Arsenal play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday as the Premier League gets back into full swing this weekend following the November international break.
The Gunners are in desperate need of three points as they are sit in the league table’s 14th position. Wolves are just one point better, but four places higher in the Premier League in 10th. Both clubs have a lot to gain, and much to lose with a defeat on Sunday at the Emirates.
Plus, check out the two statistics in the “Notes and Quotes Worth Repeating” column on the left sidebar of this website. You’ll get some eye-opening perspective on the state of Arsenal’s current offensive woes.
Arsenal beat Wolves 2-0 in their last meeting, however, it’s a new season and Wolves appear to be a stronger squad than in 2019-2020.
With that said, here’s my predicted line-up v Wolves…
Partey and Saka are listed as doubtful.
[3-4-3]
Aubameyang, Nkeitah, Nelson
Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Ceballos, Bellerin
Tierney, Gabriel, Holding
Leno
Predicted final score…
ARSENAL 1 – Wolves 1
