17/08 Football Predictions: Arsenal vs Wolverhampton – EPL

Arsenal will begin their 2024/25 Premier League campaign with a home fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium. After narrowly missing out on the title for two consecutive seasons, Mikel Arteta’s side is determined to make a strong start this time around.

With a squad brimming with talent and a favorable home record, the Gunners are set to take on a Wolves team that had an inconsistent end to their last campaign. As Arsenal aim for the top spot, this opening match could set the tone for their season.

  • Wolves have failed to score in four of their last six league meetings with Arsenal.
  • Arsenal conceded just 29 goals in the previous Premier League season.
  • Kai Havertz scored four goals in Arsenal’s final five league matches of last season.
  • Wolves have lost their opening Premier League fixture in each of the last three seasons.

Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Team News

The Gunners will be without some key players for their opening fixture, but they still boast a formidable lineup. Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu are both sidelined due to injuries, and Jurrien Timber remains a doubt with a foot issue. However, new signings like David Raya could make their competitive debuts, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is expected to start at left-back after an impressive pre-season. Despite the absences, Arsenal’s depth should see them field a strong XI.

  • Arsenal: Kieran Tierney (hamstring), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Jurrien Timber (doubt – foot).
  • Wolverhampton: Nelson Semedo (suspended), Matheus Cunha (hamstring), Mario Lemina (thigh), Jorgen Strand Larsen (groin), Daniel Podence (calf), Leon Chiwone (ankle), Enso Gonzalez (ACL), Sasa Kalajdzic (ACL).

Probable Line-Up

Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.

Wolverhampton XI: Sa; Doherty, Mosquera, Toti, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Lemina, Gomes, Bellegarde; Cunha, Hwang.

Verdict 

Arsenal’s strong record against Wolves and their superior squad depth make them clear favorites for this fixture. Wolves, who have struggled in recent meetings with the Gunners, are likely to find it tough to break down a well-organized Arsenal defense.
