Wolves v Arsenal – Molineux 21:00 CET

Team News:

Wolves have only two men out, they will miss striker Hee-Chan and defender Toti Gomes.

Merino and Havertz are on the injured list. Arsenal have doubts over a few players with White, Calafiori and Odegaard with slight issues. Youngster Max Dowman is available after injury.


Formations:

Wolves have rotated the formations heavily and without much success with any of them. 4-2-3-1 looks likely and one they used against Chelsea recently

4-3-3 most used for Arsenal and with the pressure increasing they cannot slip up. Arteta is getting some flak for their performances, but results are still coming.

Statistics:

Referee: Paul Tierney (Average cards 3.26 Yellow 0.11 Red)


Match Preview:

The FA Cup gives Wolves fans and players some hope for the season. Two wins from in that competition are the only wins for Wolves since 3rd January. They have just 9 points all season and are 18 points away from safety.

Arsenal are 48 points above the home side showing the gulf in class this season. A win here would give them some breathing space going into the weekend derby clash with Spurs.

Betting Preview:

Odds are very short on Arsenal as you would expect given the massive points differences between the two sides. Four of the last five games have ended with Arsenal winning and a clean sheet. That’s the bet here at good odds.
