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.

      Don't know if it was a suitable first post but Jimi looked bad!

        Jimmy will be fine.

        Pray for Jiménez

          I seriously hope he is! That looked serious!

      That clash was awful - absolutely sickening sound. Best wishes to Jiminez.

    4. Parsnips

      That clash of heads was and sounded awful

      Thoughts with Jiminez. That sounded and looked awful in real time.

      With the F1 crash. It’s been a rough day

      Get well soon Jimmy

      Ole’s comments on Cavani

      “He has forced us to play him as he played really well against Istanbul. We kept him on the bench to keep drip-feeding him in as it will be a long season and he has been out for a long time."

      Will he begin to get starts?

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes but he won’t be a 90 min week in week out man

      Glad I didn't hear this impact. Poor Raul. Hope he gets better soon.

      Why isnt the game called off?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Money

      2. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Uh, why?

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No need.

      4. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Because this has not been the practice in 150 years of football. Can’t say it wouldn’t be appropriate in some cases however.

    10. Rainer

      Get well soon sweet prince Jimmy 🙁

    11. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’ve watched a minute and Arsenal look terrible again. Gabriel has the ball and Tierney the player who should be closest to him is standing behind 2 players and 30m away.

    12. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      Damn you Nuno, that was the chance to bring on Kilman!

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This comes across rather ignorant and in bad taste, just read the injury was bad so apologies

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Well done.

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Are you trolling?

      3. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Seriously

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Sorry, just caught up on the incident

    13. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years

      With no immediate status on Jimi, wondering what must be going on in Luiz's mind!

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He’ll be fine. He didn’t mean it.

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I seriously hope both of them are ok and we get to hear some good news regarding Jimi asap!

        Butterflies and stars I would imagine after that! (should be taken off imo)

      3. jungle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I was quite surprised he was allowed to continue - it was a heck of a clash.

    14. jay01
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Werner owners what are your plans?
      Not sure if i should keep on to him much longer but at the same time would hate if he ends up hauling as soon as i take him out

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Giving him another week for LEE, many chances he has had. Risk is the rotation with Pulisic hence he is going GW12.

    15. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      All Sky have said so far is that Jimenez has gone straight to hospital.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I hope we get some good news asap!

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah. Heard the ambulance.

    16. sergioaguero67
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jamal Lewis nailed?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

      2. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Partially unless Ritchie displaces him

    17. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Holding onto Son & Kane hasn't worked this week.

      But surely it isn't worth getting KDB or Salah now especially if it involves a -4 ?

      Stil fantasy the Spurs duo to do well against Arsenal.

      1. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Main problem is next week captaincy. Think I'm gonna try Kane or Bruno.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Imagine the sort of score KDB could get though.

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I think it is.

        1. tafrère
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Something like Kane + Hamez to KDB + Wilson/Watkins (-4) ?

          Not sure I want to do that tbh...

      3. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It’s worth it for a prime KDB against injured puppy Fulham

      4. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I’m in a similar position but can not convince myself to remove Kane or Son for multiple hits.

        1. tafrère
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Me neither. Maybe we'll be wrong again by keeping them though...

    18. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yesssss Wolves love it, for you Jimenez

    19. Kodap
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Werner & Grealish > Bruno & Wilson after next GW?

    20. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Berllerin Cs Wipeout

    21. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Could use Kilman coming on as a sub, otherwise I’ve got a trio of blanking defenders...

    22. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That should be Jimenez :((

    23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Arsenal are so bad

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Can't wait for AFTV

    24. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      This is what happens when you play Traore Nuno

    25. Party time
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Neto essential

      • JBG
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ooooff.. Just saw the collision on Twitter. Really hope he is alright.

      • It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Son(c) next GW is tempting

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          For a 0-0 stalemate?

      • Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Neto goal
        Dendocker assist

      • ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Neto is the FPL asset we all thought Podence would be...

      • JBG
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ofc Nuno starts playing Traore when most of us don't have Wolves attacking players.

      • Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Bellerin clean sheet wiped out.

        I’m so fed up - nothing has gone my way this week.

        I have Vardy(c) and Grealish to play tomorrow and am expecting them to blank too.

        Arghhhh!!!!
