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.

        Man. I am shocked with the way this year is so cruel. So many pro stars dead.

        RIP Papa Diop

              A long battle against lung cancer is what has been reported! Sad.

          Not many details at the moment, seems to have been the result of a "long-term illness".

      2. Tcheco

        Depends how the game is going. Can see wolves going to 5 at the back if suitable

          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks but 1.5M short

    9. fusen
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      There is no way that Luiz should continue playing after that

      1. fusen
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Of course the player, especially Luiz, will say he is fine but the medical team should take it out of their choice

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Absolutely.

    10. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Is Luiz actually coming back on? How's this allowed?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        This needs addressing immediately.

    11. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You could hear their heads hitting without the crowd noise & it sounded awful

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Damn wasn't watching, didn't know it was that bad

    12. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Stick Semado up front I recon

    13. The Gravless Wonder
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This is horrible

    14. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This might not be a good time to ask this but with all due respect to Jimmy, is Fabio Silva going to be a starter in his absence?

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Come on man

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Sorry, only just realized how serious it was and I instantly regret asking that,

          1. Flair
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            All good. He probably will but we can't be sure. We'll learn more later.

      2. Spoox777
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        When something like that happens & your more worried about FPL? Idiot!!!

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Never.
          Wasn't watching the game, only came here to see Jimenez getting subbed off... then realized what actually happened

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe ask tomorrow.

    15. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Raul J off... jaysus that looks bad alright. Any neck injury could end his season here and now.

    16. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      KDB in for:

      A) Ziyech

      1. Spoox777
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Who is Hamez?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          JRod.

    17. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't look good. Looked like he was knocked completely out cold and wasn't moving at all. Get better soon Jimi.

    18. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      God i hope he is ok.

    19. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully, Jimenez won’t be out for too long. He’s genuinely one of my favourite PL players. Get well soon buddy.

    20. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully just knocked out, happens quite often in rugby to be fair, hope the big fella is ok

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Rugby protocols are a minimum of 2 weeks no play for "out cold" concussion. Depending on the severity it can be up to 4 weeks.

    21. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Players are dying from the results of head injuries. Take Luiz off now!

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Honestly medical team is being dumb

      2. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I Would hope they are taking every precaution. It was clearly a very different impact for him, possibly on the forehead.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          He was down for ages. All concussion concerns should be taken extremely seriously. We are seeing the results of lackadaisical approaches to these incidents.

          1. Baines on Toast...
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Oh I absolutely agree. But he was up fairly quickly.

            1. Baines on Toast...
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              We can’t ask for medical staff to take it seriously but also disregard the decisions they do make unless they take players off

      3. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I can't believe they're letting Luiz go back on. I'm sure they've done their HIA but we've seen mistakes made before with physios letting players go back on after head injuries.

    22. Kodap
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’m not watching the game; sounds bad.. what’s happened anyone

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Very bad head clash between Jime and Luiz, didn’t look good at all for Jime. Stretchered away.

    23. Party time
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Semedo is so overrated
