Wolves v Arsenal
📅
Kick Off: Saturday 25th January at 15:00
🏆
Competition: Premier League
Second-placed Arsenal face a trip to Molineux to face a Wolves side still sitting perilously close to the drop zone despite their improved recent performances under new boss Vitor Pereira.
With the gap at the top still 6 points, and with Liverpool having a game-in-hand over Arsenal, the Gunners need to be taking all three points here if they are to have any hope of winning the title.
⭐ Wolves v Arsenal Best Bet
This is exceptional value on two players who should both be hitting the target as an absolute bare minimum.
Kai Havertz could definitely score more goals but he is a shot on target machine, landing at least one in 12 of his last 13 competitive starts. Whilst Arsenal continue to look for a new striker then he is the main man for them in attacking areas and should get plenty of opportunities.
Gabriel Martinelli could play on either wing and cut inside to shoot. He has had at least one shot on target in 6 of his last 10 appearances including two against Aston Villa last weekend.
🟢 Wolves v Arsenal #WhatOddsPaddy Tip
Arsenal are the clear favourites to win and face a team who have conceded the most goals in the Premier League (51). Wolves have suffered in recent matches, conceding a goal in both halves to Chelsea, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
This is an even tougher match for them with Arsenal scoring in each half in both of their last two games. The Gunners’ offense can be inconsistent but has arguably been more potent away from home, scoring in both halves against Palace and Brentford in 2 of their last 3 games on the road.
Arsenal average 6.30 corners per game which is the fourth most in the Premier League. They target set pieces and could dominate this match territorially throughout. It is within their wheelhouse to rack up double-digit corner numbers, which would make 4 in each half entirely possible.
👕 Wolves v Arsenal Predicted XI
🔍 Wolves v Arsenal Players to Watch
🟠 Jorgen Strand Larsen
The Norwegian striker might not have developed into the goalscoring force which Wolves fans hoped for this season but he has become very consistent with shots on target recently. Larsen has struck at least one shot on target in all of his last 5 Premier League games and if we go back further then in 9 out of 11 fixtures.
His positioning is excellent and there is an argument he should finish his chances much better. But you can’t deny he is giving himself the opportunities. This looks like a big price despite the opposition. He managed at least one SOT vs the likes of Chelsea, Spurs, Forest & Bournemouth.
🔴 Leandro Trossard
One player who has been in great form recently is Belgian international Leandro Trossard. He has scored one goal and supplied 3 assists in his last three games and should start on the left wing here cutting inside. He is a streaky player who can get hot and this feels like a very good time to ride the wave with him.
Bukayo Saka’s injury means his minutes on the field potential goes up and he looks much more settled for this, knowing his spot in the team is generally safe for important games. He was arguably Arsenal’s best player on the pitch last week and can be expected to kick on again. He’s a dual threat to score or assist so this is the best market to back him in.
🔴 Gabriel Magalhaes
Wolves have conceded 19 goals from set pieces this season and now face an Arsenal side who are known for their prowess from such occasions. Gabriel Magalhaes is the most likely player to profit from such a weakness that Wolves have and he looks a big price to score anytime.
However, let’s just take him to have a single shot on target or more. This is something he’s managed on 8 occasions this season from 34 attempts. His chances are increased due to the opposition and he scored against Man United in the FA Cup recently, another side who are terrible at defending set pieces.

💻 Wolves v Arsenal Form and Tactics
Wolves had a resurgence under new manager Vitor Pereira but have since crashed down to earth with 3 consecutive defeats. Pereira has been using a variation of 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 since he joined the club. Their possession stats and style have varied depending on opponents.
Arsenal have been in mixed form recently. They lost in both the EFL and FA Cup at home to Newcastle and Man United and were also held in the league by Brighton and Aston Villa. This will be their first away game in 6 matches and they head into the game following a comfortable 3-0 win vs Dinamo Zagreb in midweek. Nothing will change too much tactically with Mikel Arteta rolling out his family 4-3-3 formation which is predominantly possession-based.
