Jota on the Wolves bench as Arsenal go with 3-4-3 formation

Diogo Jota (£6.2m) finds himself on the bench for Wolves as Arsenal coe to Molineux.

Nuno Espirito Santo has gone with the 3-5-2 formation that usually features the Portuguese international, instead pairing Raúl Jiménez (£8.3m) with Adama Traoré (£5.8m).

The rest of the Wolves team is as expected, with Matt Doherty (£6.4m) and Jonny (£5.4m) providing width for the five-man midfield in front of a the settled back-three of Romain Saïss (£4.7m), Conor Coady (£5.1m) and Willy Boly (£4.8m).

Meanwhile, Arsenal have gone with a 3-4-3 formation for the second match in a row after deploying it with great success against Norwich.

Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) is part of the back-three once again, while Kieran Tierney (£5.3m) and Cédric Soares (£4.8m) find themselves in midfield as wing-backs.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) sits on the left-hand side of the front-three, joined there Eddie Nketiah (£4.4m) and Bukayo Saka (£4.7m).

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; Jiménez, Traoré.

Arsenal XI: Martínez; Kolasinac, Luiz, Mustafi; Tierney, Xhaka, Ceballos, Cédric; Aubameyang, Nketiah, Saka.

      Sure, but Pope's still outscored comfortably

    Great performance from Arsenal.

    It’ll take time but Arteta is the way.

    1. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Serious confidence boost For arsenal, Arteta has been doing some good stuff...financial support from board and get players to fit his system and Arteta can rebuild the squad

    Arsenal playing like they're all on a 500k clean sheet bonus here lol

      .......

      They are

  10. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    David Luiz essential

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Is that a name of a shampoo?

  11. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I cannot understand why They are going to sign Jadon Sancho. where will he get a regular 1st team spot?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      United?

      You need a strong squad, not a strong XI. Rashford, Martial & Greenwood can rotate over the other 2 positions. Plenty of games.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I know. United being the super power in football, for the last 5 years are expecting nothing but the best. (smile)
        I stil think Sancho should be way down the shopping list.
        Defenders are required IMO

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          They've had one of the best defences in Europe this season. When there are errors, they are painfully obvious, like the Maguire and DDG blunders, but that shouldn't cloud that they've had 11 clean sheets in the last 16 games. They are good players, but grab headlines when there's a huge error.

          The main reason for dropped points this season has been the inability to break down buses, particularly when Pogba, Rashford, Martial were out injured. Creative depth is arguably more important imo.

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            More due to Good forward players. I like Wan B though.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Greenwood is #9 playing on RW just for the sake of first team minutes.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        And so is Rashford on the wing.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Rashford Tony are LW
          Too many of them in the team
          Sanchez James are LW too.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        In fact, you could say all Man U forwards are playing out of position. Kai Havertz a better proposition IMO

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          He's a CAM right ??
          Tbh I'd give anything to see a proper RW playing in United jersey

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I was being a little "tongue in cheek" I like all English sides to do well. Just ManU is about 20 on my list. (smile)

          2. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Actually A right wing IMO

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Ohkk
              I didn't know that. Chelsea seems to have taken control over his transfer from what I remember.
              One RW & One CDM is key for United

              1. Eze Really?
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Yep Kais is a central Atacking Mid. Chelsea have got him probably. They have bought the three best players coming to England so far, with the exception of Bruno.

          3. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Sorry Havertz yes CAM

        His owners should have bailed after last week

    • Right In The Stanchion

      As an arsenal fan, this little winning run is encouraging. Thought we’d lose or draw this today. Nice surprise

        Yes, good for the team's confidence

    • Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Cant believe Iv ended up wasting an extra 1m and a Utd spot on De Gea instead of Martinez

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Same. Awful decision

      2. Nightcrawler

        Same lol. Neednto use 2 transfers tonget greenwood in now

        Think it's been 4 years since a united spot was relevant to be fair

      5. Ajax Hamsterdam

        arsenal have tougher games now so hopefully ddg decision will pay off

    • Mr.K
      • 10 Years

      Auba & Jimenez -> Rashford & Greenwood worth a -4?

        people taking loads of hits is the only way for me to climb back up so yes please 🙂

      Guys since salah and mane are mids and firmino a striker , will same way rashford and greenwood be classified as mids next season ?
      And martial as a striker ?

      1. Begbie.
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Logically they should relist Rashford as a midfielder... which is why they won't.

        1. Tempestic
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ofc they will

      2. Wild Rover

        Possibly

      I think there is a slight chance Greenwood will go up in price tonight.

        100% going up
        I think I'm going to do an early transfer after so many GW's

      • 10 Years

      Actually scratch my previous question cause I have a better one. I have my WC, Bench Boost and Free Hit left. I believe you can't play Free Hit and Bench Boost during the same week so would it make sense to WC now, play bench boost and then I still have my free hit for the last GW or somesuch?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        fh for 38. how is your team looking ? wc36 bb37 and fh 38 could be gold green arrows galore 🙂

        1. Mr.K
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          This is more or less what I was thinking. My team isn't terrible but I wouldn't mind reorganizing. I do have dead weight like Hanley and Cantwell in addition to the Auba & Jimenez I'd like to get rid of. Strictly speaking I could manage with WC but I don't really see why I would wait on it either.

              If I had saved my transfer i would do this move i think. for a hit not so sure. both rashford and dcl have nice fixtures. i m thinking saving then dcl and rashford to vardy and greenwood for free following gw (vardy has bournemouth then)

                Thanks for the information about Vardy.
                Actually Kane & Vardy fixtures are exactly opposite i guess
                And it's the Bournemouth fixture that is appealing me for Kane.
                Re Vardy, I don't think I'll own him again this season
