Why you should back Arsenal

The Gunners have the confidence that comes with the victory in the last meeting, when they were a man down for the final 20 minutes. They have been tough to beat at the Emirates. Going 8-2-2 at their London grounds. They have a 20-9 advantage in goals, with the home goals conceded the second-fewest allowed in the Premier League. They have given up 26 overall, fifth-fewest in the league, while scoring 36, seventh-most. Wolverhampton has been excellent on the back end but has struggled to score, putting up just 23 goals, the third-fewest in the EPL.

Emile Smith Rowe (nine goals) and Bukayo Saka (seven) both scored in Arsenal's 2-1 win against Brentford last Sunday. Martin Odegaard (four goals, four assists) joins them in a strong midfield. The team doesn't have a fear-inducing striker, but Alexandre Lacazette (three goals, five assists) is a capable attacker. Wolves have the third-fewest shots in the EPL (250), so goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale might not face many challenges. If he does, he will be ready. He has 11 clean sheets in 20 starts, the second-best clean sheet percentage in the league (55).

Why you should back Wolves

The Wolverhampton defense and goalkeeper Jose Sa have been among the best in the Premier League all season. Sa is tied for second in the league in saves with 81 and has nine clean sheets. Wolves have been better on the road than at home this season, going 7-2-3 and outscoring opponents 13-8. It is unbeaten in its last four at the Emirates (1-3-0). 

Pedro Neto, one of the team's top players who had five goals and six assists last season, returned from a long-term injury last weekend. The team is at full strength, and it has a 4-1 goal advantage in winning its last two games. The squad doesn't score a lot of goals, but it does have some talent in attack, with Mexican striker Raul Jimenez and Daniel Podence up top. Podence has five goals in all competitions, Jimenez has a team-best five in league play and they have combined for five assists.
