Win PL: Arsenal 2 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers | Thursday 24th February | KO: 19:45 GMT | Amazon Prime

We're in a great position for top 4 and we're playing decently currently.
Our CF position is a big issue tbh. Laca has his strength but he's just not good enough to drive us to top 4. The most painful thing is if he gets injured, we're ****ed.

Wolves are a good side. We barely scraped by them a couple of weeks ago, but we're at home so I fancy us for this especially with us having a fully fit squad for this.

The starting XI for this game should be same as Brentford game. The only uncertainty is if Tomiyasu and Martinelli take their place in RB and RW respectively.

Match Prediction

Arsenal 1-0 Wolves

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Great another team will camp in thier area and try to hit us on counter I'm tired of these teams.

We already saw how good wolves are defensively so early goal would be welcome just to settle us.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Tomi and Martinelli the only changes from today game i would like keep ESR because he give us scoring chances but as AM he not good as ode so it's mikel decision

 

[Tir Na Nog]

We play this lot again? ****ing get in! Easy W. Sp**s fans tears gonna be so juicy when we show them how to beat this Championship side.

 

[Rattata]

Martinelli and Tomiyasu in for ESR and Cedric. You saw today against Brentford we need that direct player in our first eleven and ESR is more effective from the bench compared to Martinelli.

I still dont understand the Martinelli hype.

For me ESR and Ode have to start. ESR has the it and Ode is our best player for 60mins or until leading. Bring Gabi then..
And Tomi pls be fit. Cedric is worth a minus goal as we saw again today

 

[Riou]

Absolute must win.

Arteta must be tempted to put Gabby in for Laca soon, see how that looks.

 

[boonthegoon]

Need to score a few and celebrate every goal like winning champions league

Yes this has to happen soon. Can't keep dropping 1 off esr or Gabi.

Wouldn't mind it for this one, tbh.

All 4 of our young attackers are in pretty good form...and even if it doesn't work, we will have Laca and Pepe on the bench...plus maybe a rest will help Laca too, can come on when Wolves are tired and he is fresh, could nick a goal.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Obviously, this is going to be a tight game. Our finishing has to improve. I can see us come unstuck here.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Hopefully Gabby watches comps on how to be like Laca so Arteta will put him at CF.


He should start with this.

 

[Riou]

It's been over 20 years...but I still can't believe they tried pushing this guy, as the one who ran over Austin initially

Deserved at least one world title run imo.

[14Henry]

Tomi for Soares and the rest of the team the same. Let ESR keep his place and use Gabi of the bench to give us an option. There's going to be no space to run into behind centrally if Gabi is central and his hold up and link up play isn't as good as Lacas. Or at least he has never shown that.

Any type of win is good enough. But 3 points are vital. Keep the winning momentum going. We have some very difficult games still to play. We can't afford slip ups.

 

[boxerumble]

We will drop points at some stage but this is not that game. Absolute must get 3 points here. Don’t care how ugly this gets, even scrappier than our last goal against them will do just fine.

Also agree ESR may be best served here over Martinelli, at least to start the game.

 

[avenellroad]

Need to keep the momentum going. They will have their tails up after the Sp**s game, and there should be space on the counter to put a few past them. Our finishing was woeful against them in the last game, can’t afford that again.

 

[field442]

Please just put Martinelli up front.

 

[14Henry]

Please just put Martinelli up front.

When was the last time Martinelli played a PL game up front?
