Arsenal will be aiming to move back into the top four when they travel to Molineux to take on Wolves in Wednesday’s Premier League clash.
The Gunners’ hopes of Champions League qualification have been dented by two defeats in their last three matches, leaving them a point adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea – albeit with a game in hand.
Latest odds
Nevertheless, they are available at 6/4 (2.50) with SportPesa to get back on track with a fifth win in five successive Premier League visits to this ground.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have taken just five points from the last available 15, but can be backed at 19/10 (2.90) to return to form with a big win here.
The sides shared a 1-1 draw when they met at the Emirates Stadium in November’s reverse fixture, and you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40) on them cancelling each other out once again in this one.
Team news
With no injuries to contend with, the hosts may still seek to rotate the squad following their disappointing recent results as they look to finish in seventh.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos is available again following suspension, although Rob Holding, Danny Welbeck, Hector Bellerin and Aaron Ramsey are all injured and Denis Suarez and Granit Xhaka doubtful.
Resilient Wolves
This stadium has not proved a happy hunting ground for the division’s top sides this season, with Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United leaving here with nothing in either the league or cup – the latter doing so twice.
Indeed, only five teams have conceded fewer goals in front of their own fans this season than Wolves, who have let in just 20 in 17 fixtures.
This looks ominous for Unai Emery’s team, which has won just three of the last 12 league away games and scored only seven times in nine matches on the road in all competitions.
Predictions
With a frustrating evening looking likely, odds of 20/21 (1.95) are well worth backing on Arsenal seeing no more than two goals scored for their sixth game in seven against this opposition.
