Wolves Vs Arsenal Match Preview (1 Viewer)

[MartinGee]

With just the Premier League title up for grabs, Arsenal heads to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday evening. After a tough exit from the Champions League, Mikel Arteta's team is back in domestic action.

Wolverhampton, comfortably mid-table, welcomes back Matheus Cunha to their lineup, much to the joy of their fans. Cunha's recent performances have been impressive, although they've struggled to secure wins lately.

Wolves sit 11th in the standings and are aiming for a top-half finish, but their recent form hasn't been great. They've also struggled to keep clean sheets, putting them at risk of losing three consecutive home matches for the first time in a while. However, they've had success against top teams at home in the past.

Meanwhile, Arsenal is determined to bounce back after recent setbacks in both the Champions League and the Premier League. They're aiming for a win at Molineux, buoyed by their impressive defensive record away from home.

With history potentially in the making, Arsenal hopes to extend their winning streak against Wolves and keep their clean sheet record intact.

INJURIES & SUSPENSION​

Cunha's return to form was cut short yet again by a fresh injury, this time a calf problem that will sideline him for the upcoming match. Joining him on the injury list are Semedo, Dawson, Bellegarde, Chiwome, and Neto, leaving Wolves with several key players out of action.

Adding to their woes, Hwang Hee-chan is only fit for a half of play, and Ait-Nouri might make the bench if he's cleared to play.

Arsenal, on the other hand, has fewer injury concerns, with Jurrien Timber still working his way back from a long-term ACL injury. Manager Arteta has a full squad to choose from, though Saka and Martinelli may face scrutiny after lackluster performances. Potential replacements from the bench include Jesus, Trossard, Partey, and Kiwior, with Arteta considering the quick turnaround from their recent match in Munich.

POSSIBLE LINE-UPS​

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

Wolves 2-1 Arsenal

As Wolves face new fitness issues in their forward line, breaking through Arsenal's strong defense will be a tough task, despite the Gunners' momentary lapse against Bayern.

Arsenal's recent struggles in scoring suggest a high-scoring game is unlikely, but with some fresh attacking options, they may manage to breach Wolves' vulnerable defense and secure a crucial goal to regain their top position in the league.
