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.

    How is Luiz permitted to play on? Any other head collision or even just heading the ball in the game could be dangerous for him. The medical team should be taking him off.

    There was a nasty crash in F1 today. That's another sport that has got away with a few things recently: marshals running across tracks with cars at speed, cars released from safety cars before marshals are off track, etc. For such rich sports, they have an alarmingly relaxed approach to these things.

      Yeah you would wonder how Luiz did not suffer a concussion there.

      You just have to trust the medical staff that would have assessed David and deemed him ok to continue.
      I'm sure the players welfare would be paramount to the medical staff above and beyond anything else.

      As for the F1 they take the safety of the drivers and marshals very seriously tbf to them but even with the greatest intent in the world with the high speeds and forces involved it will always have an element of danger to it.

      There is no doubt about it that if Romain's car did not have the safety halo on the car that there was little or no chance he would have survived that shunt.

      Always when something like this happens in F1 it is thoroughly investigated and improvements made to make it so something like that won't happen again.

    Really difficult to have Salah KDB Bruno and Kane on the same team but I believe I will make it. My budget picks will be supported by Leeds Utd cause they are the only non big 6 team I can see scoring lots of goals in the next month

      Salah, KdB, Bruno and Vardy is enough for me. Downgrading DCL to Bamford and 4-4-2 is the way to do it probably.

    Struggling big time this season. Would be great to have some advice. I'm shipping out Hamez and Jimi, and would like to know which pair will be the best replacement? Only have 0.1 ITB now..

    A) Grealish + Wilson + 1.8
    B) JWP + Werner + 0.5
    C) Ziyech + Wilson + 1.2

    Rest of squad:
    Mendy // Steer
    Robbo Justin Targett Lewis // Mitchell
    Salah Bruno Sterling _____ // Bissouma
    DCL ______ // Brewster

    29 pts with Vardy (C), Grealish, Konsa & Coufal left.

    Could still be a 50-60 pts gameweek, which I'd be happy with.

    Really need a Vardy brace and a big fat 0-0 on the other game.
