Arsenal look to go top with victory over Wolves

Today we look to get our season on track with a visit to Wolves.

It shows how tight it is in the Premier League that less than 7 days ago, some pundits were wheeling out their lazy “Arsenal have bottled it again” narrative, and yet by 9:37 tonight we could be top.

With FA Cup football today Manchester City’s next game is not until next Thursday. In that time we play twice and could find ourselves 4 points ahead of them. Although they will have two games in hand.

As always, we just need to concentrate on ourselves.

It has been a tough week. The poor performances against Aston Villa was doubled up on with the defeat out in Bayern Munich.

I still do not think that Munich loss was as poor as some are making out. They beat us by a single goal and it was a tie that could have gone either way.

Today we just need to get back to winning ways – whether that is a scrappy 1-nil victory or scoring 6. Getting the 3 points is all that really matters.

It does not sound like we have any new injury issues following the Munich game. It will just be whether Mikel Arteta decides to (or can afford to) mix things up to freshen it up.

I think it is obvious that Arteta does not trust the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson or Eddie Nketiah. So despite the front line at Munich looking exhausted, we will be relying on them again.

Kai Havertz will probably start down the middle and Leandro Trossard on one of the wings. That leaves either Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli or Gabriel Jesus to also start.

Martin Odegaard also looks like he needs a rest. There is an outside chance we might see Fabio Vieira come in for him. The rest of the midfield I think will be Declan Rice and Olexsandr Zinchenko, with Takehiro Tomiyasu slotting into left back.

Our season is certainly yet over. It is important that we bring the noise, back the team, and go again.

    the whole problem is that behind the first 13/14 the squad is too weak. Without Ode there is zero creativity. So Vieira is no real option. Ode is on his last legs. Bayern loss be by single goal but over the 180 they deserved to win.

    This last month we have ran out steam as games have gone on. We will need to pack mf.

    Marti is bereft and Jesus pointless. So sacrifice at least one. Havertz must play the lone forward
