Kilman and Ait Nouri benched as Aubameyang leads the line for Arsenal

Two relatively goal-shy attacks go head to head at the Emirates this evening, as Arsenal play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Kick-off in north London is at 19:15 GMT.

The Gunners have scored on just one occasion in the last five Gameweeks and their last goal from open play came against Sheffield United at the beginning of October.

Mikel Arteta’s side have had fewer attempts on goal than any other team this season.

Wolves have similarly been below-par in the opposition box, with both themselves and Arsenal in the bottom six for goals scored in 2020/21.

Despite being top of our Season Ticker for attack from Gameweeks 3-9, Nuno Espirito Santo’s outfit have scored at a rate of less than one goal per match over that time.

On the positive side, however, these two clubs are among the five meanest defences for goals conceded (ten apiece).

As for the team news, Arteta has made two changes from the team that held Leeds United at Elland Road last week.

Bukayo Saka (£5.2m) has recovered from a dead leg to replace the suspended Nicolas Pepe (£7.6m), while David Luiz (£5.5m) is in for Rob Holding (£4.4m) at centre-half.

We await to see how the Arsenal boss sends out his troops but it appears, on paper, that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.6m) is leading the line at the Emirates.

Santo has made three alterations to his starting XI, with budget defender Max Kilman (£4.3m) – Wolves’ most-owned FPL asset – among those to make way.

Conor Coady (£5.0m) is back from his spell in self-isolation, while Pedro Neto (£5.5m) and Marcal (£4.8m) are also recalled.

Ruben Neves (£5.3m) and Rayan Ait Nouri (£5.0m) drop to the bench, along with Kilman.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Willock, Willian, Saka, Aubameyang.

Wolves XI: Patrício, Semedo, Coady, Boly, Marçal, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Traoré, Podence, Neto, Jiménez.

            Have you delayed a transfer before a significant .1 price rice this year?If not, then it's not your own fault.

              It actually caught me unaware this week. I usually monitor fplstats but was very busy this week and that 2nd Jota rise caught me off guard.

            Is it just me who feels Dallas is not being given enough attention? Sure Leeds are vulnerable to collapses but at the same time they are capable of clean sheets and Dallas plays very advanced.

              I would care about points - not being casual

              I wouldn’t make that move personally

            Ziyech and Cancelo to Mahrez and James is happening. Points chasing ftw

            Right. Couldn’t hold onto my knees and took a hit. But now team looks all pretty. Ofc something will happen to offset things, but for a few days I’m going to just look at my team with with affection. 🙂

            Bruno Fernandes has scored 4 non-penalty goals in the Premier League this season, no midfielder has more.

            The penalty merchant is at it again.

              Making some transfers.

              1) Which two out of Grealish, Mahrez, Jota and De Bruyne?
              2) Wilson or Vardy?

              I am thinking De Bruyne, Grealish, Wilson

                1. Jota and KBD
                2. Wait and see.

                KDB, Jota and Vardy if you have the money

            7. antis0cial

              Early thoughts...

              A) Barkley to Soucek or JWP (which?)
              B) Barkley Ayling/coufal to Soucek Dias (-4)
              C) Barkley DCL to Jota Wilson (-4)
              D) Barkley DCL to Soucek Cavani (-4)

              I’m thinking A is maybe the best option, DCL could do well vs Burnley and not sure -4 worth it for a defender even if it is a city def vs Fulham?

              Finally found a way to get Salah in, get rid of Sterling and get KDB in:

              GW 12: Sterling to Salah
              GW 13: Ziyech to KDB and Vardy to Abraham

              Sounds ok?
