Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

It was a familiar story for Wolves and Gary O'Neil on Monday, as they were beaten by a stoppage-time penalty on a second successive Premier League road trip, going down 3-2 to Fulham. Marco Silva's team were awarded two questionable penalties and were perhaps fortunate to keep 11 men on the pitch in that game, leading O'Neil to say he had "finally turned against" the use of VAR in his post-match interview. He'll be hoping there is no controversy awaiting Wolves here, but they face a daunting task, taking on the leaders without suspended midfield duo Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes.

With Manchester City not in action until Sunday, Arsenal have a chance to end Saturday four points clear at the summit as they bid to improve on last season's second-place finish! That will give huge motivation to Mikel Arteta's team, who had to dig deep last week for a 1-0 win at Brentford. They then warmed up for this contest in brilliant fashion in midweek, hammering Lens 6-0 in the UEFA Champions League after racing into a five-goal lead by half-time – a similar performance here would certainly be welcomed by the Gunners' fans!
