Wolves v Arsenal team news: Gunners unchanged

A longer-than-usual day of Premier League football continues with a bit of a rarity, a 7.45pm GMT kick-off on a Saturday night – although it’s something we also witnessed at Anfield just two weeks ago.

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal are the two teams in action, with the Gunners set to pull five points clear at the top of the table if they win at Molineux.

Mikel Arteta unsurprisingly keeps the momentum going by naming yet another unchanged side: all of the team today have started every single league match that they have been available for this season.

As for Wolves caretaker manager Steve Davis, he makes two changes to the Wolves side that lost to Brighton in Gameweek 15.

Adama Traore and Toti Gomes come into the line-up for Daniel Podence and Hwang Hee-chan, so we could be looking at a defence-first 5-3-2 from the hosts tonight.

GAMEWEEK 16 LINE-UPS

Wolves XI: Sa, Semedo, Collins, Kilman, Toti, Bueno, B Traore, Neves, Moutinho, Guedes, A Traore.

Subs: Sarkic, Ait-Nouri, Podence, Mosquera, Ronan, Matheus Nunes, Hodge, Campbell, Lembikisa.

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Nketiah, Holding, Cedric, Vieira, Nelson, Elneny, Marquinhos.

    Reduce football halves to 40mins and introduce stopping the clock when it's out of play.

    Would result in less time wasting but would probably result in matches being much longer as teams would take advantage of when the clock stops for a break.

    I'm on the fence, what does everybody think?

      Would probably need to be nearer 60 minutes rather than 80.

        Fair enough. I'm sure they have data which can suggest the best option. Only worry is NFL style adverts during the match...

      I agree but I think it would need to be 30mins each half. Ball would still be in play longer than it is now.

        Yes, but since it wasn't flagged, that shot probably did count as shot off target. And in stats it will increase his xG.

      I'd actually go Saliba over the other two.

      I thinking along your lines originally but the decision is a longer play, so we'd just have to accept the 1 match ban.

          This is qualitative, but the general opinion of mates who are Arsenal fans is that he's the weak link in Arsenal's defence so it was more based on that.

    Good thing about having so many viable options in midfielders in the game is less template.

    Except Haaland (c), Martinelli, Almiron, the remaining 4 attackers will vary widely.

    Unlimited transfers sounds good on the face of it but the World Cup has the potential to mix things up a little. Don’t think it’s going to be a case of everyone just starts up again from where they left off this weekend. Physical and mental fatigue is going to be a factor with players involved in the competition while those not will be well rested.
