Guess who's back, back again? A new Premier League season is upon us!
Arsenal kick off their 24/25 PL campaign on Saturday when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers. With the preseason ending with a victory over Lyon, Arsenal appear to be in fine form. They also have a mostly-available squad with Takehiro Tomiyasu as the only player definitely ruled out. Others, such as Fabio Vieira and Jurrien Timber will face late fitness tests. Some players, like Eddie Nketiah, maybe be held out because of pending moves from the club. Overall, it’s been a pretty quiet summer for Arsenal, with Riccardo Calafiore being the only new signing. While there is still work to be done in the market, on the pitch, Arsenal cannot begin the season with complacency.
Having lost the title by two points last year, the Gunners will be hoping to overtake Manchester City and win their first PL title since 2004. PL title or not, Mikel Arteta will be desperate to get his hands on more silverware, with his only trophy coming in his first season.
Last season’s fixture ended 2-1 to Arsenal with Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard on the scoresheet. Wolves will enter this match hoping to build on a relatively strong season. Returning manager Gary O’Neil will has lost crucial pieces Pedro Neto and defender Max Kilman. Their largest signing of the summer, Rodrigo Gomes, joined from Braga for 15 million euros and will seemingly be a right-sided replacement for departed dangerman Neto.
Will Arsenal put the Wolves down? Or will they slip out of the gate? Join us at Dillon's as we usher in the new season with pints, laughs, and nerves!
38 to go. Win them all.
