Arsenal host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday night, looking to get their title charge back on track.
The Gunners suffered a damaging defeat to Aston Villa last weekend. However, they responded perfectly in Europe during the midweek. Now, Mikel Arteta will demand a similar reaction domestically against the league’s bottom club.
This fixture historically favours the league leaders. Arsenal have won their last eight league meetings with Wolves. Furthermore, they have scored in 35 consecutive matches against them. Despite a defensive injury crisis, the hosts will be confident of securing three points. A win is essential to maintain their lead at the top of the table.
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta faces a severe selection headache in defence. Riccardo Calafiori is suspended, while Gabriel Magalhães and Cristhian Mosquera are injured. Moreover, William Saliba and Jurrien Timber are major doubts. If they fail fitness tests, Christian Nørgaard could be forced to play as a makeshift centre-back.
Alternatively, he may anchor the midfield if Declan Rice does not recover from illness. Gabriel Jesus is available again, but Viktor Gyökeres is expected to lead the line. Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka will provide the width in attack.
Arsenal predicted Lineup
Arsenal predicted XI: Raya; White, Timber, Hincapié, Lewis-Skelly; Ødegaard, Nørgaard, Rice; Saka, Gyökeres, Eze
