After our demolition of Lens on Wednesday, it remains to be seen if Mikel Arteta makes many changes from Arsenal’s starting line-up, although the second half we were only playing in first gear so shouldn’t be too fatigued for today.

So what are we expecting for today’s starting XI?

I think David Raya solidifies his goalkeeping position, with Aaron Ramsdale unlikely to displace him barring injury.

The defensive lineup should be; Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Saliba, and the returning White, who, despite recent absence due to injury, is expected to reclaim his starting role.

Tomiyasu’s exceptional form continues, showcasing versatility with two assists.

The midfield trio comprises Rice, Havertz, and Odegaard, highlighting Havertz’s recent goal-scoring prowess and Rice’s consistent stabilizing influence.

The attacking triumvirate should consist of Martinelli, Saka (recovering from a minor knock), and Jesus, with the latter displaying form since returning from injury.

Martinelli’s presence on the left adds to the team’s formidable attacking prowess, creating a challenging dynamic for opponents.

So this is the team that Daisy suggested earlier….

Raya

White – Saliba – Gabriel – Tomiyasu

Odegaard – Rice – Havertz

Saka – Jesus – Martinelli

So we can now compare that with the official teamsheet as chosen by Arteta…..

Is that good enough to give us a convincing win over Wolves?

  1. Looks like the standard lineup. Hope Trossard will justify his selection ahead of Jorghinho and Havertz, also Tomiyashu for white. Other lineup seems undisputed.

  2. We absolutely have to get maximum pts from the 2 “easy” matches vs wolves and luton because after will come the acid test if we can challenge for the league like last season.

    Aston villa away
    Brighton home
    Liverpool away
    West ham home

    Play anywhere less than our best form and we could easily finish these winless.

    1. Absolutely 😁 his movement in the box and the way he brings the rest of his teammates involved is a lovely and great to watch.

  3. Jesus made that goal but he won’t get the assist. That’s how he influences the game but stats will show 1 goal/assist this season.

  4. As good at dribbling Martinell is, l tend to get frustrated with his final ball in the box.
    Our left hand side at the moment is just not doing it.

  5. Loved the way Gabriel told off Zincheko. I mean after his mistake of losing the ball, again he follows it up with a loose throw in 😬

  6. Beautiful team goals! Odegaard was everywhere and Jesus’ hold-up play was top-notch today

    We just need to bore Wolves to death in the second half and lure them into our area

  7. Complacency is the only one thing that can stop this team from marching on.
    Zinchenko again with his mistakes 😤.

  8. When it looks so comfortable Arsenal always find a way to let the opposition back into the game.
    Arsenal should have been four or five goals up when Wolves got their goal.
    Too often for comfort it is Zinchenko making that one crucial mistake.
    He has many great attributes, but you know there is a blunder in there somewhere.
    It is all self-inflicted pressure every time…
    For me I don’t think this result was well played by Arsenal but a win is a win..

  9. Honestly Zinchenko should just eff off. If he cant stay focused for 90 mins then his “cute” passes have zero benefit to the team. How many times have we seen this? Trust me this is not the last time you’re seeing this, he ether gets subbed at HT are SELL him, we cant have jokers who cant concentrate for a measly 90 minutes while the rest of us normal human beings do harder more brain draining jobs that need your focus throughout the day. I’ve had ENOUGH of him TBH.

    1. It’s so annoying when he tries to be too cute with the ball and ends up making the team to concede a goal.
      The manager needs to address this or against a better team it’s going to cost us points.

  10. Arsenal’s 4 shots on goal as against the 14 off target shots they took all at 80 minutes into the match doesn’t bode well for the Gunners in the game.
    The more chances the Gunners create in the game and scores. The more goals in number they willian score. Arteta SHOULD work on this.

  11. Trossard really needs to seize his chances when he gets to start a game.l don’t understand why he was not his usual clinical self and I don’t doubt he could have buried the chances he got on another day.
    As for Nketia the less said the better. Any way 3 points for us but I don’t understand why they always create unnecessary pressure for themselves.
