Arsenal look to keep their hold of the Premier League’s top spot as they host Wolves in English top flight action on Saturday.

The Gunners blasted Lens midweek in Champions League play to secure a spot in the knockout stage, and will be riding high from that brilliant 6-0 victory.

Yet Arsenal can’t switch off even for a moment, as they hold just a one-point lead over defending champions Man City in the standings, and they face a Wolves team that has beaten both Man City and Tottenham in recent weeks.

The Sporting News is following the Arsenal vs Wolves match live, providing score updates, commentary and highlights as they happen.

1 hour 45 mins to kick: For all of Arsenal’s dazzling build-up this year, they are also the most dangerous team from corners in the Premier League. They have collected the most corners in the league by a massive margin, with their 114 corners thus far towering over both Man City and Man United who are in second on 89.

The Gunners have converted those into seven goals, generating an incredible 47 shots worth 4.66 xG from corners, or around 0.10 xG per shot, which is quite a high rate for a set piece!

Arsenal have scored seven goals from corners this season – more than any other team in the Premier League.#ARSWOL

2 hours to kickoff: Arsenal midfielder Kai Havertz is a changed man. After struggling for much of his time at Chelsea, his poor early form with Arsenal was alarming. Now, after scoring in successive matches, he’s suddenly overflowing with enthusiasm.

Mikel Arteta says the way Chelsea treated the German was a reason for his lack of confidence. “When you’re loved and admired and respected your energy and body language is so much better. That is how he is feeling now.”

We will see if it translates to something more than just a flash in the pan!

“Give me Havertz!” 😲

”I don’t know what I’m getting from Rashford!?” 🤷‍♂️

”Rashford’s only got 2 goals!” 😤

Arsenal vs Wolves lineups, team news

Arteta has confirmed Portugal U21 international Fabio Silva will be out for a few weeks after undergoing groin surgery with Emile Smith-Rowe and Thomas Partey still absent. It’s unclear whether Ben White or Takehiro Tomiyasu will start at right-back, with both seeing 45 minutes against Lens. Fabio Vieira is in the midst of his red card suspension after his sending-off against Burnley in mid-November.

The in-form Kai Havertz is set to keep his place after scoring in successive games for the first time in his Arsenal career. On-loan goalkeeper David Raya should come back into net after his absence against parent club Brentford last time out was forced.

Arsenal projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Raya (GK) — White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko — Odegaard, Rice, Havertz — Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.

Wolves were frustrated by VAR in their 3-2 Premier League defeat at Fulham last time out, and they saw midfielders Joao Gomes and Mario Lemina pick up suspensions for yellow card accumulation in the process. Tommy Doyle and Boubacar Traore are set to provide cover in the Wolves engine room.

Experienced centre back Craig Dawson is ready to start after a suspension, while Rayan Ait Nouri has been ruled out for at least a month due to injury.

Wolves projected starting lineup (3-5-2): Sa (GK) — Kilman, Dawson, T. Gomes — Semedo, Bellegarde, Doylee, Traore, Bueno — Cunha, Hwang.

Arsenal vs Wolves betting odds, lines

Arsenal should manage to secure all three points in this match, but it won’t come easy. Wolves have put up a fight against every top side they’ve played this season, especially over the last few weeks, and Gary O’Neil will have them up for the challenge again here.

Expect a tough fight for the Gunners after their midweek romp, but they should manage to emerge victorious to remain atop the Premier League standings.
