ARSENAL VS WOLVES A very good evening to you all and welcome to the last of the week's midweek match-ups as Arsenal take on Wolves at the Emirates Stadium. Wolves are actually just two points behind the Gunners having played a game more, and could leapfrog their opponents - as well as West Ham - into a remarkable fifth place today. Arsenal, however, are chasing Champions League football and three points would send them withing a point of fourth-placed Manchester United with two games in hand. So, basically, a win would do nicely for both. Stick with us for all the build-up, hype and highlights ahead of kick-off at 7.45.

GOAL DISALLOWED!
Saiss has the ball in the back of the net from Ait Nouri's cross but he's an inch offside...
VAR have a look...and it's the right decision.

FRANTIC START
A rapid start here at the Emirates has the fans in full voices and it's Arsenal doing all the early pressing.
That said, Wolves have gone right up the other end and got themselves a corner.

EARLY CHAOS
From the off Arsenal have an opener!
Saka dances into the area before laying of Martinelli, but the youngster is barged to the ground as he shapes up to shoot.
Big shouts for a penalty but nothing give. Too early for that?

BRUNO LAGE - MIRACLE WORKER
Shout out to this man Bruno Lage who has turned Wolves from serious relegation candidates into European football contenders.
He's made them near impossible to beat in recent months and managed 12 wins along the way, just two fewer than 'title contenders' Chelsea.
Wolves actually have four wins from their last five, the second best form record in the league over a five-game period.

CLEAN SHEETS
So. is this a guaranteed 0-0? Wolves have only conceded 18 goals this season, the second best record in the league behind only Manchester City.
Arsenal have conceded 26, the fifth best record in the league.
Just give them both a point now and call it a day?

SMITH-ROWE SICK
Wondering why chronic xg-overperformer but regular goalsman Emile Smith-Rowe is not in the squad?
He's sick apparently. Not Covid though!
