Arsenal vs Wolves Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Premier League 2024-25

The Gunners are one of the favourites to win the Premier League this season.

Premier League football makes its long-awaited return to Emirates Stadium on Saturday when Arsenal pit their wits against Wolves on matchday one. The Gunners know a fast start is vital to putting pressure on the defending champions Manchester City.

After last season’s disappointment of missing out on the Premier League title, this time, Mikel Arteta’s men will look to give their all to get their hands on the Silverware. Riccardo Calafiori has arrived to bolster the defence of the Arsenal team. They are prepared to try and reach the levels of perfection required to end their two-decade wait for the league title.

Wolves established themselves as a solid mid-table outfit under O’Neil. They even threatened a top-10 charge in the spring months. However, only for a dismal set of end-of-season results, they were left to plunge to the 14th spot. Wolves have not won in the Emirates since November 2020. This time they will look to get a win.

Form

Arsenal (in all competitions): W-W-L-L-W

Players to Watch

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

Bukayo Saka is a real creative force, capable of getting into dangerous positions and playing killer final balls. He is happy on either wing but thrives when he has the freedom to move infield and into positions between the lines to receive passes. He has a rare ability to receive the ball on the half turn, between the lines and then progress play quickly. He has brilliant close control and dribbling ability and can beat defenders in one-on-one situations.

Hwang Hee-Chan (Wolves)

Hwang Hee-Chan is a poacher inside the box and always looks for the right opportunity to score goals. His movement on the edge of the opposition box is fantastic. He likes to take the ball in behind opposition defences often from an arching run to get on the end of through balls. He is not a selfish player and always looks for better opportunities for himself and his teammates in the opponent’s half.
