Pre-match views from the forum:
sakalacaxhaka: “Go full strength in this again, ideally get the game won early to rest for Luton away.
Wolves are without Lemina, Gomes and most likely Neto as he’s injured.
They’ve performed much better this season than their league position shows, beating both Sp**s and City, and should have got something from Utd too so shouldn’t be taken too lightly.
It will be tough to break them down so would hope Arteta would replicate the same team as against Lens with only one holding midfielder, Gabriel and Saliba just need to be switched on for the quick counter.
I’m going 3-1 Arsenal, as we seem to struggle to keep clean sheets at home more than away.
SA Gunner: “This will be a tough game.
O’Neil will have his team keeping us out of their box for long spells, and also severely limit our ability to combine in those areas.
I want to see us start quickly, as we did against Brentford. More vertical play, looking for a quick opening before Wolves can settle in. Getting back to that early goal will be important for us.
Assuming our usual league performances, I’d say a laboured 2-0 to Arsenal.”
