Arsenal vs Wolves LIVE: Premier League latest score and confirmed lineups | Football
Arsenal welcome Wolves to the Emirates tonight looking to inflict more misery on the Premier League’s bottom side.
The Gunners suffered their first defeat since the end of August last weekend after that stunning finale against Aston Villa.
It has made things very interesting at the top once again with Manchester City just two points adrift ahead of their game against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
As it stands, City and Arsenal have the same goal difference but Mikel Arteta’s side have the chance to significantly add to their tally against a Wolves side in freefall.
With just two points on the board from 15 games, relegation is already looming large with fans. Their hapless defence shipped four against Manchester United on Monday – it could get even messier tonight.

Head-to-head record
The Gunners have won eight in a row against Wolves heading into tonight’s fixture, and given the respective form of both sides, you’d be brave to bet against that run coming to an end.
Alan Shearer’s prediction
Speaking in his weekly Metro column, here’s what the former Newcastle and England striker said ahead of tonight’s game:
‘There hasn’t been an uplift at all from Wolves. They have just two points in the league. They don’t score any goals and basically, I give them no chance and no hope this weekend and for their survival chances.
‘Wolves aren’t far off being the worst Premier League team in history. I don’t see any positive from them this season and I can’t see any improvement happening. They tried changing management and there’s been no improvement.
‘Arsenal need a nice, positive win and to get a bit of belief and confidence back – and as I said, if you need one game at home after a defeat, you’d want Wolves.‘
Prediction? Arsenal win

Saliba returns
Well, Arteta was coy in his pre-match press conference regarding Saliba’s fitness, but the Frenchman is back in a big boost for the Gunners.
He is alongside Hincapie in central defence with White and Timer as the full-backs. Still no place for Lewis-Skelly, who is amongst the subs despite Calafiori’s suspension.

Wolves XI: Johnstone, Doherty, Mosquera, Agbadou, Toti, Wolfe, Andre, Krejci, J Gomes, Hwang, Strand Larsen
Subs: Sa, Hoever, Tchatchoua, S Bueno, Chirewa, Mane, Arias, Lopez, Arokodare
