Triple Captain chips, Free Hits and some of those extra free transfers have been widely lavished on Arsenal players in Gameweek 16.

Tonight, the league leaders take on a Wolverhampton Wanderers side still without a win or clean sheet in 2025/26.

Will it be a cricket score or an anticlimax?

Kick-off at the Emirates is at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

It’s positive news on the fitness front as all four of the Gunners marked at ‘75%’ in the FPL flag system make the matchday squad.

William Saliba, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice start, while Leandro Trossard is among the substitutes.

Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze also come back into the side following midweek rests.

Compared to last weekend’s line-up against Aston Villa, rather than the much-changed XI sent out against Club Brugge, there are three changes.

It’s Gabriel Martinelli, Viktor Gyokeres and Saliba in for Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino and the suspended Riccardo Calafiori.

As for the beleagured visitors, Rob Edwards makes three changes to the side that lost to Manchester United.

Matt Doherty and Joao Gomes are back from injury and suspension, with Hwang Hee-chan joining them in the line-up.

Ki-Jana Hoever and Jhon Arias drop to the bench, while Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is injured.

LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Eze, Martinelli, Saka, Gyokeres.

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Jesus, Trossard, Odegaard, Norgaard, Madueke, Nwaneri, Merino, Lewis-Skelly.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Johnstone, Doherty, Agbadou, Toti, Mosquera, Wolfe, Krejci, Joao Gomes, Andre, Hwang, Strand Larsen.

Subs: Sa, Bueno, Arias, Arokodare, Chirewa, Hoever, Lopez, Mane, Tchatchoua.

    That wasn't an A, it was shot off target.

    1. Biggsy

      The shot on or off target is irrelevant to the rules:

      "A player who has the final touch before an own goal is scored is awarded an assist. The final touch can be a pass, an inadvertent touch, or a shot. If an own goal is scored following a deflected pass, an assist is awarded."

    2. Royal5

      If someone shoots in the woodwork and another player scores on the rebound it’s an assist. As it always has been.

    Can anyone explain it to me - why it wouldn't be an assist?
    Saka has the final attacking touch before the own goal, which qualifies for an assist under the Own Goals rule (“A player who has the final touch before an own goal is scored is awarded an assist”). Additionally, the goal comes after the ball hits the woodwork and rebounds off the goalkeeper, which is explicitly covered under Shots and Rebounds (“If an own goal is scored directly following a save, block or a shot rebounding off the woodwork, an assist is awarded”).

      If Johnstone touches it twice (onto the post and then into the net) rules say no assist.
