Arsenal need to collect themselves and get their season on track as they travel north to take on Wolves, so let’s look at the latest team news.
The north Londoners had a night to forget when they took on Bayern during the week. As a result of a 1-0 defeat, they crashed out of the Champions League. Now, they have a tough task to get the better of Gary O’Neill’s men.
Jurrien Timber is back in training but is unlikely to appear in this game. Mikel Arteta will make some changes to keep the players fresh and fit. This might see the likes of Takehiro Tomiyasu, Jorginho and Bukayo Saka on the bench for this weekend.
In the remaining six games of the season, Arteta would like to see which of his other players are willing to stand up and be counted. It is an opportunity to see the quality of the squad and which of the players can be relied upon.
Arsenal Fever View:
In Munich, the Gunners looked lethargic after a point, and they never looked likely to threaten the German giants. The lack of a clinical edge in front of the goal has come back to haunt the club.
Now coming back to the Premier League, the visitors need to take their chances otherwise, it will be another disappointing game. The loss to Aston Villa last week has made a significant dent in the club’s league charge and that has to change starting on Saturday.
There is quality in this team but that is not always reflected on the pitch many times. Beating Wolves is not easy and many of the best teams have struggled to achieve that. Their ability to play on the counter is a threat for any defence.
Arsenal still have a say in the Premier League title race but they need to avoid any further slipups. And for that to happen, they need to win all their remaining games. Starting at Molineux, they need to aim for maximum points and while that’s not easy, it is the standard required.
