🗞️ Team News: Arsenal

Martin Ødegaard (Ankle sprain), Takehiro Tomiyasu (Knee injury), Oleksandr Zinchenko (Calf injury), Kieran Tierney (Hamstring injury) and Mikel Merino (Shoulder injury) won’t be playing for Arsenal gaffer Mikel Arteta.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Arsenal can and should dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

However, Bolton Wanderers might well find it a difficult task to find the back of the net but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet.

Therefore, we are anticipating a controlled 3-1 winning score for Arsenal at full-time.
