Arsenal v Wolves: match preview

Arsenal v Wolves
Arsenal v Wolves: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

Exactly a year after Unai Emery was dismissed, his successor finds himself facing some familiar difficulties. How can Arsenal, so toothless in front of goal, find some spark and fluidity in attack? Reiss Nelson may be given a chance to provide it after a good Europa League display at Molde and all eyes will be on whether Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gets another run at centre-forward. The striker at the other end of the pitch, Raul Jiménez, would appear to have many of the qualities Arsenal lack and will be confident of compounding their uncertainty with a third straight home defeat in the league.
