ℹ️ Team News: Wolves

There’s just the lone fitness concern for the Wolves boss Gary O'Neil to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group. Pedro Neto (Hamstring injury) misses out.

We think that Wolves look set to kick off with a 3-4-2-1 system in the match featuring Jose Sa, Santiago Bueno, Max Kilman, Toti Gomes, Matt Doherty, Hugo Bueno, Boubacar Traore, Joao Gomes, Tawanda Chirewa, Thomas Doyle and Hee-Chan Hwang.

📋 Team News: Arsenal

Due to a mostly available squad, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Arsenal gaffer Mikel Arteta to contend with. Jurrien Timber (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that The Gunners might elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for David Raya, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Jakub Kiwior, Martin Oedegaard, Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard.

💡 Prediction

Our assessment is that Wolverhampton Wanderers will likely be able to score against this Arsenal lineup, although one goal is unlikely to be enough.

Our selection here is for a 1-2 winning score for Arsenal at the end of this one. Could easily go either way, this.
