, Joao Gomes, Mario Lemina, Hugo Bueno, Pablo Sarabia and Nathan Fraser.
Wolves go into this match following on from a 2-2 Premier League drawn match versus Nottingham Forest.
In that match, Wolverhampton Wanderers had 54% possession and 11 shots at goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Wolverhampton Wanderers was Matheus Cunha (40', 62'). On the other side, Nottingham Forest had 18 shots on goal with 9 on target. Morgan Gibbs-White (45') and Danilo (57') scored for Nottingham Forest.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have been conceding pretty frequently lately, but they’ve also found ways to score goals themselves. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Wolverhampton Wanderers have conceded in 6 of them while also managing to get on the scoresheet in 5 of those matches.
Going into this contest, Wolverhampton Wanderers have not beaten Arsenal in their previous 5 league games.
Arsenal - DWWDLL
Out of a mainly healthy squad, there is just the one fitness issue for the Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta to contend with. Jurrien Timber (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.
It’s our belief that The Gunners seem most likely to make use of a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for David Raya, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Martin Oedegaard, Jorginho, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.
Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Bayern Munich in Champions League action, Arsenal and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that game, Arsenal had 49% possession and 9 shots on goal with 3 on target. Bayern Munich had 15 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Joshua Kimmich (63') scored for Bayern Munich.
The trend of at least one team not managing to score in games featuring Arsenal has been evident recently. Checking on their last 6 outings reveals that it has occurred 5 times. In these clashes, their opponents have hit a goal tally of 5 while Arsenal have scored 7. We will find out whether or not that trend can be sustained in this game.
Their previous form shows that Arsenal:
*haven't been defeated by Wolverhampton Wanderers when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.
*are undefeated in their last 6 away league matches.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; S. Bueno, Toti, Kilman; Doherty, Lemina, Gomes, Doyle, H. Bueno; Sarabia, Fraser
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Jesus, Trossard
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*Arsenal have a good historical record against Wolverhampton Wanderers and have won 63 out of the 123 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Wolverhampton Wanderers' 32 victories.
*After completing a Premier League double over Arsenal in the 2020-21 season, Wolverhampton Wanderers have each of their last five matches against the Gunners in the competition.
*Arsenal have found the back of the net in each of their last 32 matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers in all competitions - their joint-highest streak of this nature against a single opponent in the club's history.
*Wolverhampton Wanderers are winless in their last four matches in the Premier League but have won each of their last two home games against teams starting the day in the top two of the league table.
*Arsenal have kept clean sheets in each of their last five away games in the Premier League.
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Arsenal
With fresh fitness concerns rearing their ugly heads in attack, O'Neil's men will have their work cut out to breach the Premier League's defensive masters on the road, who kept Bayern at bay for the most part only to switch off for one second. The Gunners' recent shortcomings in the final third means that a goal-laden success is surely off the cards, but a refreshed set of attacking options can penetrate a leaky Wolves rearguard at least once to reclaim their spot at the summit.
