PL: Arsenal v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Start again.

Arsenal return to Premier League action with a visit from Wolverhampton Wanderers. It’s a match between top and bottom of the league. Coming off their first PL loss since August, The Gunners need to begin another streak. Manchester City have closed the gap at the top to just two points. While much of the season remains, the distance between the two teams has shrunk. Wolves, winless this season, could be the perfect tonic to last weekend’s stoppage time disappointment.

What to say about Wolves? It hasn’t been good. New manager Rob Edwards has been in charge for a few weeks now without much change. Many in the media have already labelled them as relegated. Most recently, they lost to Manchester United, even after scoring their first league goal in a month. For Wolves, Jorgen Strand Larson will provide a challenge to Arsenal’s makeshift defense. And at the back, former Liverpool man, Ki-Jana Hoever has been in fine form at right back.

For Arsenal, this is about one thing: Winning. This is the kind of game you absolutely must win at home. Their midweek trip to Belgium was successful and should provide a needed lift to Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli. The lineup will be tough to predict. The status of William Saliba remains unknown, and Leandro Trossard may miss out again. Gabriel Jesus could feature after his return in Brugges. Riccardo Calafiori will be suspended. Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice will be expected to lead the charge to victory.

Will Arsenal stroll to three points? Or will Wolves do something incredibly unexpected? Join us at Dillon’s for a late afternoon kick-off on Saturday. Let’s help get the lads back on track.
